It’s an election year, meaning a new leader enters the White House and change will begin. The Presidential candidates differentiate; some are wise with experience and others have no experience whatsoever. Advertisements of campaigns describe how the presidential candidate will help America, economically and socially. However, some advertisements will talk negatively of other candidates to make them switch sides. In the media today, many Americans are hearing about Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump as the main candidates running for president. Through the Media we learn about their campaigns and even find out flaws about the Presidential candidates. Media advertisements can either help the candidate exponentially or impact them negatively.

In the political cartoon it’s almost like comparing him to a toddler, he doesn’t get what he wants therefore, he throws a tantrum. He doesn’t win Iowa Caucus and so, he blames the people of their lack of intellect. Donald Trump uses hasty generalization fallacy meaning he generalizes based on too little evidence or little consideration. For example, he believes that in order to get Americans to vote for him, he needs to blame others for American’s economic debt, such as Mexicans and Muslims. He wants people to fear others and turn to him to “Make America Great Again!” as his slogan states. In trying to find a political cartoon, most were about Donald Trump and his negative and outrageous views, for instance building the wall around Mexico and making them pay for it. It’s absurd, how could Mexico possibly pay for it when they are a developing country? Donald Trump 's target audience is white middle-income males; he insults women, insults Mexicans, wants to change Same-Sex Marriage Law, and wants a temporary ban on Muslims. He targets individuals who are tired of the way they live, they want a drastic change and so, the people want to blame their own downfalls on others and Donald Trump is influencing them saying it’s the Mexicans faults, it’s the Muslims faults.

Bernie uses ethos in his speeches by describing his walk with MLK and being arrested for protesting segregation, showing people that he hasn’t changed his viewpoints on equal rights. On the other hand, Donald Trump uses ethos by showing how he made an empire with his own money and he won’t be using other people’s money for his campaign. Bernie Sanders uses logos to show reason why we should tax the rich in order to gain more money to help with universal health care and free college, stating in his campaign ad “American Horizon”. Donald Trump uses logos by stating reasons why illegal immigrants are a problem in our economy and advising a plan to build a wall to keep them from coming to America, as Dana Summers political cartoon describes. However, that’s how far they are similar. In Bernie Sanders’ advertisement “American Horizon” he talks about his campaign and what he plans to accomplish with his campaign. However, throughout the media Donald Trump is always being criticized because of his campaign and his racial slurs as in Dana Summers political cartoon describes. The political cartoon shows how racist and temperamental, he is; showing how ineffective, he would be if elected president. While using a political candidates own ad, the presidential candidate gets to view and add in comments before
This article is all about the effects of advertisements. There are many things that advertisements have affected and people don’t even realize it. One main key thing that this article talks about is targeting the vulnerable
Clinton uses logos to support her ideas on how to run the country. Logos is the appeal of using logic to assist a statement
In his speech, Trump used ethos, logos, and pathos, to try and further connect to the audience. Ethos is the use of reputation, or experience as a way of convincing people to trust in what the speaker is saying based on their credibility. This seems to be Trump’s favorite kind of proof as he uses it heavily over the others. Pathos is the use of
It is very common in the United States’ political sphere to rely heavily on T.V. commercials during election season; this is after all the most effective way to spread a message to millions of voters in order to gain their support. The presidential election of 2008 was not the exception; candidates and interest groups spent $2.6 billion on advertising that year, from which $2 billion was used exclusively for broadcast television (Seelye 2008). Although the effectiveness of these advertisements is relatively small compared to the money spent on them (Liasson 2012), it is important for American voters to think critically about the information and arguments presented by these ads. An analysis of the rhetoric in four of the political campaign commercials of the 2008 presidential election reveals the different informal fallacies utilized to gain support for one of the candidates or misguide the public about the opposing candidate. Presidential candidate Barack Obama, who belongs to the Democratic Party, broadcast the first commercial we will analyze, the title is “Seven” referring to the seven houses his opponent John McCain owns; Barack Obama tries to engage pathos which refers to the audience of the message (Ramage et Al. 2012) utilizing a form of fallacy known as “appeal to pity”, this fallacy tries to “appeal to the audience’s sympathetic feelings in order to support a claim that should be decided on more relevant or objective grounds” (Ramage et al.
Using the rhetorical analysis method, Bernie Sanders and Martin Luther King used the three elements which are ethos, pathos, and logos in their speeches. To start off with Bernie Sanders, he successfully uses ethos to begin with his self as someone who is credible and should be listen to. He gives a history of his mom and dad going back down to his childhood and making it clear that he did not grow up rich or had lots of freedom, instead
In theory, political campaigns are the most important culmination of the democratic debate in American politics. In practice, however, the media shrouds society’s ability to engage in a democratic debate with unenlightening campaign coverage. Because of this, it is difficult—if not impossible—to have educated political discourse in which the whole, factual truth is on display. After years of only seeing the drama of presidential campaigns, the American public has become a misinformed people.
The Presidential election followed a political campaign in which the weapons of choice were partisan criticism and attack ads rather than details that illuminate the character of the candidates. What troubled me about these partisan attacks is that reporters and columnists are governed by the tides of events tending to be too laudatory about candidates on the way up and too critical of politicians on the way down. For example; the coverage of Howard Dean's presidential race.
“The beauty of me is that I am very rich” according to Donald Trump. His ignorance has lead him to do things that he shouldn’t being doing or has done. In the past few months he has been racist man that would insult people that are from a different race. When Trump started running for president he would insult and bully everybody in general not knowing the people’s stories. He made people seem like they are poor and have nothing to live for, Trump’s inability to see past his greed. He wants to separate the United States and wants people to think he is the best of the best; Trump should not be President.
Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are big time names in the United States of America, so when watching the commercial, neither of the pair are very big strangers to the viewer. The author of the commercial, Hillary Clinton, has a great amount of experience, in a government setting, under her belt. Not only is she married to Bill Clinton, a former US president, but she is also currently the Secretary of State and was part of the US Senate. With that experience in the government, she is considered a credible source, in terms of what a presidential candidate should act and sound like. Although she is presenting information on her opponent, which may make this advertisement seem biased and make Mrs. Clinton seem like an unreliable source, she clearly presents facts by displaying the video footage. With that being said, I believe Hillary Clinton to be a completely credible author, since she has the proof to present herself as such. The ethos displayed in the commercial, or simply by hearing Hillary Clinton’s name and thinking of her qualifications, gives the viewer a solid idea of what type of author they are receiving a new point of view

On January 20th, 2017, the United States of America had elected our 45th President. Electing Donald Trump into office meant we as a nation had to adapt to his new philosophies and ideologies. What does that mean? Well this meant that Trumpism was going to take over the United States. So, you ask what is Trumpism? According to Professor Jim Braid, his definition of Trumpism is a populist social/political movement that led to Donald Trump in office. This movement is characterized by people who felt at a disadvantage in their pursuit of the American dream. Trump’s supporters are a wide range of negative people who are affected by income inequality. His voters are disproportionately non-college educated white males who believe in the ideology of
Some people watched the debate support and cheer one of the candidates, other to clarify to whom they should vote for. In this rhetorical analysis, the purpose is to establish some examples of ethos, logos, and pathos of each on the candidates. Ethos is used to describe the audience 's perception of the rhetor 's
Ethos has to do primarily with credibility. Ethos is an appeal to ethics, and is a means of convincing the audience of the character or credibility of the persuader or content. Examples of this in the billboard advertisement are the sponsors at the bottom: Baron Real Estate, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and the American Lung Association. In the Doritos commercial advertisement, logos is seen with the brand title. The Doritos logos is the more powerful of the two based on this information, because of how Doritos is widely known and recognized by all, while many of the sponsors on the billboard aren’t as immediately
We live in the age of consumerism; we are constantly surrounded by advertisements in our everyday environments. Through television, print, billboards, radio, the Internet and countless other mediums, it seems as though we cannot escape ads. We have become so accustomed to advertisements that most of the time we are unaware of the impact they can have on us. To help us become more aware of the effects of advertisements and consumerism, activist groups like Adbusters has helped bring more attention and awareness to how information and meaning gets generated and transmitted in our society today.
...maintain that advertising exists primarily to create demand among consumers. People have certain types of wants and needs, and they are perfectly capable to discover it for themselves. People today just need food, clothing and shelter everything else is superfluous and additional stuff. Advertising are able to create demand that would not exist just by manipulating people’s min and emotions. Advertising is master in manipulate reality and fantasy, by creating “magic show.” It is true that advertising has been a powerful mechanism that distorts our whole society’s values and priorities. On the other hand, advertising educate people about several issues. In political terms, it moves mass of people and persuade them to vote for a candidate. And, of course, in terms of economy, contributes in the development through the consumption of the costumer.
