Hi Guys
I am so cross right now because my browser just refresshed and wiped my whole post away!
Well anyway i hope we all have finished our projects and had fun doing it :)
As i can see a lot of people in our class has done GUESS. But why wouldnt we? First of all they have amazing clothes (which most of us cannot afford). And we cannot deny it that whenever we see their advertisements, we melt, it appeals to us and we think to ourselves that wow that guy with the top off is hot or i wish i had her body or maybe even her hair? Some people even think that if we buy those clothes we will look like that or that we could get that guy, and yes peopl do think that. All of that comes down to that rush of hormones, that every individual has. That is the way GUESS wants us to react, they are targetting our hormones in order to get money out of us. Which is a very clever technique, because GUESS today is an international best selling company that has a great income that we admire.
That sort of technique has been used throughout history, we as woman were stereotyped and were portrayed as domestic slaves, as housewives and teachers. We had to let our husband come home to a clean house, that obviously we had cleaned, and a warm cooked meal that we made. We were also known as the baby makers, because our assets attract the opposite sex.
When GUESS started off they only provided products for woman, but as you can see now, they have expanded for men, their adverts attract men too.
The sad thing is that this technique will keep on going on forever and we cannot stop it
Us as woman must stand up straight, be who WE want to be and prove that stereotype wrong!
Thank you so much grade 11W and Ms Kunze for this interesting project :)
Love Hannah
