This assignment requires you to pay attention to advertisements or commercials while you watch television. Choose a commercial to write about (350-450 words) that demonstrates your understanding and application of the argument that the media both fosters and reflects cultural stereotypes and values:
Open with a short but clear description (2-4 sentences) of the commercial. If an online link to your chosen commercial is available (e.g., on YouTube), please include it in the paper. If not link can found be sure to describe the commercial, including the product or service is promotes. This section does not count toward the word limit for the paper, but is required.
What is the purpose of the commercial, and who is the intended audience?
What stereotypes and cultural messages do you think the commercial conveys? Explain.
How would this message (whether intentionally or intentionally) reinforce inequality, prejudice, bias, and intolerance in society?
Use citations for the sources in your discussion.
