From the Paper
"Therefore, the importance assigned to pragmatic meaning of various textual elements does not end the primacy of their semantic meaning (Cook, 1992). Nevertheless, words have a wide range of influential factors involved for their user besides their denotation, which supposedly persists across different contexts, and its pragmatic function, which supposedly varies systematically across contexts. In this regard, Cook adds that, "These aspects of a word are so many and so vast that knowledge of them will vary considerably from user to user" (1992, p. 99). Consequently, all readers will bring some unique qualities to the interpretation of newspaper advertisements that will likely affect their decision whether to purchase a given product or service, but content analysis remains a subjective realm that requires the careful selection of relevant themes and how the results are interpreted to ensure that these factors are taken into account."

Abstract
This paper states that the the main purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of women's image in advertisements' contents as depicted in the most widely circulated Arab women magazines in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and to identify the effect of such contents in formulating the societal image of women. The study also examines how women feel about the presented image of women in advertising. The author points out that, in the UAE, women not only are gaining ground in workforce participation but also are filling positions once held primarily by men; however, this is not always reflected in ads. The paper indicates that the majority of female students felt that the relationship between the woman's image in published advertisements and society's view towards her is a highly positive one. The paper includes the data generated by the survey and several figures, tables and quotations.

From the Paper
"Arab information media have by and large been established on a weak economic base throughout the Middle East. For example, Arab newspapers were introduced when national incomes and populations were small, and the literacy rates were low; as a result, both advertising revenues and mass-circulation sales (the two primary sources of commercial newspaper income elsewhere), were restricted. Even after World War II, as the Arab economies enjoyed a new level of prosperity, advertising remained sufficiently insignificant to most Arab businessmen, and did not appear to represent a viable avenue of revenue-generation in the modest-circulation press, to enable newspaper publishers to generate many advertisements in the first place."

Advertisements for The Times, 2007.
An analysis of how the content and style of advertisements change with the times.

Abstract
This paper discusses the ways in which advertisements represent the culture of the times. It looks at advertisements from as far back as the 18th century and compares their style and content to the types of advertisements that are found in modern times. The paper discusses, briefly, how over time, it was no longer the product, but the advertisement of the product that was selling the item and it gives some examples to illustrate this.
From the Paper
"Some of the first advertisements that ran in the United States were, not surprisingly, for lost slaves. During the 18th century thousands of slaves escaped from their masters in the Southern colonies as seen by the huge number of advertisements in the newspapers. The amount of runaways was not large enough to harm the foundation of slavery. Slave owners took safety measures to prevent the problem from growing too large. In the Southern colonies, for example, an elaborate network of laws was established for the prevention, apprehension and punishment of these slaves. These laws developed concerned a number of different areas concerning fugitives. They were not completely effective, however, as proven by the number of slaves advertised as fugitives."

Abstract
This paper provides a detailed description of three hard- copy advertisements and a justification of which of these ads is the "best" ad. While this paper is an evaluative argument and therefore does not require additional support from outside sources, the writer is asked to justify which of the three advertisements is considered the most effective ad in terms of capturing the attention of the consumer and effectively directing this attention towards the product. Various additional factors, such as the purpose of the product and the relevance of the advertisement, are also of note.

Abstract
In this study, the writer examines cigarette advertisements that are aimed at women. The writer argues that the advertisements represent harmful speech and should not have First Amendment protection.

"The purpose of this research is to examine the proposition that cigarette advertisements aimed towards women are in violation of the First Amendment. The plan of the research will be to show that the ads represent an instance of harmful speech and that as such, they are in direct violation of the First Amendment guarantee to be protected from such speech."

Abstract
This paper discusses the effect that advertisements can have on the outcome of political campaigns and elections and how that influence can have national and international repercussions, especially when the advertisement campaigns present incomplete facts or misrepresent the truth.
From the Paper
"Good ads have a dramatic effect on viewers as they address psychological factors like emotions rather than rational ones and, therefore, their use in political campaigns should be limited. In addition, ads are formed to inform the public about the merits of purchasing a certain product or supporting a certain issue or a political candidate. They should positively inform the viewers of the truth by relying and sticking to the facts. However, according to Robert H. Wozniak in "Walter Dill Scott: the Psychology of Advertising," creating ads that are built around the facts and which talk to the viewers ' rationality, is not really valid advertising. This is because "advertising has as its one function the influencing of the human mind...As it is the human mind that advertising is dealing with, its only scientific basis is psychology" (Scott qtd. in Woznaik). He meant that ads have a direct influence on viewers as they communicate with the human brain directly as a bullet and ads affect the people psychologically not rationally. Ads tell people what they want them to be informed with or even what they don't want to hear but in a way that they can identify with. Accordingly, as Wozniak explains, ads are hurt because the human attention span is short. This is an essential observation regarding the nature of ads because it means that their length does not allow for the publishing of all the truth regarding a product or an issue. Instead, an ad will select facts and leave claims unexplained. The second vital feature regarding successful ads made by Wozniak is that they play on the viewers' emotions."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at six applications in order to compare the First Amendment rights to free speech to the courts' pragmatic approach to First Amendment issues.
From the Paper
"When it comes to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution the courts are often caught between a rock and a hard place. If the courts protect the right of the First Amendment there are sometimes substantial consequences that could have been avoided by suppression. If the court rules to protect the interests of many and rules against freedom of speech then it finds itself in violation of the constitution. It is a balancing system in which the court is constantly weighing the good of all against the nature of the first amendment. It is a battle that will continue as long as we are a nation that abides by the constitution, which also allows us to request court intervention and mediation regarding the amendment."

Abstract
This paper describes that the dramatic differences between the colorful, lush print ads of the 1920s and the more stark, real-life ads of the 1970s are based on the differences in the socio-economic climate of the times and the advancement of women's rights. The author adds that, in the 1970s, the power of advertising was circumscribed by the new regulatory apparatus of the Federal Trade Commission and the National Advertising Review Board. The author believes that exploitation of the beauty of women is evident in all the advertisements of both eras.

From the Paper
"The dramatic change in the role of women is captured in these print ads. Instead of being sweet, submissive and dependent on men, the women of the '70s appear to be strong and independent. The lady in the Hanes pantyhose displays her pantyhose prominently with a manipulative smile on her face. In fact, the male counterpart is cut off from the rest of the ad, leaving her as the undisputed "star" of this ad. The lady in the Berlinetta ad sports a fashionable mannish suit and strikes a playful and "in-control" pose, demonstrating the qualities of the woman in the 70s ."

Abstract
This paper discusses a study conducted by Thomas F. Babor, Dwayne C. Proctor and Ziming Xuan to determine the affects of alcohol advertising on the college student. The paper explains that the background information for the research provided a framework for the study and focused on a history of youth that are vulnerable to advertising related to alcohol. The paper also points out that in the past several years the social consciousness has led many advertisers to include warning messages in their advertising because of the theory that such messages would have an affect on how individuals used the product. The belief was that the messages would lead the individual to stop from drinking excessively or while driving. The paper explains that it was important to the research to determine if factors within the advertising would alter cognitive processing of the material, or whether individual characteristics and past psychosocial attributes would have a greater affect on the message received.

From the Paper
"The four P's of marketing strategy are product, price, place, and promotion. Service products differ from product goods in several respects. Services are intangible and ephemeral and are experienced rather than owned. Customers may in addition be required to visit the service site, in which case they may be asked to participate actively in the process of service creation, delivery, and consumption (Lovelock 312). Place for service products has been much affected by technology so that there is now a variety of means for customers to access some services and participate actively in the process without actually visiting the service site. The placement theme of import today is to offer the customer more choice so that some people can opt for face-to-face contact, choose the telephone, or make use of more impersonal contacts such as the computer or some other mechanism (Love ..."

Abstract
In the 1890s, color lithograph posters became a medium to advertise products to the masses. This paper explores how these posters were made and how they influenced consumers. Specific attention is paid to the changing role of women in the 1890s and how this affected their buying habits.
From the Paper
"In the 1890's, despite a sluggish economy, America was in the midst of a social revolution. More and more companies arose selling products of all kinds to whoever would buy them. Companies selling everything from magazines and books to bicycles found that they had to distinguish themselves from the pack. What better way to do so than to advertise? Taking a lead from the French, poster advertisements flooded the marketplace. While these poster ads represented a product or service, they also represented works of popular art and social commentary. Artists manipulated the ads to target specific groups of people and convince those people to buy into their propaganda. Increasingly, middle and upper class women became the target of companies and ad printers. They had the money and time to view and be persuaded by poster advertisements."
