colour present is between the colour cream and ivory. In colour advertisement psychology the effect these colours portray is a relaxing, neutral and lulling colour: it has a similar pureness, clarity and softness of the color white, but with a tint of a warmer tone. Ivory shows and portrays the feeling of silence and pleasantness. The color ivory provokes a relaxed tone of pure elegance. Using this color pattern, setting a tone of pleasantness and relaxation in the advertisement gives confidence in Coca Cola when one looks at the image, a more friendly and comforting tone. Until the 1950s, no African American models were advertising Coca Cola, meaning that the Coca Cola advertisements were virtually excluding the African American minority …show more content…
Coca Cola’s advertisers’ whole purpose in advertising is to create a type of confidence between the customer and the advertisement, creating a sort of friendship and feeling of trust. The point of doing so is to convince and persuade the customer into buying Coca Cola, which is a great marketing tactic. But, our society and advertisers do not comply to a universally agreed-upon set of ethics. Creating a bond, for the sole purpose of creating a false friendship in order to persuade and receive what they want could be considered as something morally wrong. “Ethics are the moral principles governing or influencing one’s conduct and is the branch of knowledge concerned with moral principles.” (Theory of Knowledge ) This statement and definition would apply to Coca Cola advertisements who plays with immoral reasoning, since creating a sense of friendship with a customer would be considered immoral as Coca Cola’s sole purpose is to sell. In other words, in nurturing a sense of friendship and bond through its advertising posters, such as in figures a ,b ,c , 4 and 5 Coca Cola is …show more content…
“Ethical persuasion is not propaganda, coercion, or deception. It is the practice of influential communication that respects the autonomy of the audience by presenting truthful and relevant information. It enables audiences to make voluntary, informed, rational and reflective choices.”(Persuasion in Ethics) , It is the advertisements’ purpose, it must use whatever means it can in order to sell. However, in the end, advertisements must tell the truth and not mislead its customers into buying a product which it is
Advertisements are one of many things that Americans cannot get away from. Every American sees an average of 3,000 advertisements a day; whether it’s on the television, radio, while surfing the internet, or while driving around town. Advertisements try to get consumers to buy their products by getting their attention. Most advertisements don’t have anything to do with the product itself. Every company has a different way of getting the public’s attention, but every advertisement has the same goal - to sell the product. Every advertisement tries to appeal to the audience by using ethos, pathos, and logos, while also focusing on who their audience is and the purpose of the ad. An example of this is a Charmin commercial where there is a bear who gets excited when he gets to use the toilet paper because it is so soft.

In this day and age, persuasion can be seen on almost any screen. The average American views thousands of advertisements every week. Most ads are simply pushed out of a person’s mind, but the successful advertisements are the ones that resonate with people. Some forms of ads are very annoying to those who put up with them constantly. Online pop-up ads, for example, are proven to do worse for products and business than no advertising at all! This is because this form of advertising does nothing to convince or persuade the person viewing the ad, and no effort is put into actually put into proving what it’s worth to make a point. Pop-ads make zero use of something known as “rhetorical devices”. In Julius Caesar, Brutus and Mark Antony both try to convey their point of view to a large audience of Roman citizens. One had a better speech than the other since he used “rhetorical devices” more effectively. Logos (logical; what makes sense), Ethos (ethics and morals; portraying similar beliefs and values), and Pathos (emotions; natural feelings that can be counterintuitive to logos) are the rhetorical devices that Aristotle

Currently, Coca-Cola isn't selling its snazzy, aluminum-bottled Coke varieties in retail stores. Rather, they have been introduced thus far in select night clubs and bars, and offered for sale at some special events.
Ethical behavior is significant to the development of persuasion, and important to the behavior of humans. It also influences persuasion by developing the progression of persuasion, and increasing those who are accountable for it. A person’s ethical behavior originates with morals and changes in what way an individual is required to connect to encourage effectively and dependably and finishes with who obligation it is to take responsibility in a persuasive interchange. The significance of our ethical behavior is realized within all our origins as human beings and stands as the groundwork of our different societies. We are directed by our ethical customs in the cultures which we create and live. “The persuader’s determined actions mean more under deontological ethics than under teleological ethics” (Magee, 2014). According to David B. Resnik, J.D., (2011), ethics is defined as standards for behavior
Advertisers all have one goal in common, that is an ad that is catching to a consumer’s attention. In today’s fast paced society there are so many selling products and charities. As I exam the advertisement for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals (ASPCA), I will show how they use the pathos, ethos, and logos – also known as Aristotle’s Theory of Persuasion.
Advertisers often use three types of persuasion to sell their products or get their points across. Also known as the three parts of rhetoric, pathos, logos, and ethos are used to persuade or inform the audience. Pathos is the appeal to emotion, ethos is the appeal to ethics or the ethical thing, and logos is the appeal to logic and reason. These three types of persuasion can be very effective depending on the topic of debate and the audience. Two commercials that use these persuasion devices are Geico Insurance and Chevrolet Company. Car companies often use these rhetorics to persuade the audience to buy their company’s car.
Commercials serve many purposes for their audience. Whether it be to influence someone to purchase a product, or to advertise for a new movie release, commercials serve to persuade someone to do something. Advertisers are able to persuade and extend to a greater audience with the right amount of ethos, logos, and pathos, making the commercial more effective. Commercials are able to persuade the audience to the argument being presented by using pathos to apply to one’s emotions, logos to show evidence, and ethos to show credibility. In the BC SPCA End Animal Cruelty campaign, the commercial featuring Sarah McLachlan and “Angel” uses all three appeals to persuade the audience to support animals in distress and protect them further abuse.
In the end, Coca Cola had a lot more than just making a soft drink and becoming a billion dollar industry, but there was many decisions that they had to make as well and most of them were risky and that is what brought us this company today. Coca Cola's formula is still kept hidden to everyone except two people in the world today even though Pemberton told the formula to many people. Coca Cola also had many challenges along the way, PepsiCo was one of the biggest rivals so not everything can be easy, John Pemberton didn't even know his drink would be worldwide famous! Just because you didn't succeed in your life, it doesn't mean you would be famous afterwards.
Coca-Cola is a well-known and cherished brand name. When people think of this name, memories tend to overflow in their heads. Why? Because, not only does Coke taste great and refresh your own personal memories, it also fills you with memories of the Coca-Cola like "Always Coca-Cola", the antics of the Coke polar bears, and all of the different ads that have represented Coke over the years. Just about every ad you see, as a consumer, will have tons of hidden meanings. Coca-Cola may not always intend to present the same hidden meanings, but will always intend for their audience to see a commercial and hopefully crave a Coke product. I found a Diet Coke ad that really caught my eye in the August issue of Southern Living, a magazine for women. The ad, titled High School Reunion, pictured four Coke bottles in a diagonal line. The first bottle, a new unopened Diet Coke bottle, is pictured at the top left-hand corner of the page. The next two Diet Coke bottles are supposedly being consumed. At the bottom right hand corner of the ad page you see the bottle is empty. This reveals the conversation of a young woman contemplating the plans for her high school reunion. Over all Coca-Cola is believed to put these claims, supports, and warrants in their ads to make their product more appealing to the consumer.
In today’s difficult economy who can afford to spend their hard-earned money carelessly? Americans want good quality and low prices, and businesses that advertise their product make saving money possible. Advertising was created for one reason, so businesses could make known their product (Black, Hashimzade, and Myles). Some consumers may argue that advertising is not informative, but that it is manipulative because some advertisements make false claims. Fortunately, there are regulations and consumer rights that promote truth in advertising. Consumers must embrace their rights to keep advertising the way it is meant to be. Advertising is meant to be informative and not manipulative, and consumers play a great role in promoting truth in advertising.
In 1994, a new form of advertising and getting products and services into the world was discovered: the internet. Online advertising has been growing rapidly. We can see advertisements on almost any webpage we go to. Even if you try to avoid ads, you are bound to find some. This leads us to a crucial part of advertising which is ethics.
audience, the advertising industry is charged with several ethical breeches, which focus on a lack of societal responsibility (Treise 59). Child Advocacy groups and concerned parents, among others, question the ethicality of advertising claims and appeals that are directed towards vulnerable groups in particular, children (Bush 31).
Advertising has been defined as the most powerful, persuasive, and manipulative tool that firms have to control consumers all over the world. It is a form of communication that typically attempts to persuade potential customers to purchase or to consume more of a particular brand of product or service. Its impacts created on the society throughout the years has been amazing, especially in this technology age. Influencing people’s habits, creating false needs, distorting the values and priorities of our society with sexism and feminism, advertising has become a poison snake ready to hunt his prey. However, on the other hand, advertising has had a positive effect as a help of the economy and society.
