Drinking Advertisements Affecting American Youth

For this essay I decided to pick these two advertisements that affects the American youth in the past, present and the future; for the sole reason it has the same issues, but has different outcome for the actions. For example, the first ad “Don’t ask a man to drink and drive- he’s got too much to lose.” When a TV ad like that comes on, sometimes a viewer can get so caught up in the images, that they only realize alcohol is being advertising when the ad is over. You then are aware of how seriously this issue is, and how you been in the blindness by the advertising with the youth. Apparently is how some people decide to try a drink, then drive without taking into account of their awareness and how it been diminished? Obviously it pays to advertise,

Young people don’t know what it means to drink. In school young people just want to be part of the crowd, and doing that they think drinking is the right way. A survey shows in “Alcohol Alert” that 4,390 high school student’s drop-out of school from being absent from school, being sick, get arrested, or a car crash which involve with drinking under age.

How can “Don’t let texting blind you” Ad have any effects on the American youth behavior or attitudes today? First, this ad can use Logos in the American youth today because. Its basic common sense “you shouldn’t do it” it’s wrong to be texting while driving. You can get a fund, you can get somebody hurt, you can get arrested, etc. Second, pathos by for apparent or a love one getting a car from the police saying “your child was in a car accident and she or he didn’t make it.” That will break your hurt parent’s heart in a way that you can’t imagine because; no parent want to bury their child. And third ethos, The National Safety council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. And according to an AAA poll, 94% of teens drivers acknowledge the dangers of texting and driving, but 35 % admitted of doing it
