Background Questions. In order to lay the foundation of my investigation of how social class is signaled through advertising, relevant background research about the commercial histories and marketing landscapes of Egypt and Lebanon must be discussed, in addition to the general principles of targeted marketing and purchasing behaviors. The questions below guide the investigation I designed from this background research, leading up to the theoretical framework and research questions with which I approached this topic. My intent is for each background question to be adequately addressed throughout Chapters I, II, and III. • Why can Egypt and Lebanon be utilized in an investigation of popular Arabic media’s relationship with socioeconomic class associations? Likewise, why can television and social media video advertisements be utilized to analyze signals that demonstrate this association? • In both Egypt and Lebanon, how strong are the associations between wealth-based social classes and behaviors, attitudes, or patterns around consumption? How did these associations form? • How does advertising, as a means of communication, reflect and/or reinforce a nation’s practiced or perceived cultural sentiments around class? • Based on the marketing and consumption histories of Egypt and Lebanon, what types of ad elements most commonly or recognizably illustrate class inclusivity/resonance with lower and middle classes? At the basis of my research questions and purpose are theoretical frameworks in marketing and sociology that conceptualize an intersection between marketing and social structures. My main inquiry inherently implies that advertising, within the realm of marketing, acts as a reflector and reinforcer for certain elements of a society. There are particular mechanisms in place for advertising to exert this influence, and they began with the evolution of targeted marketing and what is known today as the market orientation. (Pride & Xxxxxxx 2020, 13- 17) These frameworks were paired with the interactionist perspective of social stratification theory, which conceptualizes the way socioeconomic status can affect interactions at the individual level. (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx 2016, 932-937) Together, these frameworks shape the underlying principle of my investigation that advertising’s relationship with society affects the consumption behaviors of different social classes in different ways. Targeted marketing identifies customers within a larger population who are either more or less likely to...
