The Great Milk Debate 1. The Great MIlk Debate, a great advertisement whose main message is to prove that milk sources like coconut, hazelnut, almond and soy are better than cow’s milk. A major part of the advertisement shows the needed vitamins and minerals provided to human beings by plant based milk. For example, calcium, zinc, iron, protein ,etc are all the various vitamins provided by the plant based milk such as coconut, hazelnut, almond and soy respectively. The author is trying to convince the audience that they should stop drinking cow milk by stating the negative effects of it. For example, the ad says, “Cow’s milk is harmful for the planet” and “Leads to osteoporosis.”. It …show more content…

Logos, generally referring to logic, connects the reader’s reasoning through the subject. The facts presented by Wolfe such as necessary vitamins for the human body provided by plant based milk such as calcium, phosphorus, manganese and protein showed the use of logos. Pathos refers to connecting the audience through emotions. Attention getting phrases such as, Causes emotional and physical sufferings for the cow, Is for baby cows, etc. is the trick to attack the mind and thinking of the audience through emotions. Wolfe, being a smart man, knows that it is so easy to convince a large part of the society to change their milk source on the basis of emotion. A lot of people do not consider anything else and give priority to how they feel and can even change their milk sources if they feel sad about the …show more content…

The advertisement is not so persuasive for its intended audience. It can be said so because the author is trying to convince everyone to change instead of taking small steps and starting from people who do not like cow milk or the ones who already care a lot about cows and their pain or the ones who do not want to support the veal industry. I believe that after this advertisement only a very small segment of society will try to adapt to this change of milk sources. To make it more impactful and efficient the author should have used examples of people that actually felt different and benefited from plant based milk. Also, the author should have presented both sides of the coin, it means that the lack of cow milk advantages from the advertisement shows that the author tried to play smart with a thought that the audience is not so smart. This is a completely non-ethical way to convince

    The writer can appeal to the reader’s emotion, too create a stronger message to send to the reader.

    As humans, we have an almost involuntary propensity to act through our emotional frame of thought rather than our frame of logic; hence, pathos over logos. This is not due to a lack of understanding, rather is it because of our ability to understand. Our ability to understand circumstance, morale, beliefs, and the types relationships we’ve forged. Since we are able to understand these things so well, our minds, almost like muscle memory, piece together the elements of our circumstance and conceive a response that feels suitable within the context of the subject matter. In terms of subject matter, I will be providing three examples that enforce the idea that pathos most often appeals over logos, all dealing with the currently-relevant and

    As transportation of milk became easier with the introduction of different cars design specifically for liquids, the railroad companies started to take advantage of dairy farms by having high prices for transporting. In addition to such a burden on the farmers, they also had to spend their money on the cows and feed for the production of milk. After subtracting all of these expenses, it can be seen that the farmers are losing a lot of money in this industry. This left the dairy farmers in a quagmire. They either had to boycott the railroads and deal with slower transportation through other means like cars or they just had to deal with the high prices of the transportation.

    First, it uses Pathos, which is an emotional appeal to the audience, when it states that drinking milk will give you results. These results are portrayed as helping you transform into leaner, thus attractive, build more muscle, thus stronger, and be more decisive, thus more successful. Second, it uses Logos, which is the reasoning part of the argument, when it states that if you eat right, exercise, and drink three glasses of milk a day instead of sugary drinks, then you will be lean and build muscle. The ad makes this reasoning more persuasive, by stating that studies have shown this to tend to be true for teens that do it. The phrase “tend to” helps to make this statement more logical by eliminating the absolute and permitting their statement to not be true in some instances.
