The advertisement offers anyone the chance to go online and check his or her credit report for free. Every commercial shows a different scenario about how having a poor credit score can affect your life. They also state that having a low credit score can cause major stress on relationships, hurt your pride, and change your quality of life; weather or not you acquire a good job and being able to purchase quality goods. These upbeat jingles provide the message that before making any life-changing decisions or large purchases, you should go online and check your credit scores first.
Each commercial for FreeCreditReport.com has its own theme and jingle to go along with it. Jingles are a great way to promote a product. Commercials with jingles are usually more interesting than ones without. By having a catchy melody, jingles also give the consumer the chance to relate back to the product after time has passed rather than struggle to remember a short catchphrase or slogan. One of the commercials jingle begin with “My mother always told me, dress for the job you want. So why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant? It’s all because some hacker stole my identity. Now

    Persuasive speeches have been the most challenging speeches in this class for me. The goal is to influence the belief of an audience, convincing them to choose a side. The first persuasive speech I done I was nervous for some odd reason. When it comes to informative speeches I can talk a lot, but it’s different with persuasive speeches. Gaining the attention of the audience enough to persuade them is the major key to a good persuasive speech. Speech 3 was the longest persuasive speech being four to six minutes and it seemed to be the longest. With persuasive speeches, you want to provide the audience with enough information so they’ll be able to choose a side, most likely the side you’re arguing for.…

    We live in a fast paced society that is ruled by mass media. Every day we are bombarded by images of, perfect bodies, beautiful hair, flawless skin, and ageless faces that flash at us like a slide show. These ideas and images are imbedded in our minds throughout our lives. Advertisements select audience openly and subliminally, and target them with their product. They allude to the fact that in order to be like the people in this advertisement you must use their product. This is not a new approach, nor is it unique to this generation, but never has it been as widely used as it is today. There is and old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" and what better way to tell someone about a product than with all one thousand words, that all fit on one page. Take for example this ad for Hennessy cognac found in Cosmopolitan, which is a high, priced French liquor. This ad is claiming in more ways than one that Hennessy is an upscale cognac and is "appropriately complex" as well as high-class liquor. There are numerous subliminal connotations contingent to this statement.…

    Advertising is a way of producing commercials for products or services. In a fast paced world that we live in today, all types of information is thrown at us at an uncomfortable rate. On tablets, smartphones, computers, newspapers, radio and TV, we encounter ads for all kinds of products from a vast variety of large corporate companies almost every single day. In places like Manhattan, more specifically Times Square, there are a plethora of advertisements on grand billboards and on beautiful immersive screens that rest beside buildings. Ad’s have drastically increased since the turn of the twenty first century. Companies use clever tactics, such as weasel words and psychological tactics to differentiate them from other companies. Words like better, improved, new, fast and so forth play a deciding factor when buying a product, and it is up to the consumer to analyze the truth behind these words. In the article “With These Words I Can Sell You Anything” by William Luts, he states that “Advertisers use weasel words to appear to be making a claim for a product when in fact they are making no claim at all” (62). Companies want the consumer to feel the need to buy their products, as if it were drastically changing the person's life. Advertising is an effective method used by companies to promote their ideas through their…

With pressing issues like terrorism, immigration and equality, America’s people need to be united but the issue of the electoral college is one of the things preventing that. Today I will be focusing on the electoral college.
