Above are some pictures of stereotypical advertisements in magazines. These images have various reasons as to why they are stereotypical. For e.g the Huggies advertisement says "Have dad put Huggies to the test" because father's do not usually want to change diapers and people think that women have to do all that work. In the picture on the bottom left is a sports magazine for men and in order to attract men to buy the magazine they put a half naked woman posing on the front cover for men to see it and want to buy it. Also in the Men's Health magazine when you look at it you can see that it is just about sex or building muscle and abs. In the top right advertisement it says "The chef does everything but cook thats what wives are for!" which means that men do not do anything in the kitchen and the women are supposed to do all the house work like the advertisement on the top right.
Explain the effects of the inclusion,exclusion,or positioning of people or groups in magazines advertisements: Inclusion, exclusion or positioning of people or groups in magazine advertisement create or change peoples views on reality and how they think reality is. For example in the Men's Health magazine they make it seem like all men are about sex and having a good body and muscles or like in the advertisement with the woman cleaning it shows that women are only supposed to do all the cleaning and housework. Also in the Huggies Ad they make it seem like fathers never change their babies diapers.
