Political Advertisement Against Rick Santorum

558 Words3 Pages

The first political advertisement I found was a ad against Rick Santorum. This ad is showing how spending by politicians such as Rick have led to the increase of national debt which is now over $15 trillion. This ad is very bias and is against what people like Rick are doing to our nation. It is unfair to him as he not the only contributing factor to this debt. This ad is an example of the fallacy post hoc, because wasteful spending by politician 's such as Rick have caused the national debt to rise above $15 trillion dollars. The second ad I looked at was a picture of Marco Rubio with the words "Marco Rubio burned us. We can 't trust him again." His face and along with background are red and dark colored. The validity of this argument is not factual. It doesn’t state what he …show more content…

We should not have him as a candidate for president." It is in black and white and the look on his face makes it seem like he is a bad person. This image is very bias because of the fact that we shouldn’t trust him for some reason. We are assuming that all people are bad if we don’t know them and that they shouldn 't have leadership roles of our country. The fallacy being used is hasty generalization, because we are assumption that he is not trustworthy because we don 't know him, there for should not run the country. My fourth political ad is a billboard advertisement that is a picture of a politician with his finger over his mouth saying "shhhh" It says "If cheating on your taxes is ok, so is..." And at the bottom it says "Life is short, have an affair." This ad is against people who cheat on there taxes or the tax system. The hidden assumption is that if cheating on your taxes so is cheating on your significant other. This is a weak analogy comparing two completely different things saying that the are the same and both are just as bad as each

    However, ads that are meant to leave only an emotional impression upon the target audience are not beneficial and in fact can be dangerous because they may backfire. Resorting to negative campaign ads require candidates to give thoughtful consideration and careful presentation.

  • John Sample's The Fallacy Of Campaign Finance Reform

    902 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the excerpt from “The Fallacy of Campaign Finance Reform”, John Samples argues that the passing of the McCain-Feingold Act is no means for celebration. Samples argues that money and Freedom of Speech, as well as other rights enunciated in the Constitution, are intertwined. Samples begins by examining the purposes of the McCain-Feingold Act. Although the law itself explains little about its purposes and the “special interest” influences it tried to reduce, supporters of the Act expected the law to accomplish many purposes. These purposes include curbing special interests, such as stopping the use of soft money as a means of buying influence, ending the appearance of corruption, and reducing some kinds of political advertising, such as issue ads, which target particular candidates in an attempt to influence the outcome of an election.

    In 1984, it was again time to elect a president. Democrat Walter Mondale, former vice president under Jimmy Carter, was running against the current president, Ronald Reagan. Because of their lead in the polls, Reagan and his team decided not to attack Mondale, but to form a campaign based on being able to feel good about America again. Amongst the many commercials Reagan 's team did, "Morning in America" stands out as one of the greatest political ads ever. It created a sense that America was once again strong and Americans could feel secure in the knowledge that they were living in the greatest country in the world.

    The argument made was whether or not people would see this happen in a real life situation while walking down the road, sitting at a gas station, or even sitting at work or school. By making this argument, the conclusion made was that this does not logically occur on its own. Then the effectiveness and use of the advertisement itself was discussed. If used in the right way, it could be very effective in helping the planet. A healthy planet means a healthy

I also did not notice that the logo was over the guy’s private parts. After looking at the picture multiple times, I noticed these things and I thought the message changed. To me after I noticed these things it did not work.

    The ad hominem fallacy occurs when someone attacks the motives or intentions of a person instead of focusing on the real argument. In Thank You for Smoking, the ad hominem fallacy appears when Nick Naylor suggests that warning labels should be put in products like cars, airplanes, and Vermont cheddar cheese. He uses this fallacy because he was trying to show the audience at a meeting that cigarettes are not the only product that is dangerous. Instead of focusing on the real argument, he was trying to attack the motives from the different representatives that were at the

    I seem to absorb advertisements quicker than I can process them; they breeze past any cognitive thought or qualifications and set up shop as doctrines for my life. Moreover, some advertisements are denied with twisted logic, like using brand loyalty to make decisions. In an effort to gain better understanding of advertising’s art of persuasion, I have been studying the rhetorical appeals and attempting to identify them in my daily ad intake. They are: pathos, an appeal to emotions; logos, an appeal to logic and reasoning; ethos, an appeal to credibility; and Kairos, the timeliness of the appeal. Recently, while walking through Overton Park, I came across a sign that advertises three park features: a zoo, art college, and art museum; rather

    I am disgraced by the number of sexist ads that are displayed by the advertising industry in this society. Advertisement is multi-billion-dollar industry which is ever growing and over evolving. However, the way in which advertisers display their products and message still hasn’t changed. In this society, we strive for gender equality, but we are still bombarded with advertisements that are fixated on the objectification and sexualisation of woman. These ads violate the code ethics that state that ads can not discrimination or sexualize a group of people.

    The ‘reproductive fallacy’, as named by Andre Bazin, examines the modality levels in all we are exposed to and influenced by, including advertisements which we are bombarded with daily and most of which have a low modality or omit information making them unreliable. “…[Keeping] to the modern period [I will] say a few words about…why and how the problem of media and disinformation enters within [the] context [of propaganda]….” (Chomsky 2002:10). This quote by Noam Chomsky on propaganda and the media highlights the fact that propaganda is of high use in the media and causes a lot of misleading information to be portrayed to the

    Additionally, the image itself presents unusual situation. The world leaders shown in pictures are from the countries in conflict with one another or share contrasting ideologies. Probably the most controversial of them presented the Pope kissing the head of Ahmed Mohamed el-Tayeb, the Egyptian Church. Vatican condemned the advertisement, as well as the other as the spokeperson of Ahmed Mohamed el-Tayeb: 'A statement from the Vatican said the ad was “damaging to not only to dignity of the Pope and the Catholic Church but also to the feelings of believers.” A spokesperson for al-Azhar called the ad “irresponsible and absurd.”'

I chose these two advertisements for two different reasons. The first advertisement that I chose was the Loud Music advertisement, I chose this because as I was looking through the pictures it was the first one to catch my attention and I had to click on it. The Bose Noise Canceling Headphones was the second advertisement that I chose, I picked this one because I have always been a fan of high quality stereo, and Bose is well known for making really good audio headphones and home theater systems.
