Advertising, media, and beauty standards

Here is a beautiful paper named "A Critique of Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty"

I guess many people have seen Dove beauty ads in the past few years, and if not, you can find them on Youtube.

The author of the paper, Sarah Scott, discusses these ads and their influence on our society in several ways. The question is, are these ads truly ethical. Is their sole purpose to bring more money to the company? Do they really help women?
