More rational appeal comes below that in smaller print that reads, “OUR FIRST CLINICALLY TESTED HAIR CARE SYSTEM FOR FINE, THIN HAIR.” The audience reads this and feels better about the products because it was tested, so it must work right?

In the 21st Century, we are continuously bombarded with countless advertisement. These modern ads, however, differ from our grandparents’ ads that were crystal and to the point.

When people envision what television is today it is quite simple: a large screen with HD quality and hundreds of channels which are easy to access. Unbelievably there was a time where television was not like that, where quality was not all that mattered, where viewers only had a certain amount of channels to access. Welcome to Maria Paulercio’s television era, the 1950s. Television has transformed dramatically since the 1950’s from the look to what was produced and put on the air. It had an…

I am writing to applaud you regarding your article “Words Triumph Over Images”. So many people today go straight to the tv to get their news and current events. We live in a world where we believe everything we see on tv, even though the stories are often not true and provide a shock factor. Tv can be much more entertaining than reading it in the newspaper or hearing it on the radio, however many tv stations and journalists just want people to watch so they will say things that get the attention…
