Political Advertisement Against Rick Santorum

558 Words3 Pages

The first political advertisement I found was a ad against Rick Santorum. This ad is showing how spending by politicians such as Rick have led to the increase of national debt which is now over $15 trillion. This ad is very bias and is against what people like Rick are doing to our nation. It is unfair to him as he not the only contributing factor to this debt. This ad is an example of the fallacy post hoc, because wasteful spending by politician 's such as Rick have caused the national debt to rise above $15 trillion dollars. The second ad I looked at was a picture of Marco Rubio with the words "Marco Rubio burned us. We can 't trust him again." His face and along with background are red and dark colored. The validity of this argument is not factual. It doesn’t state what he …show more content…

We should not have him as a candidate for president." It is in black and white and the look on his face makes it seem like he is a bad person. This image is very bias because of the fact that we shouldn’t trust him for some reason. We are assuming that all people are bad if we don’t know them and that they shouldn 't have leadership roles of our country. The fallacy being used is hasty generalization, because we are assumption that he is not trustworthy because we don 't know him, there for should not run the country. My fourth political ad is a billboard advertisement that is a picture of a politician with his finger over his mouth saying "shhhh" It says "If cheating on your taxes is ok, so is..." And at the bottom it says "Life is short, have an affair." This ad is against people who cheat on there taxes or the tax system. The hidden assumption is that if cheating on your taxes so is cheating on your significant other. This is a weak analogy comparing two completely different things saying that the are the same and both are just as bad as each

Elections Ethos Pathos Logos

215 Words | 1 Pages

The ad contains several hidden techniques. The title is a lead to attract Democrats with the use of Pathos. It is used to induce fear in the democrats to make them feel as they may lose this election. The image also provides a hidden message; a stereotypical republican by interpretation is shown voting. From this image we can infer that Florida contains many people who share the similar views with trump and it being the first state to vote may cause people to alter their predictions as to who is going to be their next president.

However, ads that are meant to leave only an emotional impression upon the target audience are not beneficial and in fact can be dangerous because they may backfire. Resorting to negative campaign ads require candidates to give thoughtful consideration and careful presentation. The campaign ad in the form of the television commercial presented by candidate John Bell Edwards lacks any of the redeeming and helpful qualities of a negative

Overton Park Ethos Pathos Logos

1742 Words | 7 Pages

I seem to absorb advertisements quicker than I can process them; they breeze past any cognitive thought or qualifications and set up shop as doctrines for my life. Moreover, some advertisements are denied with twisted logic, like using brand loyalty to make decisions. In an effort to gain better understanding of advertising’s art of persuasion, I have been studying the rhetorical appeals and attempting to identify them in my daily ad intake. They are: pathos, an appeal to emotions; logos, an appeal to logic and reasoning; ethos, an appeal to credibility; and Kairos, the timeliness of the appeal. Recently, while walking through Overton Park, I came across a sign that advertises three park features: a zoo, art college, and art museum; rather

John Sample's The Fallacy Of Campaign Finance Reform

902 Words | 4 Pages

In the excerpt from “The Fallacy of Campaign Finance Reform”, John Samples argues that the passing of the McCain-Feingold Act is no means for celebration. Samples argues that money and Freedom of Speech, as well as other rights enunciated in the Constitution, are intertwined. Samples begins by examining the purposes of the McCain-Feingold Act. Although the law itself explains little about its purposes and the “special interest” influences it tried to reduce, supporters of the Act expected the law to accomplish many purposes. These purposes include curbing special interests, such as stopping the use of soft money as a means of buying influence, ending the appearance of corruption, and reducing some kinds of political advertising, such as issue ads, which target particular candidates in an attempt to influence the outcome of an election.

Debated proposals have included limiting independent expenditures, raising limits on individual contributions, banning all private campaign contributions, and creating a public financing campaign system.

Ronald Reagan's Morning In America

In 1984, it was again time to elect a president. Democrat Walter Mondale, former vice president under Jimmy Carter, was running against the current president, Ronald Reagan. Because of their lead in the polls, Reagan and his team decided not to attack Mondale, but to form a campaign based on being able to feel good about America again. Amongst the many commercials Reagan 's team did, "Morning in America" stands out as one of the greatest political ads ever. It created a sense that America was once again strong and Americans could feel secure in the knowledge that they were living in the greatest country in the world.

Savvy Voter Ad Analysis

202 Words | 1 Pages

As the elections get closer, Nevada's liberal candidate's ads are getting more and more agressive(attacking). In order to understand the mechanics of the campaign materials, I will use PBS " The savvy Voter: dissect an ad" structure. At first, the ad begins by showing a live prop( a senior) in conditions of dissadvantage- the same is being scamed over the phone( which is something quite viral amongst senior conversation talks recently). The lighting is a bit shaded and the individual is presented as voulnerable. At the background we can see how a "trickster" type of music is being played, whilst the senior is represented as a target, using a video-editing technique.

If used in the right way, it could be very effective in helping the planet. A healthy planet means a healthy

Rhetorical Analysis Of American Apparel Advertising

I say this because when I picked out this advertisement I thought that the clothes he is wearing were nice. I did not even notice that a girl had her legs split open by a guy. I also did not notice that the logo was over the guy’s private parts. After looking at the picture multiple times, I noticed these things and I thought the message changed. To me after I noticed these things it did not work.

Donald Trump Fallacies

734 Words | 3 Pages

Fallacies in political speeches: Donald Trump announces he is running for president. Donald Trump’s one very distinct “ability” is making a vast amount of people react to what he says. Be it good or bad, this makes him gain more attention not only in the United States, but all over the world. At the end of the day, what really matters is if his statements have, in fact, any effect on people’s votes. So for those who are not yet sure about his sincerity, it only takes a not to deep analysis of his speeches to spot serious fallacies.

Music Advertisement Analysis

The two advertisements that I picked were, the Bose Noise canceling Headphones which had the young boy being very loud on the left and then gradually getting quieter as it moved to the right until he was asleep on the floor. I chose these two advertisements for two different reasons. The first advertisement that I chose was the Loud Music advertisement, I chose this because as I was looking through the pictures it was the first one to catch my attention and I had to click on it. The Bose Noise Canceling Headphones was the second advertisement that I chose, I picked this one because I have always been a fan of high quality stereo, and Bose is well known for making really good audio headphones and home theater systems.
