1. Weight loss/fitness ads- The idea of one working to have the "perfect body" within a few days. Emphasizing to consumers how being skinny is the acceptable way to look. Why is being skinny so important and stressed in these ads?
2. Credit/loan ads- They tend to have more emphasis of casting minorities in these ads. Why is it that minorities are always depicted as being poor?
3. Domestic cleaning ads- These ads are almost always using women. Lysol ads, Swifer wet jet ads, laundry ads. These ads emphasize women as being domestic beings whos job is cleaning in the house
