Abstract
This study uses a social comparison theory as the primary basis for its exploration of body perception in advertising, affects of advertising on self-esteem, and purchase decisions. It explores the theoretical basis of the negative effect and how exposure to highly attractive models (HAMs) affects the intention to buy a beauty product in women with a low opinion of their own body image.

From the Paper
"It is important to note that social and clinical research studies over the years have given definite conclusions that show the relation to and affect of media exposure and its representation of the thin body-image as ideal in relation to a negative affect on the women's self-image and lead to body dissatisfaction (Groesz, Levine, & Murnen, 2002). The conclusions and results show that the most common effects of this "thin" ideal body-image is to do with self-image and body unhappiness (e.g., Harrison & Cantor, 1997; Heinberg, Thompson, & Stormer, 1995). Other research into the concept of thin as ideal has demonstrated inconsistent, minimal or no association whatsoever between the two phenomenon (e.g., Champion & Furnham, 1999; e.g., Cash, Cash, & Butters, 1983; Irving, 1990)!"

Abstract
This paper examines advertising and how it impacts women in three ways: body image; sexuality; and consumer spending habits. Specifically, the writer argues that advertising has been - and continues to be - shaped by stereotypical depictions of the two genders, and that women remain faced with a popular media that glorifies unhealthy body images at the same time as it sexualizes women and impresses upon them the sense that they need to dress and act a certain way in order to be "true" women. Finally, the paper looks at how consumer advertising has placed women in a position where they are now expected to consume both like women - and like men.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Advertising in America and throughout the western world impacts women in many ways - most of them negative. In the pages that follow, the impact of advertising upon women in the realms of body image, sexuality, and consumer impulses will all be discussed, with the general argument being raised that advertisers seize upon female insecurities and self-perceived inadequacies in order to make money - even if the process ends up sparking eating disorders and psychological disorders among young and old females. In the end, women need to appreciate that advertisers are not interested in social welfare but in making money - often by appealing to shop-worn notions about gender roles."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this discussion on advertising is to examine the goals of advertising, the types of advertising, and various techniques used in advertising strategies. In addition, this paper addresses personal marketing versus mass marketing, and clarifies the roles of such marketing tools as sales promotion, publicity, and public relations, which are different from the role of advertising.
Advertising is "the nonpersonal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products, services, or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media". Key words in this definition that, when used together, separate advertising from other marketing tools are nonpersonal, paid, persuasive, and media. First, advertising is not personal because it lacks face-to-face ... "

Abstract
This paper examines how the media?s influence in Western culture is pervasive and how, through magazines, television, and print ads such as billboards, advertisers have consistently adopted gender stereotypes in terms of body image and use these stereotypes to sell their products. It looks at how the stereotypical womanly ideal is slender to the point of looking unhealthy and how men are consistently presented with an overly muscular, perfectly lean physique. It considers the effects of such unrealistic stereotypical ideals and looks at the effects of the female stereotype on men and of the male stereotype on women.
From the Paper
"The presentation of the ideal female stereotype also has effects in terms of eating disorders that are seen in parts of the world where this ideal predominates. Since the ideal presented is so far from normal, and can rarely be attained by healthy means, anorexia nervosa and bulimia rates have risen. The only way most women can approach this stereotype of is through starvation or disordered eating. Research (Botta et al., 2003) has shown that rates of eating disorders may be predicted based upon the magazine reading habits of the women studied. If subjects were repeatedly exposed to images of unrealistically thin models, prevalence of anorexia and bulimia was greater. ?Overall, magazine reading and processing accounted for?28.0% of variance for girls? anorexic behaviors?27.5% for girls? bulimic beahaviors?23.4% for girls? body satisfaction?[and] 41.6% for girls? drive to be thin.? (Botta, 2003). Ironically, men do not see thinness as the same prerequisite for attractiveness in women that women themselves do."

Advertising is sophisticated, very well thought through and everywhere. It directly impacts our choices and often mirrors society.

The Ethics of Advertising to Children, 2008.
A discussion of the ethics of advertising to children.

Abstract
This paper looks at that question of whether advertising directed at children is ethical. It points out that the amount of advertising targeting children continues to grow. Children view an estimated 360,0000 advertisements on television before graduating from high school. The paper also claims that, not until the early 1970s, was advertising directed at children seen as a problem in the United States. The paper argues that, although studies show that children under the age of seven cannot distinguish the difference between an advertisement and fact, there is little if any regulation of advertising directed at children within the United States. The paper compares the US to other countries, which have adopted the philosophy that advertising directed at children is immoral and have stepped in with varying levels of regulation. The paper concludes that, regarding television, it is unlikely there will be any restrictions placed on advertisers; however, with the proliferation of sites such as MySpace, YouTube, blogging, and other future technological advances to the Internet, there may eventually be a public outcry for more stringent regulations.

Introduction
History of Advertising & Advertising to Children
Advertising and Its Impact on Children
Why So Much Emphasis on Advertising to Children?
Notable Examples of Advertising to Children
The Regulation of Advertising
Regulations in Other Countries
How Likely Change Is in the Future & Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the US, there are currently few policies or standards for food advertising and marketing aimed at children. The advertising industry maintains self-regulatory policies established by the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) of the National Council of Better Business Bureaus. CARU's guidelines apply to all forms of children's advertising, but it has no legal authority over advertisers and can only seek voluntary compliance. CARU has a group of about 20 advisors and 35 supporters, many of whom are from the food industry, such as Burger King, Frito-Lay, McDonald's, General Mills, Nabisco and Hershey. The CARU voluntary guidelines list seven basic principles, which address areas such as product presentation and claims, endorsement and promotion by program characters, sales pressures, disclosures and disclaimers and safety concerns."

From the Paper
"The fastest growing segment in the entire world is the telecom sectors specifically the cellular phones. It isn't surprising to say that there is more number of cellular phone users than computers today, in particular the developing countries. The biggest beneficiary of the telecom boom is the advertisement industry since it is blessed with one additional source to reach the public domain. With the costs of computers and last mile connectivity coming down, Internet penetration is improving in the developing countries."

Abstract
This paper discusses the respective approaches that Wal-Mart and target corporations take vis-a-vis advertising. The paper takes on the form of a SWOT analysis, outlining the relative merits and demerits of each approach, while offering a brief assessment of what possibly lies ahead for each. More than that, the paper suggests that the present battle being waged between them will only escalate as target proves itself a worthy adversary.
From the Paper
"Advertising has always been the lifeblood of businesses everywhere. In recent years, however, the level of sophistication found in American advertising has grown exponentially. The following paper will look at two sophisticated businesses - Walmart and Target - and assess the relative merits and demerits of their advertising strategies. If Walmart is habitually referred to as an organization preferring "rational" advertising, then Target must surely be an organization that stresses innovation and high quality as part of its 'sales pitch' to America - and to the rest of the World.

Advertising Culture of the 1920s, 2006.
A discussion regarding advertising in the 1920s, in relation to advertising today.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the differences between the advertising of the 1920s and today are substantial. The advertising of that time was less sophisticated. Products were sold based on their perceived values and usefulness, not simply on sex appeal. The paper further discusses that it is not to say that sex appeal was ignored; products aimed at women often advertised how appealing they would make women feel, or how they would make women appear to men. Coca-Cola and Palmolive soap are products that demonstrate the changes that have taken place in advertising, both in the purpose of advertising and the images associated with it.
From the Paper
"The decade of the 1920s was an era of rapid change. Women scandalized their men as their hemlines rose steadily, reaching the mid-20s "flapper" styles; makeup became popular; and their hairstyles got shorter. Men's fashions became more conservative and geared toward the comfort of the wearer. "Convenience" became the watchword of the day, whether related to clothing, chores, travel, or communication. Almost overnight, the world became a different place, in large part thanks to advertising. Cultural Overview The world was a rapidly changing place in the decade of the "Roaring Twenties." This decade came on the heels of the Progressive Era, which had run out of steam by the beginning of that decade (Miller, 2003, p. 13). "

This paper discusses the tangible and intangible methods of communication in advertising and uses a case study of a small Greek business to illustrate effective advertising strategies.The paper describes the different tools and method available for advertising, the approach to advertising that small businesses should use, and makes recommendations for the small business described in the case study.
From the Paper
"Advertising strategies differ significantly. This is based on the industry and the product being sold. In addition, the target market and the financial constraints experienced by the company wishing to advertise also will determine the medium and the intensity of advertisement that can be undertaken. Companies should also understand the culture and ethics of the region in which they are advertising and the nature of the product (essentials, luxury goods or status goods) that the market can support. In the book "Effective Advertising," the author Gerard J. Tellis is of the opinion that advertising is "a complex task" as it has to address the attention span of the market being targeted and nature of processing of the advertised information done by the average individual. (Tellis, 2004) To further complicate matters, potential customers should also have the ability to recall the advantages and benefits of the product when they are in the market to purchase this product."

Abstract
This paper examines how the use of female images in the media and particularly in advertising has become a contentious issue in recent years and how numerous studies and articles have been written on the subject. There is a general consensus among academics and researchers that the manner in which advertising uses female images has a profound affect on society in general and the individual consumer. However, whether this effect is entirely negative or positive is a question that is at issue. One of the intentions of the present study is to present these views against the background of the history and function of advertising. A central purpose of this dissertation is to examine the implications surrounding the usage of female imagery in advertising. The implications in both a social and psychological sense are examined in-depth. The study also takes cognizance of the various views and opinions of various aspects of this subject. The overall intention of the study is to present a clear overview and analysis of the historical and contemporary reality of the use of female images in the advertising industry.

Conclusion and Summation
From the Paper
"Advertising is an integral part of our social and economic systems. In our complex society, advertising has evolved into a vital communications system for both consumers and businesses. The concepts of buying and consuming have been around since time immemorial and the fact that much of life focuses in this commonplace arena, makes advertising a fascinating subject for anyone who is interested in how people cope with everyday existence. In ancient times 'persuasion through communication' was mainly by word of mouth, yet commercial messages were found in the ruins of Pompeii, a town that was founded in the 7th century BC by the Osci, a people of central Italy."
