The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA) primary goal is to save all animals from cruelty related situations, provide them with medical care and food, help find a loving home for every animal and fight for more laws to be made in order to prevent animal cruelty. The ASPCA uses different ads to try and get people to donate towards this cause. Their Ads are both effective and ineffective in persuading people to donate because it relies heavily on the emotion of guilt. Among these tactics the most common themes are the typical sad, dying dog, the “only 60 cents a day” guilt trip and the overall organization, which serve the purpose of making the audience feel liable for the well being of animals.

In 1974 the Weyenberg Shoe Manufacturing Company released an advertisement that depicted a woman lying naked on the floor behind a shoe, with the words “Keep her where she belongs...” pasted across the top. In March of 2013 musical artist Robin Thicke released a song titled “Blurred Lines,” and, with its catchy beat, it took the nation by storm. However, upon listening to the lyrics several people began to complain about the message of the song, one that perpetuates rape culture. A few days later in March the situation became even worse, when Thicke, along with T.I. and Pharrell, who were originally featured on the track, posted the music video to Youtube. In it, women are shown topless in nude thongs, crawling around on the floor and dancing

Living in this day and age, temptation is everywhere. We, as humans, want what we don 't need and don 't appreciate what we already have in front of us. Advertisements are all around us, on our cell phones, our televisions, billboards on the side of the road, in the newspaper; they are everywhere! With these things tempting us, it is very easy to feel that we need whatever we see on the screen or poster board. There are endless arguments on why advertisements pressure people into buying things they do not need, but I will be elaborating on the technology industry alone. Technology is one of the fastest growing industries in the world, what we could do ten years ago is now magnified by thousands. When thinking of the technology industry, one
Advertisements are located everywhere. No one can go anywhere without seeing at least one advertisement. These ads, as they are called, are an essential part of every type of media. They are placed in television, radio, magazines, and can even be seen on billboards by the roadside. Advertisements allow media to be sold at a cheaper price, and sometimes even free, to the consumer. Advertisers pay media companies to place their ads into the media. Therefore, the media companies make their money off of ads, and the consumer can view this material for a significantly less price than the material would be without the ads. Advertisers’ main purpose is to influence the consumer to purchase their product. This particular ad, located in Sport magazine, attracts the outer-directed emulators. The people that typically fit into this category of consumers are people that buy items to fit in or to impress people. Sometimes ads can be misleading in ways that confuse the consumer to purchase the product for reasons other than the actual product was designed for. Advertisers influence consumers by alluding the consumer into buying this product over a generic product that could perform the same task, directing the advertisement towards a certain audience, and developing the ad where it is visually attractive.
Microsoft is a well-know, huge technology company that has revenue increasing by more than 50%. Their products and software vary from all platforms. For example, they vary from laptops, to video games and consoles, to phones, and even software like Office 365. After doing some research I came to the conclusion that Microsoft struggles with advertising. Their spark on products is not fully there. Some of their competitors have their advertising down. If Microsoft wants to keep growing in revenue, I suggest they invest a certain amount of funds into better marketing tools and advertising skills.
The normal title for the job that I chose is a “Chartered Accountant”. The job of a chartered accountant is to provide accounting and business advice to companies and individuals. Chartered accountant may also provide information to clients on tax planning, personal financial planning, corporate finance, and information technology (Job Description). The major skills required for a chartered accountant are communications skills, computer skills, and listening skills. A chartered accountant needs communication skills, as they need to talk with their clients, and need to be able to effectively tell the client the advice they are giving. A chartered accountant needs to have computer skills, as they are constantly making calculations using a computer and using different programs to display financial information properly to their clients. Finally, a chartered accountant needs to have good listening skills, as they must give proper and full attention to what the client is saying, without interrupting unnecessarily in between (Do You Have it in You to Become a Chartered Accountant?). Personal abilities to have that are beneficial are strong interpersonal skills. This is because chartered accountants always have to communicate and be social with their clients. They are constantly put in a position where they have to share their expertise with companies and clients. So strong interpersonal skills are important so that they can effectively communicate information with their clients. Also, knowledge of computer programs for auditing and financing is a good personal aptitude to have.
