The visuals chosen for the infomercial are interesting because it shows what the product is and establishes ethos in a way as the commercial shows the actual product. (If we can get it) The last visual is a lab coat as the presentation consists a noticeable amount of logos; the lab coat assists in establishing ethos too. In all honesty, who doesn’t believe a person stating facts when they have a lab coat on? It could also be noted that the visuals are appealing because they are not coming from random places and they target the objective of showing the wonderful

In Eric Schlosser‘s essays, the author shows how the social media are targeting children by their ads and advertisements. He exposes the negative side of advertising especially when children are implicated. The author explores children’s cooperation with these companies whether consciously or unconsciously through their behavior and ways of convincing their parents to get them what they want. He mentions how these same parents by lack of spending enough time with kids pamper them and don’t refuse their desires. Schlosser gives more explanations by introducing several examples of these companies such as Disney, McDonald, clothes, oil, and phone companies, too without openly blaming neither of them.

In today’s world, advertisements can be seen almost everywhere from enormous billboards along highways to a diminutive ads on a phone. But not all advertisements are successful.

Trump uses Hillary’s words against her to convince people who will soon vote (Hard working people) for the 2016 Presidential election, that she feels that they are unworthy or a disgrace.

Trump uses logos by appealing to the people offended by Clinton's statement. As for ethos, he provides audio stating how he approves the message made by the commercial with a picture of him holding his thumb up.

The commercial by Chevrolet titled, “A Boy and His Dog,” is extremely effective and persuasive to the audience through emotion, ethics, and logical situations.
Our perceptions of the world is largely dictated by the most important thing surrounding our environment. For example, experienced advertisers realise that choosing when and where to air a television advert is an extremely important choice because of priming effects.

An ethos appeal is a very common way that advertisers persuade viewers to “buy” their product. Leading into the bold logo “Got
