In this
world of media technology, we cannot believe that how strong of the media power
is. It can change the mind of someone, it can definition of someone or
something, it will change or telling the impression of China or Hong Kong to
other countries people etc.
In this
advertising of shampoo example, we usually see that the long hair is a girl in
Hong Kong, and the long hair is so black and so smooth. Therefore, we will have
a concept for the advertising of shampoo that should be a girl to selling the
product, only girl can be the main protagonist of the advertising in our mind gradually.

Dear Man Yee, The discussion of gender representation is fine. Proper examples are used. More details about the cultural construction process of gender would need to be included. For your forthcoming ethnographic interview, you need to talk with a 'real' person for understanding how all these media messages may shape his understanding of himself as a man (or herself as a women). What you need to emphasis is the cultural construction process of gender.
