Question 47 / 200:  Dove products include a long list of soaps, body lotions, deodorants, and hair care items. In their advertising efforts, Dove commercials feature actors who do not look like the typical models we are used to seeing (i.e. skinny, muscular, heavily made-up, and flawless). Instead they use average-looking people who are not actors or models/actors who appear like average-looking people. Why has Dove taken this new approach?
A  It is less expensive to use real people than to cast high-priced models in their commercials.
B  It is important for us to strive to be as perfect as the actors in past commercials. This is
what "real" people look like; Dove is off-base.
C  The concept of our body image has been shaped by the unrealistic images of people portrayed
in commercials. Dove believes we need realistic role models.
D  Our self-esteem is not really affected by the images portrayed in the media. The Dove campaign
is simply an advertising strategy.
E  Dove is copying their competitors' advertising strategies.
