Power of Advertising

Advertisers today use performance and sexuality to sell many products. Many big name companies such as Nike and Axe use sex to sell their product when it is really unnecessary to do so. It almost seems like advertisers are trying to sell the person rather then the product. When somebody walks into Abercrombie and Fitch they will mostly see photos that are very sexual and barely show the product they are trying to sell. Advertising today, in my opinion, does not set the best example for children growing up. Children should not be exposed to the amount of sexuality in advertising. Many people believe that advertisements portray women to be objects rather the people. Men are frequently shown dominating women in advertisements. Advertising has a very strong influence on everybody and I think that advertisers need to set a better example then they do now.
