Throughout their commercials, 4-H commonly uses current statistics and logical data (logos) in order to try and entice new members to join their organization. More specifically they will use the data of their past and current achievements in order to further increase their membership numbers. In one of their commercials they claim to be and organization of approximately “7 million youth,” from ages 5 to 18, joining over “60 million alumni” (Youth Solution). That is a lot of members. They also boast that they are recognized and supported by “100+ land grant universities” with a footprint of “nearly 16 thousand clubs over the US” (Oregon 4-H Foundation). However, their most used statistic is that they are an organization “with a 100-year history
The media continues to surround us with various advertisement to persuade us one way or another. Although they might be plain and simple to see, they always have an underlying message behind them. In particular, a great example that displays this is the advertisement “Sense of Community” with Dr. Jay Grossman. “Sense of Community” presents us with a poorly made picture of Dr. Jay Grossman in a dentist office treating a “homeless” patient. Some may assume that this advertisement’s purpose is to exhibit the noble deeds and great qualities that he has as a dentist, however, this is incorrect. In my opinion, according to some evidence that are made visible by the author, what he truly wants the audience to believe is how great being in the
In 2010 the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) came out with a commercial that would shock the advertisement industry. The effectiveness of this commercial is proven, simply by watching the reactions of the commercial’s viewers. For those who have never seen the video it has a very sad and morose tone to it. The commercial begins with showing pictures and videos of suffering animals with the song “Angel” playing in the background. While this is going on the narrator of the commercial (Sarah McLachlen) is softly talking about the suffering and abuse that these unfortunate animals go through. Through many different rhetorical techniques the viewers are many times brought to tears after watching this commercial. When thinking of pieces of Rhetoric that demonstrates the use of pathos, the first thing I think of is this commercial. The sole purpose of this commercial is to emotionally compromise the audience until eventually the viewers will donate money to the cause. This video is so affective at completing this goal because of the way it connects to the viewers, and the way it uses many different methods to attack the viewer’s emotions.
Advertisement is a notable part of our society, it's not only in the uppermost urban neighborhoods but it’s everywhere we turn and look. It is what defines our generation as civilization and no matter what we do we cannot hide from it. In Naomi Klein No Logo she explains “Ads had to inform consumers about the existence of some new invention, then convince them that their lives would be better if they used, for example, cars instead of wagons, telephones instead of mail and electric light instead of oil lamps”(5). And that’s what Gatorade has accomplished by releasing commercials associating with some type of sport. It almost seems like that the corporation of Gatorade is controlling and deciding what we should drink and when we should drink it. If one sees a Gatorade commercial, it’s mostly dealing with a sport or an activity. It portrays to the audience that the men with fancy suits and big bonus checks are correct for their sim...

“Through 4-H kids can learn skills and excel in areas that they can’t in school. All kids are creative. We teach them the basics, provide them with the needed materials and qualified instructors and the kids blossom,” she said.
Belonging: 4-H members are awarded for their participation in activities, earning symbols of belonging as they continue in 4-H (e.g. ribbons, achievement pins).
Any agency that uses children for marketing schemes spend hundreds of billions dollars each year world wide persuading and manipulating consumer’s lifestyles that lead to overindulgence and squandering. Three articles uncover a social problem that advertising companies need to report about. In his research piece “Kid Kustomers” Eric Schlosser considers the reasons for the number of parents that allow their children to consume such harmful foods such as ‘McDonalds’. McDonalds is food that is meant to be fast and not meant to be a regular diet. Advertising exploits children’s needs for the wealth of their enterprise, creating false solutions, covering facts about their food and deceiving children’s insecurities. It contains dissatisfaction that leads to over consumption. Children are particularly vulnerable to this sort of manipulation, American Psychological Association article, “Youth Oriented Advertising” reveals the facts upon the statics on consumers in the food industries. The relationship that encourages young children to adapt towards food marketing schemes, make them more vulnerable to other schemes, such as, advertising towards clothing, toys and cars. Article writer of “The relationship between cartoon trade character recognition and attitude toward product category in young children”, Richard Mizerski, discusses a sample that was given to children ages three to six years old, about how advertising incurs young children that are attracted too certain objects or products on the market.
Jason Tanz in his essay, ““Selling Down: The Marketing of the Hip-Hop Nation,” expresses the idea of how corporations view teenagers as their main source of profit. They target on teenagers because they like hip-hop. According to Tanz hip-hop “since it early days hip-hop was galvanizing its audience around certain kinds of values” (Tanz 93). Now hip-hop is galvanizing its audience to purchases merchandise. Corporation use hip-hop to promote products and make money of the likes of teenagers, who are heavy consumers. Corporations operate based on the consumers’ tastes to make profit out of their products, which arises the issue that companies are using teenagers to make profit.
Corporations utilize language, graphic imagery, emotional overtones, and implied promises not to just sell a product but to sell the viewer a lifestyle. I think most audiences are targeted by the way they look and the way they will respond to certain things. For example, going to NASCAR Speed Way they can be seen as using NASCAR drivers drinking that energy drink and those who go will want to drink it as well. Personally, I have seen how they promote the drinks and everyone seems excited while they’re getting a free sample. After trying the sample, it is more likely that the person will purchase it.
The land of the free, brave and consumerism is what the United States has become today. The marketing industry is exploiting children through advertisement, which is ridiculously unfair to children. We are around advertisement and marketing where ever we go; at times, we don't even notice that we are being targeted to spend our money. As a matter of fact, we live to buy; we need and want things constantly, and it will never stop. The film, Consuming Kids , written by Adriana Barbaro and directed by Jeremy Earp, highlights children as this powerful demographic, with billions of dollars in buying power, but the lack of understanding of marketers’ aggressive strategies. Children are easily influenced and taken advantage of, which is why commercialization of children needs to stop. Commercialization to children leads to problems that parents do not even know are happening such as social, future, and rewired childhood problems. Government regulations need to put a stop to corporations that live, breathe and sell the idea of consumerism to children and instead show that genuine relationships and values are what are important.
The term ethos describes an appeal to credibility or character. They do a great job establishing credibility because the athletes are seen performing with the drink, which in turn, would persuade viewers to believe that if they drink Gatorade that they will perform at the same level. The people in the commercial are able to directly link their greatest successes and failures to Gatorade by making it seem that it was a major part of their success. This helps build the credibility of all of the athletes in the ad because everyone wants to be able to believe that people like these athletes would know most about the energy drinks that fuel them in live games. Since Gatorade is able to build this seemingly credible source because of who vouches for them, they have been able to spread their product across the nation while building their energy drink
In the world of advertising, there are various appeals that can be used to describe one’s advertisement. For example, Snickers commercials are known for incorporating some kind of celebrity such as Betty White or Robin Williams. When considering Reese’s, a large majority of their commercials do not even have a single human-being present in them. When having celebrities in the commercial, it can aid in grabbing the attention of the audience in order to persuade them to make a purchase of that particular product. Another tactic that Snickers uses is the need for affiliation. The need for affiliation plays into the relationships of one’s life, whether it be a friendship, courtship, or just feeling as though you are a part of a larger group in general (Fowles 78). The Snicker’s commercials usually convey someone that is not at their normal standard and in order to fit back into their r...
Corporation often seeks to exploit the malleable minds of the youth for monetary benefit. This sponsorship comes in forms that are borderline brainwashing (or just plain outright brainwashing), such as Exxon’s “educational” videos, which promote the company as an environmentally friendly company, or Hershey promoting their junk food as healthy and “integral” to a daily balanced diet (Source A). Nike’s program on the environment also serves no other purpose than to give the company publicity and imp...

Advertising has had a powerful impact on today’s children. From songs, to logos. to characters, advertisers keep in mind their audiences. Competition is the force which causes advertisers to target children. Children are targeted through the catch phrases. animated characters, and toys in these competitive advertisements.
