Choose two products that refer to scientific facts in their
marketing, which we use in everyday life, such as make-up,
toothbrushes, hair care and more that you think the reference to
scientific facts is correct and relevant and for which you do not
consider it appropriate. For example, you can write about
advertising with two different brands of makeup, two different
brands of hair care and more...Then answer the questions below.
Write about 500 words, half a page on a computer.
1. Are advertisements targeting different the public depending
on gender?
2. Do you think that some advertisements are stereotype-loaded and
gender-biased? Are these
strategies are showing also norms (stereotypical representation)
about science and gender, age, or
ethnicity?
3. Was it easy to find scientific facts and properly evaluate the
accuracy and relevance of the
marketing?
4. Have you come across any ads that “turn against chemistry” or
“try to circumvent chemistry”?
5. Do we believe “science” can be used as an argument on whether or
not we can evaluate the
credibility of the claim?
6. Did anyone find a product that is in breach of the Swedish
Consumer Agency’s regulations?
7. Are scientific facts referenced excessively to make us believe
in the great qualities of a product or
service? If so, can that be hazardous in any way?
Choose some products that refer to scientific facts in their marketing. Research the scientific base and assess whether you find the scientific reference correct and relevant to the product. Even if a statement is correct (for example, that a product contains a certain substance), it can still be so irrelevant (for example, if a person would need to consume an unnatural amount of the product in order to achieve any effect). Find out if the ad complies with the marketing rules set by. Then choose a product where you believe the reference to scientific facts is correct and relevant and a product where you do not. Try to find an advertisement (photo, announcement, etc.) that can be considered norm- critical. Make a summary of the work and then answer the questions below. 1. Are advertisements targeting different the public depending on gender? 2. Do you think that some advertisements are stereotype-loaded and gender-biased? Are these strategies are showing also norms (stereotypical representation) about science and gender, age, or ethnicity? 3. Was it easy to find scientific facts and properly evaluate the accuracy and relevance of the marketing? 4. Have you come across any ads that "turn against chemistry" or "try to circumvent chemistry"? 5. Do we believe "science" can be used as an argument on whether or not we can evaluate the credibility of the claim? 6. Did anyone find a product that is in breach of the Swedish Consumer Agency's regulations? 7. Are scientific facts referenced excessively to make us believe in the great qualities of a product or service? If so, can that be hazardous in any way?
