topics for Presentation

1. GED schools and online education commercials give off common stereotype that people have to already have kids or low income in order to go to these colleges. Places like Devry and other fast degree colleges show stereotype that if your not getting a late education or are under certain circumstances like children or didn't graduate from high school then you don't need to get an education from them. These commercials for these schools make it seem as if you have to have made some mistakes in life in order for people to go there for an education.

2. Sex appeal in levi jeans ads. These ads depict that most youth who run around in these jeans either spend half their day shirtless or half the day having sex with their other partner who also wears the jeans. Their new ad campaign is very similar to the abrocrombie and fitch ad campaign that depicts if your not white or slender then you probably have no business wearing levi jeans.

3. Viagra and Enzyme commercials show a mediating message that sex makes the world go round, also giving a hint that wife wants the male to get the medicine more than he does. these ads target all males of all ages, even though these ads obviously try to convey it is for older men it somehow also reaches younger audiences, especially with the enzyme ads.

  1. The first one seems especially original, and you will need to point out the details in the ads that convey these subtle messages. If these are all TV commercials you will have to make screen captures from Youtube or find some other way to show your examples.

  2. hey liz i was a little bit worried about my presentation because i was unable to find ads in general magazines for the online schools i used as examples for my presentation. i do have images i captured from commercials but i do have 3 images captured from the schools actual website, is this credible in your opinion?

  3. Maybe they don't think their potential students read magazines? Start with the image captures from ads, and then use their promotional materials to strengthen your argument. These items are definitely credible, since an advertiser, designer, or PR firm chose them for the school.
