Emotions are a vital and natural part of life (Richins 1997). They are seen as an indispensable element of rational thinking and behavior, and seen as dominant to cognition (Poels and Dewitte 2006). In the year 1999 Bagozzi, Gopinath and Nyer defined emotions as a “mental state of readiness that arises from cognitive appraisals of events or thoughts, has a phenomenological tone, often expressed physically, accompanied by psychological processes and may result in specific actions to affirm or cope with emotions”. Emotions can steer our attitudes, behavior (Bagozzi, Gopinath and Nyer 1999) and also motivate and persuade consumers (Andrade and Cohen 2007).

Emotional advertising has proved to effect customer’s reaction (Burke and Edell 1989) and enhance their attention (Olney et al., 1991). According to Belch and Belch (1998), advertising appeal is used to draw consumers’ attention and it focuses at influencing consumers’ attitude and emotions about a related product or service. Emotional appeals generate either positive or negative emotions which can stimulate a particular purchase (Hongxia 2014).

Consumer behavior researchers have also pointed out that the individual differences among the consumers lead to variations in their responses to advertising appeals (David, Harris and Chen 1995). According to Aaker and Stayman (1989) some individuals experience their emotions at a greater magnitude when exposed to an ad with emotional content. Happiness is defined as “a state of well-being and contentment and a pleasurable or satisfying experience” (Mogilner et al., 2012) .For many people, the quest and accomplishment of happiness are one of the most essential quests in life (Rudd et al., 2014) therefore, marketers consider appeal to happiness as an essential part of advertisements (Nauman et al., 2014).

In Jib Fowles essay, “Advertising's Fifteen Basic Appeals”, he discusses the fifteen appeals advertisers use to engage the consumer’s interest in buying their products. These different advertising techniques are directed towards a target audience; including males, females, elders, and teenagers. However, in some cases, the Carls Jr ad being analyzed has multiple audiences; primarily the male and female audiences. The male audience is more influenced by the sex appeal in the ad (i.e., the use of a model and suggestive wording), meanwhile the female audience is more influenced by the desire for attention and acceptance.
From the listening, the professor explains that emotional appeals are to manipulate or control our emotion. And he also says that advertisers use different techniques to persuade us to buy.

Advertising companies use this strategy because human emotions have a very strong influence when it comes to decision making. Certain advertising companies will present information that makes an audience feel sad, angry, or pitiful towards the subject presented. An example of this would be a company that is advertising for awareness of malnutrition. The company could present the audience with pictures or information that makes them feel sorry for people suffering malnutrition. The audience is more likely to consider information in the advertisement if the information makes the audience feel a certain way.
Pathos in an Advertisement Almost everywhere, on t.v channels. , on the Internet, in the folded sheets of a newspaper, an advertisement will appear. Advertisements are one way for a company, speaker, or a person to reach out to a particular audience to get a message across. The messages that are trying to be relayed to the audience can range from a huge issue of trying to change somebody’s belief about a certain issue, to something smaller such as trying to get somebody to get out of their comfort zone and eat something new for lunch. However, in order to get a person to stop what they’re doing and focus in on the message that’s trying to be conveyed, the person needs to relate to their specified audience.
Advertisements: Exposed When viewing advertisements, commercials, and marketing techniques in the sense of a rhetorical perspective, rhetorical strategies such as logos, pathos, and ethos heavily influence the way society decides what products they want to purchase. By using these strategies, the advertisement portrayal based on statistics, factual evidence, and emotional involvement give a sense of need and want for that product.

Not only can they determine what we do, but also when and how we do it. At times they are stronger than others, pulling us forward or throwing us back as if we have absolutely no control. Just like in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the entire lives of two teenagers led by the emotions that they couldn’t ignore.
When Grinnell says that science is taught “divorced from understanding” he means that students aren’t taught what is so fascinating about science, but are rather taught how to complete science assignments. He uses the example of the science fair, which is something I, fortunately never had to do in high school. I heard through the grapevine through my friends that did have to do the science fair that it was too strict. There was no room for creativity; it seemed like the project didn’t care about the student presenting something interesting in the world of science, rather it was strictly based on, as Grinnell said, the placement of certain aspects of the project. In high school, I took a very basic biology class where the teacher understood that the curriculum was taking the fun

Jib Fowles wrote an article called “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals,” explaining where he got his ideas about the appeals, from studying interviews by Henry A. Murray. Fowles gives details and examples on how each appeal is used and how advertisements can “form people’s deep-lying desires, and picturing states of being that individuals privately yearn for” (552). The minds of human beings can be influenced by many basic needs for example, the need for sex, affiliation, nurture,
Throughout the course of one’s life, there is a constant search for some form of happiness. We may not always realize we are on the quest for it, but it’s part of human nature. In “Silver Linings Playbook” we see this happen throughout with Pat and Tiffany, who are both searching for happiness.

Panda and Kamalesh Mishra, elaborated on this in an article titled “Does Emotional Appeal Work in Advertising? the Rationality Behind Using Emotional Appeal to Create Favorable Brand Attitude”.

Technology, specifically apple products such as iPhones, is a need in many people’s lives, and they cannot imagine not being able to check their phones for the weather or to ask Siri to find the closest restaurant.

The cognitive level of analysis aims to study how the inner processes of the mind processes information gained, and how they are interpreted and applied into the real world. Within this level of analysis, it was found that the cognitive and biological factors of our mind influence how we feel, or in other words, our emotions. Emotion can be defined as the body’s response to any specific situation. As all human beings can express how they feel through facial expressions, this suggests that emotions are biological rather than cognitive. However, emotions can be dependent on both the cognitive and biological factors of our body.
