This is the ad that I focused on in the most in my journal entry. I believe it shows a lot about gender. It doesn't show much about race but mainly I was trying to make a point that men are typically known as the stronger sex.
This is relating to social identity because being a man defines a person and being manly defines a person as well. Playing sports is definitely a manly thing. Men and boys are often made fun of if they are not active or if they do not enjoy playing sports. If guys seeing girls playing sports a lot of the time they are surprised. It is an unfortunate stereotype that being "sporty" is a male thing.
I don't think there is a list of things that describe social identity here. I think it is very clear that it says men are more powerful because they are stronger than women. And the fact that this is called an inspiration advertisement makes it worse because there is nothing inspirational about it.
