Technology has challenged the rules of privacy, and people are questioning if privacy is a necessity anymore. 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. Unfortunately, people do not realize companies use technology for targeted advertising, which is an invasion of privacy. An invasion of privacy is when people’s private information is used to influence them and is given to other people or companies unknowingly. Targeted advertising is further explained in the article “Behavioral Ads Offer a Windfall for Marketers, Publishers” that targeted ads “involve tracking consumers’ web surfing and shopping habits so marketers can
Our everyday lives consist of advertisements, there is literally no escape, and for me advertisements that play heavy with emotions catch my attention more often than any other. The advertisement I choose for this analysis project is the BCSPCA (British Columbia Society for the prevention of curtly to animals) commercial featuring Sarah McLachlan and her atrociously sad song “Angel”. Now, a bit of background information on BCSPCA and McLachlan, BCSPCA is a non for profit organization for the advocacy of animal welfare, there are locations all over the United States (ASPCA) and Canada, like franchises if you will. These guys love animals and so it would be fitting that their motto is “we are their voice”, being that animals can’t speak and all.

“In the first episode of Mad Men (Smoke gets in your eyes) Don Draper outlines the appeal of fear as a tool for selling with chilling clarity. “Advertising is based on one thing: happiness, he calmly tells his clients. And do you know what happiness is? … It's freedom from fear” (Peretti 2014). This observation by Jacques Peretti in a July 2014 article in The Guardian frames the effectiveness of fear-based advertising in our culture. Whether advertisements attack masculinity, femininity, class, race, or other jealously-defended qualities or insecurities, it puts people in a mentality where, not only should they purchase this product or service, but not doing so will cause real or perceived danger. Humans are social creatures, and even adults feel pressured to “fit in.” Fear-based advertising capitalizes on the fear of not fitting in with our race, class, gender, or other groups that people consider part of their identity, and that is what makes it so effective.

The Great Depression changed advertising in the way that it was done. The Great Depression effected the United States in a huge economically way. People did not have the extra money to food sometimes; therefore buying leisure things was not option. In an industry that relies on a selling of products, advertising took a major hit. Advertising continued to attempt to get people spend money, despite the fact that nobody had any. There had to be a way for advertisers to sell their products that made people feel like they would be getting a value. According to Marchand,

Jay Walker-Smith, the president of Yankelovich Marketing Firm has recently stated that the average person is exposed “to as many as 5,000” ads every single day (Johnson). This gigantic number shows the prevalence of advertising in today’s capitalistic, controlled world. Most people are not shocked to learn that advertisements are everywhere; however, they are often shocked to learn the amount of propaganda used in said advertisements. You, as a consumer, cannot always trust the information shown in advertisements. Many commercials often use an abundance of propaganda techniques that slip right under the radar of the views. The popular Matthew McConaughey Lincoln MKC commercial as well as the George Washington Challenger commercial both contain
One main idea coming from Chapter 8 of Controversies In Contemporary Advertising, was how minorities are unrepresented in advertising. It appears the only times minorities are represented is when there is a special occasion, for example there are more advertisements during the month of February because it is Black History Month. This invisibility of minorities can hold them back from opportunities, and it may instill the feeling that they must hide their identity since they will never be a part of mainstream culture.

Another issue is that value distribution becomes uneven since minorities
