Duracelling Commercials: Is It Ethical Or Not?
Thus concludes our reason why this commercial was unethical, now let move on to whether this video was acceptable or not. Some people may thank Duracell for highlighting something that happens across the nation, but taking advantage of the viewers could also hurt them. An example of a person getting hurt emotionally by watching this video would be for, instance if the viewer had a family member in the military that had something horrific happened resulting in death, therefore causing the viewer to not reunite with the family member, therefore to not experience the happiness like when the little girl reunited with the father. So whenever this video who broadcast on the television the viewer would become traumatized by remembering what happened

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Carl's Junior 'All Natural Burger'

    The producers of this commercial knew its target audience and went after it. It had a strong attention getter. Right from the beginning this commercial had my attention and maintained it throughout the entirety of the advertisement. It had strong appeals to pathos, ethos, and logos. This commercial worked for me, but for others I can see how this commercial came up short in getting their attention. For example, my views towards the music choice, the girl, and scenery corresponded well with what I wanted to see, but if you asked my mother about the commercial I’m sure there would be a completely different reaction to the commercial. In fact when I was watching the commercial in class in preparation for writing this analysis the girl who sits behind me watched the commercial over my shoulder and said that she thought the commercial was “ stupid”. It wasn’t until this moment that I realized the importance of pathos, ethos, and logos and how different each person’s appeals truly…

    Rhetorical Analysis On Chevy

    A pathos appeal is clearly being used in this commercial. It starts with a family being concerned about the broken truck and ends with the father doing whatever it takes to repair it. There are emotional pulls when they show the father finding a picture of his father and him as a little boy standing in front…

    Compare Nike's Production Conflict With Catholic Social Teaching

    People don’t buy these products because they care about others, and also have a heart. Another reasoning may be because they were in that position and they certainly wouldn’t like if they were in that position once again, and people who haven’t been in that position wouldn’t like to be. If a human-being likes to see others being hurt, then there is something clearly wrong with that individual.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of State Farm

    State Farm “Following” State Farm provides car and home insurance to a lot of people here in the United States. In fact, they are the largest provider of insurance; almost doubling another popular insurance provider, Allstate. State Farm often runs commercials, spanning many channels on television.

    Analysis of ASPCA's Advertisement

    The most propagandistic part of the commercial I think would be the song, Angel by Sarah McLachlan. ASPCA used this song because it seems like it is directed towards you. Additionally the song plays with your emotions causing you to feel sad for these abused animals. Making you want to donate or rescue an animal. In the song she sings “In the arms of the angel, fly away from here.” The lyrics make you think you could be an angel to save the animal from any harmful situations it was once fighting. It also making you think you could comfort a hurt or an abused animal yourself and make that animal happy and healthy again.…

    Summary Of E-Cigarette Advertising

    The advertising of new products on the market is an excellent way to bring attention and get individuals to purchase them. A new product on the market that has been causing a lot of controversy is the e-cigarette, which is an electronic cigarette that "delivers nicotine to the lungs through a battery-operated vapor" (Fehling). This product in particular, has been the discussion of very prestigious federal industries in the United States. In this article about the "Advertising of E-cigarettes", the author argues that the advertising of these e-cigarettes should not be allowed by providing different sources of evidence which support their argument that e-cigarettes are extremely bad and harmful towards our society. In my opinion, the advertising and distribution of e-cigarettes should not be allowed because of their negative effects towards individuals.…

    Chevy Truck Video Analysis

    I found this advertisement to be very persuasive, even though I don't buy General Motors products. I found myself wanting an old, reliable truck, a truck I could depend on, a truck once owned by my dad. In reviewing this video several times, I find the execution to be spot on. If I were to change anything, it would have been the weather. I think an overcast day, with a light rain would have brought another layer to the emotion, especially at the end, when the family leaves the shop on foot. If it was raining, and the family were under an umbrella, it would have emphasized their commitment to fixing the truck, no matter how they might be…

    The commercial starts and we see an African American male knocking on a door with flowers, an African American female comes to the door and takes the flowers.

    Descriptive Essay: The Real Life Pac-Man

    Commercials are designed to attract people to a certain product that they are planning to sale. It has been this way for years and over time both companies and people have only increased their knowledge on what people want. There are many jobs involving these “selling skills.” I could never understand how a person is successful making others feel that they need to buy certain products, but it is capable in this society.…

    Rhetorical Strategy Commercial Essay

    This commercial demonstrates dedication, giving up one’s own time to better off a friend that they care about. In the video, nine normal men play wheelchair basketball with their friend who is disabled and cannot enjoy the same experiences they are able to. This is very powerful because you are able to extract the fact that there is not a shot these men would be playing like this if their other friend did not have the ability to walk. Using the rhetoric concept of pathos, the audience is drawn into a state of inspiration and feels what the disabled character has to go through. When they stop playing, the other nine men stand holding the door open for their friend and exit the gym. This makes the audience feel the entitlement of respect for the players who give up their legs just to make their buddy feel included. The disabled man is filled with joy that he has a group of friends who are willing to do anything to make him feel a part of something. This is shown by his positive body language and reactions. The end of the commercial is…

    Super Bowl Argument Analysis

    There were numerous of insanely and outlandish commercials during the Super Bowl of 2015. Most of the commercials would have to advertise sex, kids, animals, or randomness in order to appeal audience. Then there are ads like the Dodge commercials. It sends a message that needs to be sent - respect wisdom. Social media can be cruel and demeaning especially to elderly people. The Dodge commercial that aired during the 2015 Super Bowl started off pretty pleasant, but that took a major turn quickly! While the elderly featured in the clip were giving a valuable advice to the audience, they then become a little aggressive. For their Super Bowl XLIX commercial, Dodge decided to recruit some pretty awesome centenarians to drop some wisdom on all of our collective heads. Why? Because Dodge is 100 years old too.…

    That commercial comes on when the dog is sad and the sad music starts. Then someone with a soft voice says something like” Help!!” Then they finally send a message saying donate and everybody does because they feel bad for the dog. Have you ever seen many of these commercials for the wildlife in Texas? There aren’t that many. They need these laws the same as dogs and cats. The wildlife in Texas need cruelty laws by: adding wildlife to the ASPCA and under federal laws, petitioning and adding barriers along the road; this will lead to less roadkill, affliction on wildlife and the people who treat them inhumanely will actually be committing a crime.…

    Extra Gum Commercial Analysis

    The commercial that makes you laugh is good, but the commercial that hits you right in the “feels” is the one that you remember. Everyone can easily recognize the sad music that plays during the animal cruelty commercial. The hurting, sad eyes of the puppies and kitties stare into your soul and scratch your heart. Every time you hear that song, you think of those poor animals struggling; however, the emotional connection you make with a commercial (or the brand itself) is not limited to sadness. It may simply remind you of an instance in your life. In its first commercial, Extra Gum plays the emotion card. “Origami” tell us a story without even saying a word. Extra Gum’s commercial about a dad, his daughter, and origami cranes successfully creates an emotional connection between the viewer and the brand; it grabs…
