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.
It is always important to respect our elders and to listen to the wisdom they have gained along the way. This is all the more true when the subject in question has passed (or is near to) the century mark. And it is even more crucial you heed the advice of the elderly when

The spot celebrates the Dodge brand that dates back to 1914 and is filled with advice from people as old, or older than the brand itself. Among the pearls of wisdom: "live fast" and "never ever forget where you came from." The spot ends with the conclusion: "You learn a lot in 100 years. Here's to the next 100." Dodge may be considered many things, safe, practical, eco-friendly perhaps, but as the most popular car brand in America now has 100 years old wisdom to be better and faster. As I Watched the commercial over and over again -as Reginald Gooch, Connie Sawyer and others share their wisdom with us. In the more than 100 years they have lived, they learned to live for the moment, put the pedal to the metal and never forget where they came from. These people, with the help of Dodge, teach us what it takes to live at your

    The Dallas Cowboys finished last year season with a 12-4 record. Almost coming out of Training Camp without any major injuries to a key player’s defensive back Orlando Scandrick tore his ACL/MCL last week. Scandrick is out for the season. Even though losing Scandrick is tough I still believe the Cowboys will be fine because they have depth at the defensive back position, and upgrading the pass rush which the defensive backs won’t have to cover wide-receivers for so long. With the additions of Greg Hardy, Byron Jones, Randy Gregory, Corey White, DeMarcus Lawrence developing his body into becoming a force at the left end, defensive position, and Tyrone Crawford is looking to have a Pro Bowl Caliber year the Cowboys finally have depth at the defensive…

    Henry David Thoreau’s point of view on the elderly, based on a passage from Walden, is almost completely false. To say that the elderly have no worthy advice to give the young is absurd. While younger generations will always advance themselves further in technology and life, they cannot do this without the help of their seniors.…

    In today’s society, I see the lack of the younger generation not showing or giving older adults the respect that they deserve. When I was growing up, it was mandatory to show courteous, dignity and respect to those who were older. I have a problem with all of the cases where I have seen a totally different attitude from the younger generation than how I was raised. This may be due to miscommunication with older adults in today’s society. If you are among those that think this shoe may fit, wear it and know that one day you will become like that. In communicating with older adults, the younger generation should be aware of the person’s health issues, their environment, being on medications or just in the need for companionship are effective ways in helping to communicate with the older adult.…

    Ageism In Social Work

    An example of ageism that I witnessed during a visit to the oncologist’s office shortly after my 75-year-old father-in-law was diagnosed with lung cancer. It happened when the physician was explaining the diagnosis and treatment options available at the time, 5 years ago. The physician offered the explanation that at 75 years of age, surely a good life had been lived, and that he should consider the quality vs. the quantity of life before embarking on a treatment plan, despite the fact that my father-in-law was otherwise an active and healthy man. Needless to say, chemotherapy treatment was completed, and despite his age, still healthy and very active, this year we celebrated his 80th birthday.…

    Every time I watch the Superbowl, I find myself (under the interrogative look of my friends) bitching about the effectiveness of “xyz” commercial that somehow succeeded in producing laughter among the audience. Then I start explaining that too often the joke becomes bigger than the brand and when it does, chances are you will most likely remember the punch line than the advertiser. If you just invested $2.6 million for a 30 sec. and everybody misses the point, it’s a huge waste of money.…

    “Massive Exposure, Minimal Impact: Doubts About Super Bowl Ad Effectiveness” is an article written by Greg Sterling. This article discusses the negative effects of Super Bowl Ads. The chance to have an advertisement spot during the Super Bowl is something that can be very beneficial for a company. This opportunity is also a very expensive one. According to the article, “Super Bowl advertisements grants major exposure globally” (Sterling 1). The article also addresses the “division between viewer entertainment, and buying patterns. There is a wide gap between the two. This is an example of the negative effects of Super Bowl Ads. Sterling also talks about a survey done by Genesis Media. The survey found that “a vast majority of the participants…

    Seniors often feel like they aren’t listened to by the younger generation. As explained here, a young inexperienced worker is being advised by an older, but more experienced worker on how to work with heavy machinery on the worksite but he ignorantly dismissed his advise. 10 minutes later he came back to him and said to him, “will you teach me how to work with heavy machinery?”…

    They are seen by many people as being feeble in mind and body and as economic burdens on society, and they are labeled such as “geezers”. Even though the average American has a lifespan of 76.5 years and those who reach the age of sixty-five can expect to live another eighteen years it is often believed that they have little to contribute once they reach their sixties. However, this stereotype exists not just in the United States, but in other nations as well. At one time, American attitudes toward the elderly were more positive. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the aging were respected because they helped transmit wisdom and tradition to the younger generations. They were given the best seats in church, and instructed youth on how to behave toward their elders. One reason that the aged garnered this respect was because there were so few of them in colonial society.…

    It is fact that the younger generation has to take heed of their seniors’ advices, under the basis that their seniors are more experience than they are. However, abusing one’s seniority to dominate over others is a violation of not only common sense, but human right. There may be times when the younger crowd does not have a say when adults are in the picture; they can’t voice out their opinion and express their feelings about a certain subject. I personally find this concept outdated and rather inhumane; everybody regardless of age or gender should have the right to voice out their ideas within the context of the law and morality. To ignore and dismiss a person purely because of the age difference is an unfair thing to do, and it might even hurt their self-esteem in the future.…

    Firstly, in education, for a long time, people have believed that young people were taught by their old generation because they have much more knowledge, which is from their experience day after day. However, today is different from the past. In some aspects, old people maynot know as much as younger people. A good example of this case is my uncle, Dr.He. He is a doctor of National Academy of Public Administration in Ho Chi Minh City. He is teaching classes which include government officials, who are older than him. Although my uncle is younger, they still respect him and learn from him lots of things.…

    Whether we want to or not, we all remember our first cars. Small, slow, clunky, and sometimes a little rusty, they usually weren’t something impressive. Transporting us to work, school, and home again and providing a level of freedom that we had never enjoyed before, they were necessary in our everyday lives. For that, we all retain fond memories; however, we all acknowledge that, when given the choice, we would have chosen to drive the coolest car on the market, especially when we have people to impress. Chevrolet’s “Boy Meets Impala” commercial of 1958 plays on this scenario, featuring strong pathos, connection to a specific audience, vital contextual ties, and persuasive content meant to encourage families to purchase the Impala convertible.…
