More than one hundred million acres, an area about the size of Pennsylvania, lie in ruin.” The devastating effects did not stop at an agricultural level, but they also affected the social and economic lives of the residents. These cataclysmic events occurred because the cycle of over farming, low price, and drought collided at once. Worster shows us how these events are tied together, causing a cycle of destruction to the farmland, economy and of course human
The ad’s appeal to logos is entertaining and subtle. The many visual effects and vibrant background music provide the viewer with a palatable visual and auditory experience. The thematic elements of fire in the commercial will illustrate the experience of spicy when one eats a bag of Doritos “Blaze.” Correspondingly, the visual experience of Morgan Freeman in a icy palace exemplifies the cool, refreshing experience of enjoying a bottle of Mountain Dew “Ice”.
My favorite ad is #CATmageddon by the organization, Truth. This commercial started running in the beginning of the year and used video of current internet cat memes such as, Keyboard Cat, Roomba Shark Cat and Pirate Cat along with facts and slogans to address Truth 's anti-smoking campaign, "Smoking Kills pets too". The video first presented the fact that cats are twice as likely to get cancer if their owner smokes. This demonstrates the use of rhetoric logos to convince the audience with logical reasoning. In addition, the video also uses pathos, the love and enjoyment people get from watching cat video.
For example, Verizon in the past launched an ad campaign based upon the character of the “Test Guy.” What we saw were images of a slightly dorky looking guy, wearing glasses and semi-nice attire, go all over the world testing to see if he could hear the person on the other side of the phone. His tag line was “Can you hear me now.” Of course, this was a very well-known statement to cell phone users. In fact, every time when the majority of America would lose reception on their cell phones, they would in turn respond with “Can you hear me now?”
Over forty years ago much of this territory was burned over, but has since grown up to small white pine, poplar, spruce, and balsam, with tag alder coulies, which together made the best of deer covert. The country was however, still a mass of fallen, rotting logs and brush, which the present dry season has made a carpet of tinder that only awaited a spark and high wind to wipe it up entirely .... .... Contrary to the usual theory, the railways were not responsible for these fires. The cause lay with careless settlers, who set out fire without taking due precaution against it
Wildland fires have played an important role in North American history. Theyhave helped shape our public and private lands. Wildfires have causedthousands of deaths, destroyed millions of acres of timber and evenseveral towns in their path. However, wildland fire is not solely adestructive force. It is necessary for the growth of some plantspecies, and is part of an ecological cycle.
In old days, agriculture or other primary industries were the main pillar of Michigan state’s economy. “Most Native American settlements in the Great Lakes region were along river valleys or near the shoreline of the Great Lakes, and most of the population located in the southern half of the Lower Peninsula. Tribal settlements were not permanent, with groups moving to new locations every few years. Although agriculture was limited by soil conditions and dense forest, the Native Americans of this region did cultivate crops. Corn, beans, and squash were grown and wild apples, berries, nuts, game, fish, honey, and wild rice provided other sources of food.
Most people think of these main effects on human life when they think of the consequences of wildfires, but there are other ramifications many don’t realize. One such consequence being the effect on local economies. Wildfires and even severe fire danger can directly decrease recreation and tourism in those areas, potentially taking away significant local government income. Also extensive damage to trees can significantly lower timber supply, both from the short term decrease in timber supply and the longer term decline while to trees regrow. Water supplies can be effected by post-fire erosion and stream sedimentation.
Two Superbowl commercials that were persuasive were the skittles commercial and Mr.Clean commercial. These two commercials got the point of the product. Both of the commercials showed the product and what's it used for. They also both used something to the watcher's attention. The two commercials also used some humor to make the watcher stay and watch the commercial while they're showing the product.
Desertification, Deforestation, soil depletion, and water contamination are among some of the consequences of agriculture. An agricultural boom often means that an over farming and an overproduction stage occurs. This result can be worse than the pre-food famine, because now no food is being produced. Water contamination from pesticides and
The Use of Rhetorical Devices in the “Google Home” Super Bowl Commercial Companies and other forms of media strategically use the three rhetorical appeals, ethos, pathos, and logos, to market goods and/or promote ideas. The appeals have been used for centuries are still prevalent in all types of modern day propaganda. If used correctly, ethos, pathos, and logos can be used as clever tactics to engrain information into the brains of consumers. One of the more notable ways that brands use these appeals are commercials. Google, the world’s most famous multinational technology company, used the three appeals to reach success.
Apple Music's "Taylor Swift vs. The Treadmill" commercial set a good example for my statement. The key to a good successful commercial is when it includes the three famous appeals; which are ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is the credibility appeal, pathos is the emotional appeal, and lastly, logos is the logical
Despite nearly 11.6 billion pounds containing non-wooden fuel being eaten in California in the year 2017, fires continue to blaze in California as well as other states who attempt to use cattle grazing to prevent wildfires (Rao). This idea about preventing fires by having cattle graze the land seems to have grown almost as fast as the fires in California themselves. The biggest misunderstanding about this myth is livestock does not prevent fires; instead, they help reduce the severity of wildfires in some cases. However, livestock will sometimes make wildfires more detrimental depending on the ecosystem they are placed in. The fallacy behind cows preventing wildfires, if left unchecked, could lead to an eradicated ecosystem and continued fires.
Fire can be devastating no matter the level of power it has, yet the effects that wildfires have on every worldwide country really has left its mark on the land. As written by world renowned wild fire spokesperson Smokey the Bear, “Every year, wildfires sweep through parts of the United States setting wilderness and homes ablaze. On average these raging infernos destroy about four to five million acres of land a year. But in 2012, wildfire burned more than 9.3 million acres, an area about the size of Massachusetts and Connecticut combined” (n.d 2013) Wildfires have been a major issue for many years; with the first one being recorded over four hundred and twenty million years ago the world realized they were dealing with an unstoppable monster.
The agricultural technology that was invented during the medieval ages resulted in social and economic developments which affected the lives of those living in that period. The new machinery allowed the townspeople to grow a surplus of food and in result learn new specialties and trades. “When these people could produce a surplus, they were freed to do other things, which provided the basis for towns, cities, and civilization”( flowofhistory.com). Civilian life was made more comfortable because of the advancements that were made through the ages.
