Adia Advertisements

Decent Essays
The issue focused on the Adia advertisement was initially anti-racism awareness, therefore, the purpose was to shed light on how people of color are still demanded to allow their normalcy to be what is preferred, which is being as replica to Caucasians as possible. That same ideology was used against the company to give the perception that it is favored more if who you really are is not shown but who you should be. Aida’s tagline “there are times you wish you were a were a temp”, is an attempt to bring consciousness to the vile discrimination and/or prejudicialness often faced in the workplace that make employees rather not work or suffer in silence. The tagline and the original quote, “I just love my boss’s racist jokes, some of them are funny”,

    President Bush used many advertising tactics throughout the 1988 election to defeat his opponent Dukakis in the primaries. The primary reason Bush won was because the way he advertised, it is said in chapter 69 that the negative things stay in the voters head rather than the positive things that don't put much of a damper in their brains. Horton was on the headlines with anything that came with the presidential race, Horton was a African American male that was let out of prison on weekend passes from Dukasis when he committed multiple more murders and rapes which put a real damper on Dukasis election running. This really hurt Dukasis because when they see these things they see that he let out hundreds of felon inmates and also many escaped…

The films, Miss Representation, Killing Us Softly 4, and Tough Guise 2 really thoroughly discussed the problems and effects of advertisements for both men and women. Advertisements can portray women as sexual objects with ideals of beauty, and men as powerful.…

    According to Etizen (2012), the quality of the portrayals of Blacks, Latinos, and Asian Americans in multiracial commercials more times than not shows that people of color in minor roles. Again, white people are the dominant figures and their superiority is highlighted in the simplest of commercials. The message is similar and clear cut to blacks and minorities, you do not belong in commercials nor are you capable of a leading role. This once again shows black boys and minorities that they are inferior to whites and they have no place in the world of…

    New vehicles are expensive by virtually anyone’s standards. Due to this, auto manufacturers must use very effective advertisements in order to persuade the consumer to spend this large amount of money on their product. The “still plays with trucks” ad shows a beautiful new Chevy truck on the edge of a cornfield, with the words, “Some of us grew up playing with tractors and trucks, the lucky ones still do,” proudly displayed above the truck. General Motors, an automobile manufacturer primarily in North America, most likely had an intended audience of hard working people, particularly farmers to grab the attention of with the “Still plays with trucks” ad. The main reason that an ad like this is effective is because the majority of people see hard work as a good thing.…

    While zoning out to our favorite late night television program, we notice a familiar commercial; with the sad, neglected, and abused animals. As much as we try to show no sympathy our heartstrings pull in every direction. However, this advertisement does not want us to feel sympathy, they want us to donate. In fact, they lead us to believe our small donation will make a lasting difference in this animal’s life. Surely, by the end of this advertisement we fight the urge to cry, by giving the ASPCA $18 a month.…

    Upon skimming the later essays of, “Signs of Life in the USA” by Jack Solomon and Sonia Maasik, I felt especially perplexed by what I read on pages 248-249 on the first paragraph of the essay, “Advertising Does Not Stand Alone” by Julia B. Corbett. After deep consideration, I ultimately determined that this portion of the essay begins by explaining how nothing in society can have power without working for the benefit of other institutions as well as its own. The writing goes on to explain that advertising doesn’t exist on its own, but instead is tied to a wide range of other institutions. This paragraph then concludes with the idea that advertising will forever remain powerful and influential because of its incredibly widespread existence. In terms of the entire essay, I feel that this opening paragraph works to establish a lot of background for what the…

    When a phone company puts out an advertisement, their main goal is to promote a message to prevent such tragic events from occurring in society. There are many advertisements trying to grab the audience’s attention to make a difference. In this advertisement, AT&T, uses a real life situation to show the audience how risky it is to use your phone while driving. Since AT&T is a major phone seller, they take advantage of that to reduce the number of accidents in a majority of people to make sure that the products that they sell aren’t a major cause in deaths. I believe that this advertisement is very effective, because not only does it provide a message to the audience, but it may save many lives as well.…

    Advertisements as a Genre Commercial advertisement is a genre directed to all people. Although all commercials fall under the same genre, there are many different techniques the author can take, depending on the purpose of the commercial and the audience that the author wants to reach. For example, an advertiser can take the celebrity approach and have a celebrity appearance in the commercial. This shows the audience that if the company is able to have someone famous represent them, they must be legitimate. Also, it allows people to think they can have the perfect life, just like their favorite role model.…
