We like to be the best, stand out, feel important, different, and advertisers know exactly how to use our emotions against us in order to will us to buy their products. Perfection is an ideal set by oneself, and all the advertiser has to do is tweak a person’s view of perfection, and then offer a method to reach the new height.

While there are thousands of people across the Arab world that either wear the Hijab or enforce the wearing of it, there are, perhaps, an equal number who do not, nor…

is a heavily debated topic under increasing scrutiny. “Here the veil and burqa have again become prominent, playing a significant role in the construction of ‘Western’ identity in Europe” (Khalid 2011).
