Commercialisation Of Sports For The United States

Homecoming is one of the most important and celebrated week at college. Homecoming is an American tradition named from “coming home” (Huynh, T 2015, October 21). One of the first colleges to have a homecoming was Harvard. It was during a football game against Yale that they invited back their Alumnis in the 1870s (Cramton, I. n.d.). The Harvard vs. Yale homecoming was to get together and have a good time there at the game while everyone catch up and celebrate their school pride. For most colleges, homecoming week provides a week long of activities for students on campus. Student Events Team or other students involvement club will hold parties, parades, rallies, football games, and concerts that week. Every school is different and will do something

Every day, companies present the people with advertisements everywhere they go. Advertisements have become very prevalent in today’s society nowadays focusing in on a negative connotation. Advertisement has become an effective way for producers to display their new products. In present day, they come in forms of billboards, flyers, e-mails, and even text messages. It is widely known that companies create advertisements to persuade people to buy specific products or goods; however, it is not widely known that advertisements can make a negative impact on today’s society. The companies manipulate people’s mind and emotions, swaying people by new promotions and therefore generating a strong desire to fit into the society, that causes them to make inessential expenditures. Advertisements pose a critical impact on the American culture.

“We basically do most of everything during Homecoming week, It's a really fun group there's energy in the room when they get pretty pumped up we sometimes,” Aaron Rudebusch, student council adviser, said.

Homecoming is filled with tradition, however, this year several new activities were added to make the week more exciting than ever. To make the week a success required meticulous planning and the experience of several veterans. The theme, “Nightmare on Elm Street”, provided for the most anticipated addition, a haunted house after the football game.

In today’s society there are a plethora of ideas about advertisement. What would it take to meet societies want’s with the increase in advertising of new technology? In regards to four articles: “What’s Changed” by , Jane Hammerslough, “Urban Warfare” by, Kate MacArthur & Hilary Chura, “The Age of Reason” by, Kenneth Hein, “The Buzz on Buzz” by, Renee Dye. These four authors describe the many different angles that can be approached by advertisement. They have also shown some great aspects of the new uprising development of advertising technology in modern American society.

The average United States Citizen views about 5000 advertisements a day (Johnson). Advertising is everywhere. Billboards on the way to work, ads on the internet, and paper products such as magazines or newspapers display a sale or a promotion of a good or service. Usually, the ad will give a brand or company name, and uses the product’s merits to draw the consumer closer. This has grown exponentially as advertisements in media in 1970 were estimated to be 500 a day, a ten percent increase in the last 48 years. (Johnson). This is due to the rise of technology, as the computer has become a household gadget within the new millenium. These advertisements are meant to give a synopsis of the product or service’s purpose, quality, and efficiency. If a consumer views 5000 advertisements in a single day and assuming the commercials do not repeat, 5000 goods or services are introduced. With more options to choose from in such little time, the consumer has a harder time differentiating the quality and perhaps necessity of the product. The marketers rely on the quick, impulsive decision making of consumers. With the misleading nature of many infomercials or radio broadcasts, the people of American society are bombarded with constant propaganda, thus making seemingly harmless promotions more potent to filling industries’ pockets and lessening the common population’s

Despite the challenges of constructing the floats and collaborating with other groups, I believe pomping, and homecoming as a whole, is an important part of both Greek life and student life at Florida State University. Along with working hard it also brings great bonding time and friendships that will last a life

Back to the 70’s the biggest campaign was using sodas, like 7UP's "Un-Cola”, Coca-Cola and Pepsi. We also see more advertisement on television and marketing teams looking at trends to see how and why such campaigns worked and which were flops. Moving into the 80’s and 90’s we see that computers are slowly starting taking over advertisement. It isn’t until the 2000’s when we start to see more and more marketing strategies and in the 2010’s we see that platforms such as Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter start to influence and branch out to different

Panther Pride! My hometown, Quakertown, never has a shortage of Panther Pride. It’s never hard to find someone wearing royal blue or a sports jersey. Personally, I take the colors and uniform I wear very seriously. As a cheerleader, my responsibility is to increase the school spirit, not just at games, but in the building as well. We paint signs, perform at pep rallies, sell T shirts, and support our teams as well as preparing for our own competitions. I love being a part of my school spirit all year long, but my favorite tradition happens the night before Thanksgiving. My school has an annual game on Thanksgiving morning against our biggest rivals in football. The night before the game the cheer squad drives around town, while our football
