This week we are talking about formulas, meaning what the formulas are in popular for things such as movies, books, video games, and music. I was really interested in learning about the formula used for commercial and marketing towards women especially.
The portrayal of women as a homemaker, a wife, and a mother was prevalent in magazines and television in the 1950’s. Women were depicted as valuable in the home only; women were valued for their cooking and cleaning skills, and how well they could comfort a child after a scraped knee.
When marketing products or ideas to women today, women are shown as being in the workplace, on the go, and doing it all. Women can be interested in getting the best dishwashing detergent while still having more important goals outside of the home.
Commercials are a great example of how formulas can and do change over generations.
