Powerful Ad Campaign By Dove Shows That Women Can ‘Choose Beautiful’

ADVERTISEMENT

Dove has released a video of an interesting social experiment called #ChooseBeautiful that challenged women around the world to decide to be beautiful and reevaluate their self-image – for the better. In the campaign, women at stations in Sao Paulo, Delhi, Shanghai, San Francisco and London were given the simple choice of entering through a “Beautiful” door or an “Average” door.

Women make thousands of choices each day — related to their careers, their families, and, let’s not forget, themselves,” the company said. “Feeling beautiful is one of those choices that women should feel empowered to make for themselves, every day.” According to their survey, 96% of women wouldn’t use the word “beautiful” to describe themselves, although 80% would use that word to describe something about themselves.

Watch their video to see how women around the world reacted to the experiment, and let us know in the comments – which door would you have chosen?

    There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

    How about a door that should say " I don't give a s**t what you think"

    How we like t see ourselves publicly & privately are two different things. No one wants to be seen as 'vain.' Not a tight social experiment.

    I think you missed the whole point of this - I think this is truly beautiful to see women remind themselves that no matter what - You Are Beautiful.

    Dove is owned by Unilever, who is in the market to sell you their products. And they will use any tricks necessary. Even your own emotions.
