Dit is propaganda omdat
This campaign aims to harness people's dislike of the beauty culture and align it with a brand of soap. The ironies of the campaign are intriguing. It's harmful if people think this will stop the negative influence of beauty culture.

    This is positive propaganda that creates an enemy - the beauty industry - to differentiate their product.

    This video is not harmful to anyone, it tells the person to protect their children from the industry because otherwise they might believe, and then cut themselves open to be pretty.

    It made me think about how the beauty business really influences young girls into being anorexic and ruining their bodies.

    This message attacked and criticized the beauty industry, by saying that they influence many young girls, who don't need the products or operations.

    It shows how young girls get too much influenced by the beauty industry and that many young girls don't like their bodies and want to get bigger boobs or fix their nose

    This ad is beneficial, but in a way the fact that the ad is published by Dove lessens the good it can do. There is a definite issue with the standards and pressure the beauty industry places on young girls, but the fact that Dove, a solid member of the beauty industry, is criticizing it is ironic, because they are trying to influence customers to align with them (the "progressive" brand) rather than their competitors.

    I find that this ad shows the constant pressure women receive from companies and media to have the "perfect appearance". I think that when we see children alongside these ads we become more aware of the consequences these ads cause.

    I find this commercial to be mostly beneficial. The beauty standards that modern advertising sets can be unrealistic and while there is some sensational imagery in the ad, all it is really asking the viewer to do is have a conversation about beauty and body norms. The fact that Dove produced the spot doesn't seem like to much of conflict of interest to me since they're more known for skin care and not beauty products.

    This is beneficial because its showing you what will happen if you don't tell your kids about there bodies before the beauty industry does. It will impact the kids to get plastic surgery and all kinds of surgery they think will make them more beautiful.

    Glittering generalities because it was showing that women was losing weight, and gaining, it till instead they started getting liposuction and started changing their selves. So they wont to show the beauty of girls without all that crap.

    I found this commercial to be harmful due to the fact that it is continuing to perpetuate these harmful images to young girls. It may be their intention to fight this cruel fashion and makeup industry, but showing the same images in the magazines and images of women not eating won't help. Young women who already look up to these false idols will see that commercial and be even more convinced they want to be skinny and soft and every other adjective expressed in that commercial. I believe that the fashion industry and makeup industry sponsored this commercial, similar to how tobacco industries have to pay for propaganda against tobacco which only exposes the product to more and more people.

    While I can understand the irony of a beauty company criticizing the beauty industry, I do believe that Dove brings up a good point about how young girls are bombarded with all of these images of how they are "supposed" to look. I think the ad could be beneficial if it prompts a parent to have real discussions with their children about body image and self-esteem.

    I think that this add was really beneficial because it highlighted all of the things beauty industries do to girls starting from a young age. And at the end it was really powerful because it was basically saying protect your daughters further change the world will try to make of them.

    I think that this infomercial did I good job of portraying the message. This is unfortunately a relatable experience to many young women across the nation. It demonstrates how young people are so vulnerable and impressionable to the media/fashion industry/societal pressures. This can damage a young persons self esteem. I think the way they did it was very impactful. I can definitely see how this attacks the fashion industry/the people who give into that culture.

    This is beneficial because it is reinforcing how unhealthy beauty culture today is, but I don't think a bar of soap will necessarily fix that.

    I think this is a beneficial piece of propaganda because it shows women that they don't need all these beauty products to be beautiful. It promotes a greater self esteem, especially in younger woman. I wouldn't rank it as completely beneficial because it is harmful to many beauty companies.

    I thought this video was very beneficial because it is raising awareness about the negativity of the beauty industry. Women and girls should know that beauty is not all on the outside, and that we all don't need to look perfect and change our bodies for society. We should embrace our natural beauty and not feel the need to look like the supermodels we see in magazines. My rating was similar to others. Half the people chose beneficial I think because it benefits young girls before they are introduced to this society of "being thin and pretty". This was probably my favorite because it is a type of propaganda that is true and relatable.

    It might have been beneficial to Unilever at the time because it built goodwill for Dove by trying to set the brand apart from all the noise in the health and beauty industry. However, discerning media consumers will see through the ploy and immediately recognize the irony of the fact that Unilever also has brands such as Axe, which largely have been marketed around sex. Also, this was in 2007, and since then, I haven't heard anything about the Dove Self-Esteem Fund. Where is it now, and what has the "fund" accomplished? A web search shows that it still exists under the name "Dove Self-Esteem Project," but it doesn't seem to be well touted outside of its web presence.

    I think that this commercial is beneficial to society. It promotes self-esteem to all especially women and girls who feel a lot of pressure in that area. Although, I don't see how this benefits Dove? Are they trying to say "wash away the pressure with our soap" or what? So overall, good message, but vague connection?

    I believe the video is mostly beneficial as it highlights the negative effects the media and beauty industry have on girls. Although, it is interesting how a beauty company is attacking its opponents as it uses soap to also promote their product for the best skin.
