Samsung Galaxy Note 7

I was thinking about which commercial I should do for the commercial blog post, and my brain enlightened about Samsung Note 7 which currently has a lot of issues all around the world. The commercial started out saying "We went on a mission to create not just a big phone, but a phone helps you do big things." Next, it described how it is curved both sides, and how that is effective when people hold the phone, it is comfortable and good looking on their hand. The announcer said that the phone has 5.7” dual curved screen, and various color. The announcer introduces ‘S pen’ that is more sensitive and useful. Therefore when you use it, it can translate in your language, it can crop parts of a video, and write a note on top of the screen. The phone is water resistant, also as S pen, too. Finally, the announcer emphasized security of the phone, it can lock and unlock your phone or secure folders with your eyes. The commercial advertised Samsung’s smart watch, wireless headphone, and 360 camera. And it ended the commercial saying, “You need the smartphone that thinks big.”

The commercial was trying to persuade people to think to get the phone which was their final goal. First, those amazing security, recognition of eyes, it looked incredible because other Samsung phones, or I phones, they don’t have eye recognition security. And it could be very useful in some cases such as when your hands are dirty. Second, they were advertising other accessories of the phone, such as 360 cameras, and wireless headphone. Personally, I love music and taking a picture, and it was really hard to just watch it without buying it. It also showed how phone is useful in different, various cases, such as for business, entertainment, and exercising. Therefore, it pointed out good benefits from Galaxy note 7 to persuade the phone is worth it.

The commercial’s arguments was logical, and very persuasive. It advertised Galaxy Note 7’s new feature that other phone doesn’t have, and have combination of good functions, such as eyes recognition, water resistance, and S pen. For advertising good features of the product make people to buy them, because since it is new phone, most vast of the people are interested in new phone, and the product’s functions are amazing. However, the safety was really bad which they didn’t mention it in the advertisement. Past couple months after they introduced Galaxy Note 7, there were a lot of accidents about the phone blowing up. So they failed logic safety. But overall, when I just watched that commercial, I would be persuaded by it, and if I had money, I would buy it.

    I think that in our society we view any new technology as something we have to have. So even though the phones were blowing up and that commercial was still airing, I feel like people would still buy it anyways just to follow the social craze over it.

Wiener Stampede

In this Heinz condiments commercial, aired during the Super Bowl this past year, a group of dachshunds are shown in hot dog costumes running towards humans in Heinz ketchup and mustard costumes who end up catching the dogs as they leap into the humans’ arms and lick their faces. This commercial is a specific appeal to pathos as the dogs are dressed up and are meant to be cute. The phrase at the end of the commercial is “it’s hard to resist great taste” and this is stated while the dogs are licking the humans implying that the dogs like Heinz and that humans should buy it as well because the cute dogs in costumes did.

Marilyn Monroe's Shampoo

While browsing on Google I found an old advertisement.  The ad was for Lustre-Crème Shampoo. It featured Marilyn Monroe, known for her beauteous looks and her parts in different movies. One of her movies was Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Lustre-Crème was attempting to sell their shampoo through the use of fallacies. By saying that Marilyn Monroe that tells you nothing about the actual product: it simply attracts you to the pretty face in the picture. Using this as an argument of why someone should buy your product is quite illogical. Just because Marilyn Monroe uses it doesn’t provide assurance of its abilities. They attempt using snob appeal by trying to make the audience believe that they could be like Marilyn Monroe if they use the same product as her. They use appeal to illegitimate authority by using Marilyn Monroe to promote their product. Although she herself is a customer, this is still rather irrelevant. She herself has no type of expertise in hair products and knows nothing t...

Weight of Glory

In Mr. Cline's class a few weeks ago. We took the day off in a way from our normal classes. Instead of continuing to read the books we were assigned and discussing them, he read us the sermon by C.S Lewis "The Weight of Glory." Its a long sermon, but one worth reading. It is about the confusion many people have on the topic of what we desire the most. He explains after much background information, that we all desire true happiness. And through that happiness, we long for heaven, our true home that we were designed for. He explains that glory is not what many people think of as being "famous" in heaven. But more that we are honored by our Lord and Father. For it to be like the scripture passage "Well done, good and faithful servant." C.S Lewis does a fantastic job at being persuasive here, and if read by the right person aloud, can have an excellent effect. He clears up lots of points that people bring up that are not true. Such as the point of glory...
