Constructions of Marriage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 <Background:
The institution of heterosexual marriage is commonly presented in a
normal context in western society. Even though divorce rates are
incredibly high, marriage is touted as a valued if not universal cultural
characteristic. Marriage takes many forms in society, but it is presented
in limited contexts in advertising. The
Ads:
What do these ads suggest to us? Why are other forms of marriage and
relationships not offered in our popular advertising world? Questions:
(1) How is marriage constructed in these ads? What sorts of values are
connected to marriage? (2) Why do marriage ads reflect traditional forms
of marriage (heterosexual forms)? (3) Are there any signs that
non-traditional forms of marriage are being promoted in new ads? >
