Persuasive Techniques
After viewing several commercials and analyzing the persuasive techniques that were used, I found the McDonald's sweet chili sauce commercial to be the best at influencing its target audience. This commercial was made during the time of the Olympics so people don't have to be in the Olympics to eat like the olympians. For example, in the commercial for the sweet chili sauce, the ad uses the technique of testimonial by showing Olympic athletes sitting in their restaurant and enjoying their limited time only sauce. Transfer is also a technique used in this commercial since the commercial has a happy and athletic vibe with people smiling and enjoying the limited time only sauce. One more obvious technique in this commercial was avant-garde

    Effective Persuasion Week Six Assignment

    The author did a magnificent job to persuade my thinking toward health care system in the United States that health care should be considered as a fundamental right to all U.S. citizens. The author’s essay was easy to follow, well constructed, and straight-forward to his topic sentence. Writer had a strong introduction, supportive points, and a conclusion. The author provided enough facts to support his /her argument regarding health insurance should be accepted as basic right for all the U.S. citizens just like education. Health care converges are very expensive that a normal person cannot effort. I like the fact he presented in his/ her writing that even citizens with health insurance will still end up paying out of their pocket. Insurance companies more concerns about their profits than providing health coverage. There is always a waiting list or have to wait in line to see a doctor even if you are covered by insurance. The entire U.S citizens have to stand up and fight for their rights. I also realized that the author did not use any I statements, which means the author is not bias. That is true that having health care system to the U.S. citizens will save many lives and courage the health of all Americans.…

    Persuasive Techniques In Advertising

    In every bandwagon proposal lies a conformist ideal. This type of advertising is deceiving by convincing customers that everyone else is buying a certain item or purchasing from a specific store. The bandwagon technique can be used as a very powerful weapon in advertising. You could either be with the right crowd and use the particular product or you can be left out and not use it. Selling points using this method are common across the globe. Mcdonald's, one of the world’s biggest fast food giants, began using propaganda in their slogan by saying that they had sold to “one million people” in the early 1970’s (Bertagnoli). The company had dominated the western hemisphere and was trying to attract new customers.…

    Lego Persuasive Techniques

    When massive oil giant Shell released plans to start drilling in the Arctic, an environmental protection group, Greenpeace, began lobbying against them on basis of environmental grounds as this plan had the real possibility of severely harming the entire Arctic ecosystem by exacerbating the melting of the ice caps and releasing toxins into the environment that would be difficult to clean (“The Dangers”). Ultimately they won by attacking Shell’s highly-credible and well-liked partner, Lego, in hopes that if Lego would turn against them, so would Lego’s supporters. The advertisement Greenpeace created for this purpose was the emotionally-striking piece, “Everything is Not Awesome,” whose development team was particularly successful in creating an effective advertisement supporting their campaign because of their use of popular music and characters, the irony in the chosen soundtrack compared to its original and the connection to the new theme, and the contrast of colors and shapes throughout each scene.…

    Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is my choice by far compared to our last president. Romney would be my choice for these reasons: his coal support, his Christian ideas for America, and his plan for lowering gas prices for our country. Romney has continually seen what things need to be done and how to do them to make our country strive. President Obama’ s plan has been attempted but not successful in anyway. We are in a bigger debt now than when he came into office. Obama care is okay for the upper and middle class, but if you make between 20 and 35 thousand dollars a year you have to pay for the healthcare some how.…

    What is language? What does it mean to people? Language is sacred to the Navajo people. Throughout Navajo history there are articles and statements that many of the youth don’t know the Navajo language because of the past history. It has not been a major issue in the Navajo Nations eye’s until the recent Presidential candidate, Chris Deschene was denied to run for Navajo Nation President because he could not speak Navajo fluently. Today majority of the Navajo people are not able to speak Navajo, let alone read and/or write it. Have education and economic status become more important than one’s native tongue?

    Persuasive Speech

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
