Your task is to watch some commercials and to guess how they achieve their persuasive effect. Commercials are not the same as an
act of rhetorical public speech, but they do have a lot to teach us about psychological manipulation. Psychological manipulation is a type of social influence that aims to change the perception or behavior of others through underhanded means. Understanding how this works can then help us to identify it when it is used in public speeches. Take around five commercials and write a paragraph of 50-100 words on each, identifying all of the techniques used to persuade the audience that the product is worth buying. Think carefully about the images and words that are used. What emotional response is provoked by the commercial? Are celebrities or so-called “experts” brought in to provide proof? Is this proof valid?
For my second video, I decided to watch the "taco bells, Nacho Fries" They did a great marketing strategy. During the time Horror movies were a big trend but unfortunately, taco bell was selling food, not a movie. So they decided to make the first few seconds seem like it was a horror movie but while still have the nacho fries on the screen. Then they showed the nacho fries as the villain or horror. That made the viewer intrigued. Even if at that point they decide to skip the video, they won't forget it. Like I said earlier, horror movies were big at that time, so even if they wanted to forget it would be a challenge. Also because they continued watching means that they were interested in the commercial.
When watching Hulu I found this ad and fell in love with it. The song was so catchy that my brother and I sing it for fun. The actors portray amazing emotions that seem so natural. The Commercial I'm talking about is "Tag Team Helps With Dessert - GEICO Insurance" They make the commercial funny with different angles, a unique song, emotions, and even the little dances were entertaining to watch. The producers wanted to make something unique. Even though it could seem random it not tho. It makes it clear with a story and makes it unique with comedy.
the student council is the embodiment of the student body, of which school rules are made for.
if teachers/school staff are to make the rules, they would have neglected the feelings of students, thus making rules too harsh to be abided.they are merely there to implement rules.
slang often communicates your point correctly, but is not appropriate for formal writing... seems logically right, slang are words created and often used in speech to express something old in a new way but not appropriate for formal writing...
