Bonnie Green, Chief Estimator, agreed that in a normal year only slight delays might develop due to a shortage of labor. However, she pointed out that for such a large project, the company would have to use unionized employees and that the construction industry labor agreements with New York City were to expire on October 30, 2004. Past experience and current construction activity in the surrounding area indicated that any union tradesman would support a strike against the city. Since this is a public project, she estimates that there is a 50% chance that they would strike this project to gain the attention of the national media.

"The armed forces are for you". "Join the armed forces". "Fight for your country". These are the slogans that today's youth hear and see all over the media. They hear nothing but the positive aspects of the armed forces. They never stop to think what kind of life that soldier lives when he/she returns home after their time served.

One modern military propaganda poster suggests that if you “train [t]here [you] can succeed anywhere” (US Army). These posters and slogans are specifically designed to recruit new military personnel by persuading the majority that the military supplies the proper training to ensure a soldier's success post war. This particular poster depicts a strong and fearless man protecting our country. These posters contain hierarchical scaling which makes the serviceman the center of attention and larger than everything else pictured. This intentional tactic leads to the soldier seeming more powerful and tough.

The United States Army is one of the oldest American institutions that has been around longer than the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The Army has many accomplishments throughout its time to include ending slavery and winning two world wars. The uniform of the army represents many things to the soldiers who serve, the families that support the soldiers, and the American citizens. The soldiers that are serving wear the uniform knowing that there will be hardships that they must overcome in their career. The Army families also have to endure the timely separations from their loved ones, not knowing if they will come home. The American citizens view soldiers as a form of pride and love for the country they swore to

In today’s world, ads have become a huge part of our everyday life. The Marine Corps is no different. The Marine Corps has always been known for their many ads used on many different platforms of media from TV, to social media, and as well in print. The tried and true motto used in all of them are the quote” The Few, The Proud, The Marines. This ad motto stands to a way of life and the toughness it takes to earn such a title. In reviewing this ad, it shows how the use of weasel words and other tactics the advertiser uses; this shows the purpose of the ad, the advertiser point of view, and what they assume the audience will think when coming across this ad.

Military advertisements are all different in having their own way of persuading an audience to enlist. Some ads may show more violence and killing, and some may show pictures of men in a shiny uniform and photos of Marines holding the flag. This particular U.S Marines advertisement is more persuasive as it

The commercial starts off with a blind beggar with a sign asking for money, trying to appeal to someone’s sense of pity with a sign pointing that out, and him not receiving much money, because of what we can only assume to be the general rule of thumb that states that people in commercials only show kindness in the latter half of the commercial. A young man comes up, writing something that remains unseen to the audience on the unused side of the board, which seems to catch people’s attention more and thus leads to him receiving more money. When the young man comes again, stopping for just enough time for the blind beggar to recognize him merely by his pants and shoes, he asks what he wrote on his sign, and the man responds with a general brushing aside of the question, replying with “I just rephrased your sign a bit.”, and by then the camera pans on to the sign, which says “The day is so lovely, shame I can’t see it.”

As the commercial begins, the moments tied with the music and the piano playing in the background gives it a powerful and emotional message. As the commander steps out of the vehicle carrying the brief case handing it to the president of Arab, the helicopter roaming above the field and the soldiers looking despaired, while the kids look as if they are running to safety, farmers looking above of what might happen or what is going to happen, the war tank driving around a post war abandoned building, the man hiding inside the building, and the soldiers in China uniformly standing still while the trucks pass by what seems to be carrying missiles. All these events gives you (the audience) the emotional feeling like war is about to happen. The music intensifies as what seems it’s about to start. The feelings are those of fear, patriotism, loyalty, political issues, and then everything changes when you see that the events you thought in your mind was the opposite. It sort of becomes of a sign of relief. The environment becomes rejoiceful, harmonious, and love. At the end of the commercial you realize that it’s about a strong body odor spray. Pathos with these events and the ending is persuading the man audience and that instead of war make

Within this advertisement logos is actually very simple to see and is stated right on the poster. On the poster it is states, “ There’s strong. And then there’s Army Strong. The strength that comes from the character, discipline and job training that the United States Army provided as well as money for college. You’ll earn the type of respect that goes beyond salute.” This is then followed by a website to learn more about the United

Lance may not have any plants that cast sparkling golden illumes, but he's still pretty proud of his balcony situation, white picket soaked in forest-greens and viridian and bursts of colour from overgrown ivy and potted anemones, caspias, roses, flora that he sure as heck doesn’t know the actual names of. He continues to lounge idly against the doorway and watches the way the terrariums hanging from the ceiling shift back and forth and make shadows against Keith, whose fingertips are now buried with soil as he regards Lance with eyes like solar systems and a dishevelled grin.
