Weight Watchers Use Of Ethos Pathos Logos

A majority of people aren’t themselves when they‘re hungry. The ad takes place in the nostalgic suburban home of “The Brady Bunch” where Marcia, played by Danny Trejo, is upset that a football has ruined his nose for the big dance. Mrs. Brady hands Danny Trejo a Snickers and he transforms back into sweet-talking Marcia. Then it pans over to Steve Buscemi who reenacts the famous “Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!” meltdown. This ad uses two types of rhetoric, logos and pathos, but a majority of the ad uses pathos because it is not listing any facts really and is using only emotion to sell the product, in this case, humor. This commercial is not effective in using pathos to convince hungry people of buying Snickers.

The addictive food that is sold by supermarkets is made to appeal to the consumers’ taste and make them addicted to it. In Michael Moss’ “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food,” he mentions that the potato chip is a snack that provides a feeling of pleasure as well as a rewarding sensation in the brain through its coating of salt and fat (490). Small details food companies put in the food make a difference in the taste, which tends to attract more consumers without them aware of how they are being addicted to the food. In food companies’ perspective, the engineering of food to add more flavor and attract more consumers has no issue since it is how companies make their profits. Stephen Sanger, head of General Mills and the Yoplait brand, was able to produce $500 million in revenue from a new dessert that originated from the yogurt since it maintains a nutritive image with consumers (Moss 475-476). However, the new modified dessert contained twice the amount of sugar than the original yogurt (Moss 475). In addition to the product being unhealthy, Stephen reportedly said in a meeting that people bought what tasted good and that he would continue to promote his business. Nevertheless, when adding more sugar or simply modifying the product to appeal the customer it makes it more addictive and more likely to be bought again. To continue manipulating the food without informing the customers that the product is now more addictive becomes a moral issue. The responsibility then lies with the companies to inform the consumer of such engineering in the food to allow them to make their own independent decision of purchasing a

Aristotle’s terms of persuasion can help to validate whether or not an ad will be successful. In this case the ad is for a Chevrolet 1500 Silverado Truck (2015 Chevrolet Silverado 14 Oct.2015). The terms of persuasion that help to evaluate this ad are Ethos, Logos and pathos. The use of rhetoric in the ad can play a major role in the ads success. As well as identifying the colors in the ad and there meaning, it can help to understand the persuasion used in the ad. By evaluating these terms of persuasion and by doing a theoretical analysis one can find and view the success of the Chevy truck ad.

The picture I chose, shows an image that is in the public eye of today’s society, the image of smoking and how people can be affected by it. In this picture, viewers can see how smoking can really affect one’s life and how the addiction can be harmful to not only the outside of the body, but also the inside. This photo shows a controversial side of the appeal that people become addicted to cigarettes and, even after trying to go cold turkey, some people still cannot get over the addiction. The first thing that is noticed is the noose. The noose is being wrapped around the woman’s neck comparing the cigarette to the noose in attempt to show death. The next thing noticed is the knife, in attempt to show the smoker slicing their wrist. The ad

The film admits that, while it may have a nice motive and a good start, with time the purpose was lost. Remarking that the “Let’s move!” campaign started losing its way around the same time that food companies started showing their support and subtly influencing their attitude, the documentary shows that these two are not unrelated. In order to protect themselves, companies started leading the campaign towards a more “exercising is good for you, you should do it more” approach, instead of a “let’s eat better” one. All because it wouldn’t be convenient for them if everyone suddenly decided to stop eating foods with

“The general public apparently believes subliminal advertising exists” (Broyles 393) however, what effects, if any, are there to the people that view them? There is a belief that companies can influence our behavior in life to the extent where they can, in part, remove the consumers ' choice in their purchases. The idea of advertising firms crafting advertisements with hidden messages that influence the audience to shop at stores, buy a certain product or even which foods we ingest is common in contemporary culture. David Zinczenko addresses many concerns about the marketing and health impacts of the fast food industry in his article, “Don’t Blame the Eater”. Zinczenko says is directly, “Fast-Food companies are marketing to children a product

Media promotes all forms of obesity. In If You Pitch It, They Will Eat, a New York Times article written by David Barboza, Susan Linn, a psychologist who studies children’s marketing at Harvard’s Judge Baker Children’s Center states, “It used to just be Saturday-morning television. Now it’s Nickelodeon, movies, video games, the Internet, and even marketing in schools”(5). Essentially, Linn is saying that their has been an increase in food marketing because of how advance technology has gotten which has lead to the increase of weight in children and many americans. David Barboza, in If You Pitch It, They Will Eat, explains how marketers use television by stating, “Marketers know that children love animals and cartoon characters, and industry observers say they have used that knowledge not just to create new shows but to produce a new generation of animated pitchmen”(29). This statement is so true because when my little brother sees toys or junk food on television he immediately begs my parents to buy either one for him. The majority of commercials during programs aimed at children are for unhealthy high-fat, high sugars or high-salt foods with little nutritional value. Not all parents are aware of how their children are exposed to marketing campaigns that influence their children. Some top food choices for kids attack kids by their appealing commercials. The commercials use bright colors, a funny icon cartoon character, older kids, and catchy phrases. Also, the TV is sought to be a key to kids and their weight, it brainwashes the kids into thinking the bad food is the good food. Basically these types of commercials are a main source for the company’s money. Parents will do almost everything for their kids but sometimes the parents just give them food to stop bothering

Coca-Cola is one of the biggest soft drink businesses in the world so when a Coca-Cola was asking a book company to change their slogan because they were the same, it made them seem a bit unprofessional. Ira C Herbert a representative of Coca-Cola, wrote to Richard Seaver the Executive Vice President of Grove Press Inc. to modify their slogan to something different he uses rhetorical devices such as pathos, logos, and diction.

In 2014, Coca-Cola released and ad that best exemplifies an advertisement that hits Ethos, Pathos, and Logos all together in a perfect harmony. The advertisement begins with the song America the Beautiful being sung, as the commercial goes on, the viewer is introduced to different languages singing the song, and different cultures, which helps define the age old term of the United States being a melting pot. Another thing that is more subtle is that most of the people, have a coke or the logo somewhere in the shot with them, which helps show people that this is a Coca-Cola commercial. The commercial ends with two small girls running happily, and the Cola jingle being played as a red graphic of their logo is shown. A hashtag shows up next to it, indicating that people should discuss the commercial on social media.

Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta is one of the largest pediatric systems in the country, they have created a campaign, Strong4Life, which targets an ongoing epidemic in the U.S., childhood obesity. Using ethos, logos, and pathos, through a gloomy image of an obese young girl, Strong4Life is looking to rhetorically increase awareness amongst the public, parents, and also children facing this issue. The effectiveness of this ad is debatable, because the lack of ethos and logos visually is not there.

The commercial appeals on the audience’s logic because there is no one but multiple people who achieved greatness such as superstars, famous people and protégées. The commercial makes the point that if some people can do it, why not all of us. The voice in the ad sustains that “greatness is not a rare DNA, or a precious thing” to claim that not only chosen people could achieve greatness. In the ad, the jogger is a young boy corpulent who has difficulties to run to achieve his goals. By showing a young wrestling to keep up running, the ad proves their point that not only famous people could achieve greatness but also

In advertisements, the companies are attempting to persuade their audience that their product is effective to the consumers’ lifestyle. They want to reach out to the consumers in any way possible. Companies want consumers to feel as if they need the product, where if they purchased the product their life would be so much better. Companies make advertisements to allure the audience in, seek their attention, and then grabbing it. Companies make commercials often to sell dreams to their audience, but the company Apple is turning dreams into a reality. Apple’s commercial “Dreams” is very effective towards its targeted consumers through its elegant use of pathos and logos.

The connections that can be related to the media advertisement is Kissing the Rain by Kevin Brooks as a quotation that we based the plotline for our novel, we wanted to express the progression of obesity and how body-image has evolved into a dynamic factor in society’s opinion. The PSA included “I 'm fat I 'm so sad and I eat a lot I can 't stop” as the main message to “Don’t Fall into Bad Habits.” As authors, we wanted to express obesity and compelling body-image as a
