With Fogle as Subway’s spokesperson by the end of 2000 Subway’s sales
This Subway billboard’s advertising is modest and straight to the point. A simple gray background supports the foreground to stand out more with the copy “SEX!!” In the midground, the copy reads, “NOW THAT WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, EAT AT SUBWAY.” Also, the yellow and white Subway logo appears at the bottom. Jill Kilbourne preaches, “Nowhere is sex more trivialized than in advertising; it is used to sell everything” (Kilbourne).…
Gross’ Starbucks Dilemma Did you know one great way to start an essay is with a question? Asking the reader a question is a great way to grab their attention. Daniel Gross, The author of “Will Your Recession Be Tall, Grande, or Venti?’’ begins his article with a question. Not only did he start with a question, but he also titled the article as a question. Nonetheless, Gross’ article was centered, informative, with suitable vocabulary, and also keeps the reader engaged.…
In Graham Smith’s “The Subway Grate in The Seven Year Itch: ‘The Staging of an Appearance-As-Disappearance,” he claims that “appearance-as-disappearance” refers to "creating a montage of attraction" by the act of revealing a women's undergarments, which in turn elicits eroticism (Smith 213). The act of “appearance-as-disappearance,” varies from cinema to literature, but either way they coerce sexual desire. In other words, “appearance-as-disappearance” means to make women an object of sexual desire by focusing on certain aspects of their body or clothing, which in turn prompts eroticism. In The Seven Year Itch, Marilyn Monroe’s character is downgraded form human to object of sexual desire for Richard Sherman, because she doesn’t have a name…
In the Chipotle super bowl ad, there is a wave of depressing feelings being portrayed as the ad shows a farmer, who has just started a family, and seems like a nice guy that soon turns into a farmer that begins caging up all of these farm animals and injecting chemicals and other inhumane things into them. Luckily, the farmer comes to a realization towards the end as to what he has done and is able to 'save' the farm animals by undoing all the horrible things he began doing in the beginning. I believe the purpose of this ad is to get its audience to eat at Chipotle or to make their audience remember Chipotle so that when they are hungry, Chipotle is one of the first places they think of. This ads audience is families and people who are opposed…

Elections are vital in maintaining a democratic government, ensuring that the will of the collective people shall be represented by their elected officials. However, under certain forms of government, including that of the United States, individual liberties are protected from governmental legislation. This can create a strange predicament in which the will of the people conflicts with the rights of the individual, thus spurring debate as to which will take precedent. This conflict was the central cause of McDonald v. Chicago, in which laws formed by democratically elected officials were contested on the grounds of civil liberty infringement by individuals in the community. While the McDonald v. Chicago case was being reviewed by the Supreme Court in 2010, the laws in question were implemented approximately 30 years prior.…
In Chicago, Culture was booming everywhere, from class, gender, race and even age. Commercialism never took off with most of the working class. They wanted people to see a world where they own a car and a house and where they can own things now and pay for them later. The working class did not fall for this. During this time the people started to realize it was more important to pay for the things they needed to pay for and save the rest for a later date in banks.…
“Leadership is a complex phenomenon. One thing is clear: leaders are not born into leadership, and you cannot make a leader. Leaders rise to existence by circumstances. Those who show up to the occasion are leaders” (Sweet, 2004). Born during the Great Depression, Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-A is both a Visionary and Ethical Leader.…

The popular fast food chain, McDonald’s, tends to carry a negative connotation to many people, but Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation addresses how fast food has been “a revolutionary force in American life” (3). “Vintage McDonald's,” “New Dad,” “Grandmother and Granddaughter,” “Cha-Cha Slide,” and “Spiderman” are all examples of commercials that McDonald’s uses to show situations that are contradictory to the negative opinions of many. In the commercials McDonald’s wants to show families that they are their “trusted friend” (3). McDonald's accomplishes the “trusted friend” role with the use of ethos, pathos, and logos.…
I never expected working at a fast food restaurant to change my life. When I first applied online, I had a preconceived notion about what my experience at Chipotle would be like. I expected the fast food restaurant to be like any other I had heard about. I would go to work, make food, then go home. In direct contrast, the environment at Chipotle is like nothing I’ve ever experienced, not even in a Christian school.…
Eric Schlosser, the author of Fast Food Nation, used techniques of persuasion through ethos, pathos, and logos and they help him become credible when it comes to uncovering the dark sides of the fast food industry. Schlosser’s audience are the people who eat at fast food establishments and who buy their products without knowing what it takes to serve it. By analyzing the book we can see how the author’s use of rhetoric analysis supports his argument. It not only benefited his purpose, but it also helped the reader understand it and take a stance on his argument. Pathos is an appeal to emotion and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response.…
Starbucks In today’s world, it seems like there is a Starbucks popping up on corners as fast as some of the weeds that use to grow in the same space. I can honestly say, I have never had a Starbucks drink because they are rumored to be expensive and the menu is overwhelming. Even so, the whole Starbucks experience seems to feel familiar because they are everywhere, even in my favorite chain store, Target. I remember when they first became popular, it was the place to meet people or just hang out and use their free Wi-Fi.…
Roadarmel used phrases such as “I refuse to conform to the lifestyle Starbucks advocates” and “college students being utilized as pawns in Starbucks’s renowned success.” These phrases are not neutral at all and could put off some of her readers. I thought that the author’s use of logos was the weakest. She did not have much evidence to back up her stance. Most of the examples for logos in the essay showed the author’s view, but there was not much evidence to back this up.…
