ADVERT COMPARISON - Honda Civic and Honda Accord
Honda Civic - In this advert three men (approx. in their thirties) are in a CarPark, one of whom is getting ready to leave in his car (Honda Civic). The other two men (led by elder of the two) interrogate the car owner (in a superior manner) about the car’s additional features, to which the car owner responds by giving a technical description of the cars engine, to the surprise of the two men.
Honda Accord - In this advert four adults (approx. in their thirties – 2 female, 2 male) are sitting down to dinner, during which the subject of the hosts car arises in conversation. It becomes apparent that the choice of car (Honda Accord) was made by the female host, and she justifies her choice through technical description of the car’s engine, to the surprise of the guests.

William Leiss - Social Communication in Advertising
Sex Stereotype - Advertisements portray men + women in specific ways that reflect and reinforce and reflect traditional sex-role stereotypes.
Representation of women
"Advertisement is influential on womens culture" - National organisation for women
It's believed that advertisers aren't keeping up with the changin roles of women in society. They are becoming more powerful yet are being presented as either a 'sex object or a housewife'.
WOmen are more likely to be shown in the home engaged in housework while men are more likely to be shown in empowered, professional roles or at leisure.
