    Advertisements are deceiving; cigarette companies use them to target consumers of different social statuses, race, and ages. The majority of the ads portray an image that makes the consumer believe that if they use their product they will look or be as happy as the person shown in the ad. Yet many ads do not show the side effect that their product can have or the effect it can cause on the consumers health. For example in my ad, it tries to convince young adults to buy Newport cigarettes. The ad targets young adults of all races, making them believe that if they smoke Newport cigarettes they will look as healthy, have a good time, and be cool around their friends and peers when in reality it is not true, therefore this ad is ineffective.…

    This ad is very creative in the message it's attempting to convey. It takes a tobacco companies' advertisements and cleverly uses it to present possible outcomes for smokers, or those that may decide to start smoking. Additionally, it adds subtle additions such as the glasses, which in the original ad suggested a level of coolness for smokers, and the wording of the Surgeon General's message typically attached to a pack of cigarettes. The author uses pathos to induce an emotional reaction, namely fear of cancer, as the overhaul ad suggests. It furthers this reaction with the use of the glasses and Surgeon General's message, suggesting that smoking is not cool, and that smoker's potential is impacted when deciding to smoke.…

    The campaign was broadcasted in many different ways which involved online channels, TV, press, radio and several co-workers to display the campaign messages. The aim of the campaign is to target smokers to alert them of how poisonous and invisible the risks are especially when smoking around children although they may not intend to harm them. On top of that, 80 per cent of cigarettes are invisible, and with this campaign it will allow individuals who smoke to be more alert of how dangerous it could affect an individual’s health making it more visible. Furthermore, the adverts are there to show how children can easily be effected by smoke and how regardless of where their parents may be. For example, a parent smoking in the back garden with the window opened causing the smoke to get back into the house where the children may be.…

    E-cigarettes are a controversial public health concern that is on both sides of the health spectrum; they are viewed as a safer alternative to smoking tobacco, but poses similar health risks. The 2014 article Why e-cigarettes should be banned from minors by Gary A. Emmett supports the belief that e-cigarettes have negative effects on health and should be inaccessible for minors. Although e-cigarettes are publicized as a safer and less addictive alternative to smoking, e-cigarettes are also argued to cause liquid poisoning and contain the addictive stimulant nicotine, and Emmett presents evidence to persuade the audience to control this product. Emmett’s article from the Philly news website was chosen for its representativeness principle, reflecting on his rhetorical output.…

    In today’s time, we come across a vast amount of arguments, and a great majority of these are visual arguments. Whether we are reading a news article, watching a YouTube video, or viewing the latest episode of our favorite TV show, we come across at least one if not all of these visual arguments. As critical readers, and thinkers, we are faced with decisions that we need to make on a daily basis when examining all these arguments. But before simply believing the author’s claims into we must analyze each argument closely, and X-Ray each one to find its strengths and weaknesses, to ensure that we do not fall into a fallacy.

    Trentmann explains that the theoretical debate revolving around consumption has been going on for many decades, but in the last two, a change, or a variation in lens, has occurred (373). Philosophical engagement has been a driving force in the recent consideration of consumerism, and how it relates to modernity and, arguably, its disappearance. Despite the possible disappearance of philosophical factors in consumer culture “the centrality of consumption to modern capitalism and contemporary culture”(Trentmann 373) is still very much thriving. He notes that many thinkers, such as Sombart, Durkheim, and Veblen thought that consumption was a strong force behind modern capitalism and its “dynamism and social structure” (Trentmann 373). As both…
