This ad is a picture of Rosie the riveter saying “I’ll give up my choice when George W. Bush gets pregnant”. Rosie the riveter is a fictional character created by the government to sell the importance of the war effort. She was supposed to be the ideal woman worker, one who is loyal, efficient, and patriotic and last but not least pretty. To help promote this fictional character they made a song that became very popular.
George W. Bush was against abortion. We know this because he has said that he didn’t like abortion. He also tries to sway people opinions on this matter by saying that he thinks things such as the abortion pill aren’t safe for women to use and that it may harm them. This may put doubt in some peoples mind if that is really what’s best for them.
They use a well-known character in order to capture their audience’s attention. Then they list their view point. The ad is saying that Rosie the fictional character is pro-choice. I get this from the add because it says when George W. Bush gets pregnant which is extremely unlikely to happen due to the fact that he is male. This implies that she never intends to change where she stands on this issue and believes that all women deserve to have a choice.
During this time most men were in the war. With most of the man gone many jobs were left open. This lead to women having to work. Women responded to this call of work differently. Women with families didn’t want to work but they didn’t have much choice. They took work because they felt it was the patriotic thing to do it was also the economic incentive that lead to many taking jobs.
The ad shows Rosie with her hand in a fist making a muscle to signify that she is strong. The women at this time were treated differently from me...

...eal to logos. Its appeal to logos is through the fact that women make decisions for themselves the best. It also appeal to logos by saying it’s a woman’s right to decide what she should do with her body and that a man shouldn’t be able to make that decision for them
In conclusion the ad shows its appeal to logos, pathos, and ethos by having a woman on it and having her state her opinion. By having the character state her opinion it will make people who see this ad think about the issue at hand. In addition to that the ad uses a simple but effective way to capture the audience’s attention. It captures attention by using a well-known character, a short but effecting statement, and a simple color scheme to draw attention. Doing so helps grab the reader and then further deliver the message of pro-choice and that it’s a woman’s choice to do with her body as she pleases.

    In 1943, most women worked as teachers, nurses, or done some sort of domestic labor. Their opportunities were nowhere near as vast as the men’s. This caused the women to feel left out or unequal. Women fought for more equal opportunities as well as equal treatment. This along with their sense of patriotism is what led them to work in these factories. They wanted to be viewed as equal counterparts and have the same opportunities as men during this time. Not as many opportunities were open to the women so they jumped at the chance to widen them when the idea of working in the factories came up. This also paired with their sense of patriotism, making their determination to work stronger. The women knew the men were off fighting for their freedom so this would give them a chance to contribute to the cause as well as help war production. This challenged the views of the workplace as well as the beliefs of where women belonged in the workplace. Numerous men...

    In her example, she speaks of how this advertisement reestablishes the idea of loving your body. Women have curves, they have hips, they have thighs. In the Nike advertisement it makes the [consumer] feel proud of their strong, athletic body (Haley pg 108). The woman in the Playtex display has the ideal body type of a runner.

  • Barry Hinckley’s Ad on Immigration

    1044 Words  | 3 Pages

    The campaign advertisement under review was from the 2012 United States senatorial race in Rhode Island. The advertisement features the republican senate aspirant Barry Hinckley. His main opponent was democratic senator Sheldon Whitehouse. The key campaign disputes being advocated by the contestants was the immigration issues with each airing their views. Other issues and topics of campaign were such as abortion as a woman’s unrestricted right where Barry’s campaign was in favor ("Immigration: Rhode Island Political Leaders' views."). Other topics that Barry’s campaign favored were such as the acquiescence of same sex matrimonies, the privatization of societal security, the ability for families to guarantee for school choices and the consummate right for individuals to own firepower. Topics of campaign that Barry’s campaign detested and strongly opposed were such as the development of the Obama-care and the setting up of greater taxes and duties on the wealthy individuals. While Barry Hinckley’s stand was that individuals that broke into America illegitimately should not be rewarded, Sheldon Whitehouse’s campaign held that there should exist a path to citizenship into the United States after unlawful foreigners and aliens have paid specified dues. ("Immigration: Rhode Island Political Leaders' views.") Sheldon’s campaign also held that immigrants ought to be capable of attaining their dream of residency and consequently lawful citizenship.

    When all the men were across the ocean fighting a war for world peace, the home front soon found itself in a shortage for workers. Before the war, women mostly depended on men for financial support. But with so many gone to battle, women had to go to work to support themselves. With patriotic spirit, women one by one stepped up to do a man's work with little pay, respect or recognition. Labor shortages provided a variety of jobs for women, who became street car conductors, railroad workers, and shipbuilders. Some women took over the farms, monitoring the crops and harvesting and taking care of livestock. Women, who had young children with nobody to help them, did what they could do to help too. They made such things for the soldiers overseas, such as flannel shirts, socks and scarves.

  • Rhetorical Analysis: Rosie The Rter

    336 Words  | 1 Pages

    The look on her face is fierce, and bold, which was the, the opposite of what a woman has been depicted as and expected to be by society’s standards; in this way, she was defying the concept of a stereotype of women, meaning that women were supposed to be soft housewives. Despite the hard look on her face, her strong arms, and her blue labor outfit, she is still feminine; she is wearing mascara, possibly a touch of eyeliner, and hints of blush and lipstick. Equally important, “The main colors of the poster are red, white, and blue, the background is a bright yellow, which was meant for highlighting Rosie and attracting viewers’ eyes…” All this was done specifically and intentionally to promote America in general, the war effort, and women in the workforce. This poster raised eyebrows for many audiences.

    Through the application of physical appearance, audience and text the ad unfortunately paints women in a negative manner. The ad employs tactics that reel society into believing that women must put a man on a pedestal in order to gain his admiration. Women have the right to be treated equally and deserve to be represented in a positive light so the culture can fray away from following beliefs similarly portrayed in this 1930s advertisement. We must teach the next generation that although it is in our nature to nurture those around us, there are no boundaries or restrictions for women to excel in society for the

    ...rn society sees women as real people with intellect. Instead of not being allowed or perceived as capable of controlling their own lives and situation, today's women are expected to control their own lives without interference or constant dependence on others, or more specifically, their husbands. These advertisements demonstrate just what a drastic change has taken place in the last fifty years. Even though both ads are about cars, the body image, body language, and text portray a striking difference in the view of women. Maybe this change was brought about by the Women's Liberation Movement, maybe such subjugation just cannot last forever. But whatever the cause, the change has definitely taken place.

    The first problem with this sexist commercial is that it devalues women as a whole and is very overly sexual. Due to the advertising world being very sexist, it is a danger to their business to promote an advertisement that the public is going to be offended by. If a man sees a attractive half naked woman eating a thick juicy burger on a television commercial, he will most likely be going to get the wrong impression of who a woman really is. With the advertising market knowing about sexism being a huge issue in the past, it creates a serious problem for women and especially for the youth. It is bad beca...
