Comparing Personal Advertisements For this assignment, you will compare and contrast the content of personal ads between two different cultures. Personal ads are short descriptions about a person written for the purpose of finding a romantic partner. In your evaluation of the three ads, you will consider the following questions: • What are the similarities? • What are the differences? • What does the content indicate about values within each culture? Culture #1 The two ads below were placed in the San Francisco Chronicle, a typical general daily newspaper appearing in a large, metropolitan city: 28 SWM, 6’1”, 160 lbs. Handsome, artistic, ambitious, seeks attractive WF, 24-29, for friendship, romance, and permanent partnership. Very attractive, independent SWF, 29, 5’6” 110 lbs., love fine dining, the theater, gardening and quite evenings at home. In search of handsome SWM 28-34 with similar interests. Culture #2 These second two ads were placed on the same day in the India Tribune, a California newspaper with a readership of primarily immigrant families from India: Gujarati Vaishnav parents invite correspondence from never married Gujarati well settled, preferably green card holder from respectable family for green card holder daughter 29 years, 5’4”, good looking, doing CPA. Gujarati Brahmin family invites correspondence from a well cultured, beautiful Gujarati girl for 29 years, 5”8”, 145 lbs. Handsome looking, well settled boy. Compare and contrast the content of the ads between the two newspapers. What are the similarities? What are the differences?
