For example: How are products such as toothpaste, cereal, cosmetics, automobiles or cell phones advertised in other countries, compared to the way those same items are promoted in the United States? What can advertising tell us about class, racial and gender divisions within a country? How is America's good life (e.g., Disney World, Bud Light, Beverly Hills, South Beach, designer running shoes, t-shirts and jeans, text-messages, etc.) advertised to international consumers? The course will look beyond the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and explore consumerism in other emerging markets. In addition, the class will travel January 2, 2010 - January 15, 2010 to three major cities within the Dominican Republic and meet with professionals in advertising and public relations.
