But, what really is beauty? Why has there been a set standard for how you must look? Media has truly ruined the minds of women by creating an image that is impossible to attain. Women all around the world spend thousands of dollars to temporarily cover their own beauty. This is where the question “Why do you wear makeup?” comes into play. Some women wear makeup for themselves, and some wear it for others. However, even that does not play too much of an influence. It all comes down to who is influencing you to destroy your own beauty.

What many people do not know is that television in many ways is bad. Many newspaper articles have been written on this. Many surveys and books have been written on this subject as well. The ads in television are what are especially bad. Some television ads are very misleading to the public. Many companies use false advertisement to catch the audience’s attention. In this case, they use it in many ways such as billboards, posters, etc. The way the product is shown in the advertisement makes the customer want to buy the product because of the way it catches the customer’s eye.

A certain food industry named McDonald’s is known for this type of advertisement on the famous burger, The Big Mac. The meal that they would serve you at any ordinary McDonald’s would not be the same as the burgers on the posters or the billboards. This is caused by either the laziness or the speed of the employees at the McDonald’s. Also, on TV commercials, they make sure that their burgers are made to perfection so that it attracts the costumer, but when it comes to reality, the employees at the fast food restaurant put no effort into making their burgers at good as they look on the Television...

In the end, fast food advertisements were shown most frequently during children’s programs. These advertisements never meet the recommended daily values for nutrition in any category.

...students Advertising Changes Advertisements are carefully designed so that each element helps sell a product. For example, a 1952 Maybelline makeup advertisement and a 2009 Max Factor makeup advertisement both used specific elements in ways designed to reach their audiences. The 1952 advertisement and the 2009 advertisement attempted to reach differing audiences through the use of text, positioning, and models. The 1952 advertisement contains a small text, a before and after picture of a female model, and a large headline. The small text shows that people, in this case women, liked to find out for themselves what was being advertised through reading. The before and after picture of the female model the advertisement has is much bigger than the text. This lets us know that people might have liked to be informed through pictures as well, meaning they liked to see the differences the products being advertised made. The 2009 advertisement displays a slightly larger text than the one of 1952, a picture of female model wearing the makeup being advertised, and a large headline too. Due to the text being slightly larger than the one of 1952, we can see that people from nowadays still enjoy reading. The makeup being worn by the models hasn’t changed, women still like to see what the product looks like being worn.
