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.

Open Happiness

While at the movie theaters to see The Maze Runner , I saw a commercial that featured rhetoric. The commercial begins with a young woman named Jess purchasing two Coca Cola drinks in a convenience store. One has her own name on it, and one has the name of her friend Alisha on it. The cashier watches her forlornly as she leaves, hinting that he has a crush on his customer. Jess gives the Coke with Alisha’s name on it to her friend, and together the two friends drink them. Later, Jess, Alisha and two other friends come back into the store to buy more Coke, then leave and have a good time together. Jess keeps coming back to the store with more and more friends, each time purchasing Coca Cola with their names printed on the labels. The cashier smiles and watches, but it is clear that he wishes he was with Jess.  Finally, as the cashier is closing the store for the night, Jess shows up at the door with a Coke that has the name Chris on it. She smiles and hands the drink to the ...

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...

Is Hip Hop a Cancer or a Cure?

The speech I watched was a Ted Talk presented by one of my favorite music artists, who just so happens to be a Christian rapper.  This rapper’s name is Lecrae Moore, but he just goes by Lecrae.  Over the past five years or so, Lecrae has been able to break out of the small box that Christian music and Christian rap have been put in, and he has been able to get his music out to all types of crowds.  So I was actually pretty excited when I saw that he had spoken at a Ted Talk in Nashville.  The speech he delivered was titled, “Heroes and Villains: Is Hip-Hop a Cancer or a Cure?”  In this speech Lecrae talked about how it is easy to look at certain people in history and label them as heroes or villains, but he talks about how not everyone views historical figures the same.  Lecrae started off by defining where we get the words, “Hero” and “Villain”.  Knowing the origin of these words really gave good context for what came to follow.  He then went o...
