Running head: Stereotypical portrayal in advertisement
Australian history got stereotyped and thus became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Keeping the
same vibes the advertisement welcome the modern times, where they are willing to unite with
New Zealand based on trade of Lamb meat. They agree to the proposal on uniting two
countries over a Lamb meal. Again the use of Lamb, because studies show that Australians
consume the more sheep meat than any other country. Towards the end, the stereotypical
advertisement shows the barbecue in the ocean, where the Australians were dressed in a
better manner than the people were of New Zealanders. Moreover, the Kiwi accent of the
new Zealanders were exaggerated in order to show their indigenous nature. Garry one of the
officials in the advertisement mentions, “As we all know Australia is the greatest country on
Earthright now New Zealand is doing Australia better Australia”, he suggests the
amalgamation to be named as “New Australialand or New Australia”. Therefore there is
repition of the historical supremacy of the Australia, where old Lamb and the beach,
exaggerated kiwi accent are portrayed. These elements shown in the particular advertisemnets
are stereotyped and hence raged controversy in the mass media.
Argument two
In the commercial the Australia are dressed in formal clothes signifying that they are
more civilized than the one with whom they are going crack the deal. The New Zealanders
are portrayed with exaggerated kiwi accents to convey their stereotyped notion of
barbarianism. Thus, it reflect the Australians sense of pride in their culture and their mind-set
towards binary comprehension of cultural patterns. The stereotypical comparison of both
these country also emanates from the historical commonalities, like both of their urban
societies where created by the British. Twenty percent of both the countries are migrants and
thirdly they are in proximately position and are located in the same part of the world.
However,with the change of time, advertisement agencies must focus on the target audience
