Writing a persuasive essay can be done in various ways. In Libby Hill’s essay “Calvin and Hobbes: The Voice of the Lonely Child”, she uses methods such as emotional appeal and testimony to connect to her readers. In Melissa Rubin’s essay, “Advertisements R Us”, she uses a very different approach as to how she persuades her reader. Rubin concentrates on logical appeal and historical facts to prove her claims. Both of these essays present reasonable arguments in different techniques as to what their claims are, how they display their evidence, and how they present the evidence to their readers, but Rubin’s essay is more persuasive because she presents a logical approach to argue her evidence.…
There are many ways to be persuaded in the industry of advertisement. You can find many different medias for advertisements everywhere, such as newspapers, web pages, magazines, television, and radios. Many television ads have a plot in them to attract the audience to buy whatever they are selling and they use the rhetorical appeals to do so-- pathos, logos, and ethos. Using these rhetoric appeals will help persuade one way or the other of someone’s thinking. For example, the Old Spice Invisible Sport Spray is trying to reach out towards the men audience by having men-biased sport going on during the ad.…
In lesson three Miller discusses how ad are, essentially, a platform to show off their technology (147). Miller states, “It is their mystique of high technology that finally makes those ads and goods alike appear so very powerful…the ads on Channel One routinely try to wow their audience with brisk bits of pseudo-scientific hooey, along with many clever mock-explanatory visuals” (147). The use of technology to prove what is fact is very misleading, yet adolescents almost exclusively believe the things that have these explanations. Mixing fact with fiction is misleading as the viewers often do not know when the facts have stopped. In lesson six Miller explains this.…
Advertisements can be found all over the city no matter where you look. They can be presented by television commercials, print ads on billboards, Internet websites, and even the radio. The reasoning behind these ads is to persuade and argue why their product is more important than others. Sometimes these arguments can be used to persuade certain ideas that people think are right or wrong, and cause an argument socially, politically, or even religiously. Imagine this, it’s 1 a.m. and rearing to the end of the night with you and your friends.…
The author’s purpose is to persuade the audience into boycotting rules and guidelines for advertisers in order to make advertisements more honest. In agreement with the author, false advertising is highly unethical and tricks consumers by using celebrities and makes them think the product is wonderful.

Throughout the book, we have discussed the various purposes of persuasion, from how we see it in our day-to-day haggling, to the television commercials we see every day. When dealing with such a powerful tool, many ethical issues arise. In many cases, my opinion towards persuasion is not fully aligned with Perloff's, but for the most part, we agree on a few things. His definition of persuasion for example (Perloff, 2014), persuasion is a powerful tool—one that has strong effects on society, and one that's used by companies to raise profits. In my previous journal entry, I have brought up how it is difficult to differentiate persuasion as a tool or weapon.…

The average American child sees over 100 advertisements a day, as the American Psychological Association claims. It seems like an outrageous quantity, but it is quite true if thought about. A child sees advertisements on television, computers, cell phones and sometimes even in the classroom or in schools, the only place that they are supposed to be free from the outside world. Advertisers have decided that if they want to strike gold, they need to target young children, especially due to the fact that they greatly influence what their parents spend their money on. It is quite shocking how advertisers use tactic to influence a child’s mind by practically brainwashing them with manipulative advertisements that star mascots or use toys or other…
Not every audience member will take what is said as complete truth. In turn the effectiveness of the persuasion could ultimately fail. I say this because of the advancement in technology. If the listener is not sure what to do in a situation they may look to the internet to find out what others in similar situations have done. Or maybe there needs more convincing because the beliefs that the listener previously had where been embedded.…
From watching the video you learned how much advertising is integrated into our everyday lives. It has come to a point that we do not even think twice about it. Another quote from the film I found interesting was “The moment they stop trying to persuade us we forget about them (The Persuaders)”. This is a great example of why there…

Guilty Not Guilty Found in the November 2017 issue of InStyle magazine, Gucci Guilty, by Gucci, sells the basic eurocentric sex appeal to women if you buy this perfume. The advertisers use various visual techniques to suggest that it’s okay to bide into your deepest desire and note feel guilty about doing it. This appeal targets women who want a more entertaining sex life. Based where I found this ad, this magazine is often read by 25 years old and above which makes the ad semi-effective. Based on Jack Solomon’s Master of Desire we see how American Advertising uses ample ways to persuade the consumer to buy the product they are trying to sell.…
Advertising is what makes up society today. It can be found on a billboard on the interstate or on someone’s t-shirt they are wearing to class. Today people are so accustom to seeing advertisements that sometimes they overlook what they are really looking at. Therefore, the viewer’s eyes can be fooled when looking at the advertisement or even persuaded to purchase such an item.…
Persuading is a major component to advertisements, and one could say that companies get their persuasion techniques from a famous philosopher named Aristotle. Aristotle has three techniques for persuasion: Logos, Pathos, and Ethos. Companies use these strategies to support their primary message – what Aristotle would call “Enthymeme.” The short 17-second skit commercial advertisement…
