The one ad that fell upon my eyes, and pulled me enough its way to persuade me to write a paper on is a Tommy Hilfiger Advertisement. This advertisement is a true way to show how much advertisement has become demoralizing, and appealing to the eye. “They sell values, images, and concepts of success and worth, love, and sexuality, popularity

Letter to the Tommy Hilfiger Advertising Manager Dear Tommy Hilfiger Advertising Manager, “Just be you!” I’m sure one experiences a bit of their own nostalgia at the sight of the following phrase; anything from making new friends in preschool to being on a difficult job interview, “just being yourself” has always been said to be the best way to approach any uncomfortable situation.

Now every character goes through many different situations and are faced with different obstacles that they must over come.

In the same manner, when you ignore the majority's methods of speech, you become less accepted for it.
