Among American adults, 1 in 2 have a chance at having high blood pressure.
That is 50 percent of all people who are above the age of 18 in the United States. High blood pressure can be caused by multiple factors in that age range. In an ad by the Ad Council for the American Heart Association titled “High Blood Pressure Control,” the Ad Council states that many Americans who have high blood pressure do not have their blood pressure under control. While there are many ways to keep blood pressure under control, many adult Americans do not pay attention to the signs. The ad goes on to explain that uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, and other health issues. With dark tones of black and white in the ad it optimizes the risky, or …show more content…

High blood pressure rarely shows symptoms physically or mentally in people. The ad also explains that many people know their numbers of their blood pressure, but choose not to follow HBP plans or report their numbers. To quote the ad, “While most people know their blood pressure numbers, many don’t follow their HBP plan because they feel fine and don’t notice any symptoms. Their numbers are not tangible or urgent,” (Ad Council). Americans who do not pay any attention are at risk for having to have costly procedures and to be at risk of death. Living with high blood pressure can lead to many problems in everyday life and activities. It is very important to monitor blood pressure, and if guidelines and plans are not followed by those with high blood pressure, there is a grand risk of physical deterioration in the heart. This ad uses rhetorical appeals to explain and express the importance of monitoring blood pressure and reporting if it is too high. This ad uses ethos with the credibility of the ad and the speaker, pathos in the somberness and grief tone of the provided photo, and logos in the statistics of the ad and the subject of the ad.

Even by making this image the ad does not give much information, but still gives enough to make the point. The producers’ sense that the audience can interpret the point they are trying to get across without adding additional information to ruin the organization on the ad. The information used is not right, it depicts something that will not really happen, by drinking the alcohol you will not turn into the man with the suit and hat. Some people realize you will not turn into the man exactly but will turn them into a more appealing person. The producers bend the information but yet the audience will still be influenced because it is organized so well.

The visual image of a family together with significant daring fonts on the advert swiftly draws the attention of the reader, thereby exposing what the advert is all about-family health. Accordingly, word choice used in the advert shows that Doctor Express is a resolve to common family health concerns like influenza, cold, cough, fever and other common diseases. Sense of urgency is fabricated by the use of exclamation marks in the headings: “Flu shots available!’’ and “keep the whole family healthy!’’. Moreover, urgency implies that the reader could possibly lose the opportunity to keep the family healthy providing that one does not act

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. Although, the Strong4Life ad lacks any visual context of ethos and logos, They do briefly provide credibility in fine print stating that the ad was “Brought to you by Children’s of Atlanta”.

During this time period, anti-tobacco activists were just starting to make claims that cigarettes were bad for your health and because older people were already hooked on the products, the cigarette companies needed to convince the new smokers to either start or to continue smoking. Therefore they used a member of society who everyone listens to and trust for health advice, a doctor, to persuade readers to start smoking Camel cigarettes. I believe that this advertisement does successfully appeal to the audience because if what is stopping people from buying cigarettes is the health risks, then the doctors endorsing the product eliminates that risk. Since Camel is also the brand most trusted by doctors, the audience is more likely to purchase from that brand over
