Faith Shipman Mercedes-Benz or Perfection-Benz? As she came out of the shadows of the dark warehouse she ran toward the item draped with a tarp in the middle of the room. She began ripping off the dusty tarp to reveal the most beautiful car she has ever seen. It gleamed and shined under the dark lights in the warehouse as if it was sent from heaven. It was a Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz uses a multitude of appeals to convince the reader that their cars are perfection. Logos are uses to…

- Bryant, J., Thompson, S. & Finklea, B. W. (2013). Fundamentals of Media Effects (2nd Ed.). Long Grove, IL: Waveland Press. - In Chapter Nineteen, the authors briefly mentioned Social Comparison Theory that was initially proposed by Leon Festinger in 1954. This theory suggests that individuals often evaluate their own thoughts and capabilities by comparing themselves to others in the society, in order to gain certainty in defining their self. Based on this theory, viewers (primarily…

very complex, or it may be very simple. Are we seeking an honest assessment of our self-worth, or are we merely attempting to appease ourselves by showing we are just as good as or better than someone else? According to Festinger’s (1954) social comparison theory, we must first compare ourselves to others in order to appropriately evaluate ourselves, because for many domains and attributes, there is no objective yardstick from which to evaluate ourselves; other people are therefore highly…

1. Jackson, even-numbered Chapter Exercises, pp. 308-310. 2. What is the difference between a randomized ANOVA and a repeated measures ANOVA? What does the term one-way mean with respect to an ANOVA? According to Jackson (2012), a randomized ANOVA is an analysis of variance conducted on data where the participants are randomly assigned to conditions in a between-subjects design (Jackson, 2012, p. 286). A repeated measures ANOVA is an analysis of variance conducted on data where the participants…

Autocorrelation is not expected to be an issue with the model, given that the it is not using time series data, and it can therefore be assumed that there is no autocorrelation present in the model. To make sure that there is no perfect collinearity present in the model, it is recommended to run a collinearity test of the model (see: Exhibit 1.1). If a variable generate a VIF (Variance Inflation Factors) value above 10.0, the model might have a collinearity problem and attempts to correct the…

Cavalli, and Girardin (2008) suggest that comparison mechanisms assist older adults in opposing those views and seeing past those fundamentals of old age. Consequently, basing their views of aging on a more self-perceived attitude. According to Henchoz, et.al. there are “three social process applied by older people in assessing their health” (p. 282). These three process include social comparisons, which constructs its own dichotomous process and temporal comparison. The…

Object Oriented Programming vs Functional Programming Programming paradigms offer a significant number of advantages over programming with no standard structure. Paradigms over the years have evolved into fleshed out procedures with only a handful of disadvantages, still overwhelmingly insignificant to the advantages. Object Oriented Programming (OOP) & Functional Programming (FP) are two of the more developed paradigms that people use, With significant followers in each. There are quite a few…

Advantages of using OOP as compared to using PP. Object oriented programming is the concept where objects that have data files are organized on such a way that procedures and instructions are incorporated into data fields that describe an object and procedures of similar nature which are called methods. These therefore integrate computer programming languages such as JavaScript, Smalltalk, and python, C++, Perl, PHP and Objective-C. Under the object oriented programming, data and codes are given…
