Yes, for example my school use a uniform that is obligation for all the students, also in other works like constructions is obligation to use helmets and things like that, i think that is effective because is better for the school that al his students looks tidy, also in a constructions is the safety of the men.

In wich other walks of life are dress codes important

 2)I think in all places the dress codes are important, i cant go to a decent party with bad dress because is not for the moment, also i can go to the country side with a very good dress, because in that places they are people that have different clothes, and have a good dress when you go there is not appropiate for the moment...Also in diferent countries are differents clothes, like africa, europe, they are different cultures and differents dress codes.Also the dress codes changes with the weather of the place, in the north pole is totaly different that in Ecuador.

3)What are the dress codes of young people in your countries?
The dress codes in the part of the world that i live depends of your economic situation, if you see a young man that have a'' lower class''and a young man that have a ''high class'' you differ immediately because of his form of pants, t-shirts, and things like that.

4) What do dress codes tell us about a culture?
i think dress codes tell us about a culture of his religion, his form of life, his types of work because for example a man work has totally different clothe than a farmer, or a catolic girl have totally diferent clothe than a musulman woman that have masked al the face, things like that is the most important differences of dress codes in cultures.

5) What prohibitions are there on certain dress codes in your country? Why do these prohibitions exist?
they are puntual things like go with a specific dress to the church or to a funeral, you have to go with appropiate cloth for the moment and also to not be different of all the others persons that are there, more than anything is for respect.

ferrari ad

In google I found same ferrari ads and I choose this one; here the product showed was a car manufactered by ferrari, the "575 maranello".

I think that this ad was directed to a special public or audience, first of all, people that would see this was "cars lover"and  male, from 20 years old to 60-70 maybe, a probable audience for this ad would be high class people of good educational background that wants to represent the money that they have$$; demographic location of this ad is not relevant because of the simple reason that you can found rich people everywhere.

The purpose of this ad is ti give value to the brand, because of the comparison with the sculpture, and appeals to logos persuasive technique because this car is more than a simple car, is a "Historic car", I think that the ad designer choose these techniques because he wants to put the brand in a superior and historic automotive category.

I think that the ad is not much persuasive  because its not trying to do to the audience to buy the car, its trying to puts his brand on a higher segment.

the fonts used in this ad was a little small at the beaginning and much bigger at the end prhase, red and black are used in this ad because of the company colours. 

in this ad, the car and the sculpture was the only two things represented in this ad. this ad is very precise in terms of amount of text, only 3 prhases.

lifestyles and values here in the ad was luxury and pleasure lifestyles. wee need to have the car (product) because we need to have a "historic piece of car"

and finally the key concept was " the car and sculpture, Venus, helenic art.
