Rhetorical Analysis Chipotle Mexican Grill

With the location and the community near the ad out of the way, the rhetorical appeals can better be explained. Those being logos, ethos, and pathos. To begin with, logos, or logic, tries to appeal to the intellect and mind of the target audience that they are trying to reach. In the case of this specific ad, the logic of this ad seems quite direct. In that if you prefer to eat chicken, you should visit Chick-fil-A, instead of the alternatives. Which in the case of this ad, it is almost a blunt statement. Since it directly tells the viewer to, eat more chicken. The next rhetorical appeal would be ethos, or appealing to ethics. Which tries to convince you that the author behind the ad is credible and an authority on the topic in question. In

Advertisements are everywhere. From billboards, to magazines, to newspapers, flyers and TV commercials, chances are that you won’t go a day without observing some sort of ad. In most cases, companies use these ads as persuasive tools, deploying rhetorical appeals—logos, pathos, and ethos—to move their audiences to think or act in a certain way. The two magazine ads featured here, both endorsing Pedigree products, serve as excellent examples of how these modes of persuasion are strategically used.

Writing rhetorically is often a hard task for writers to do, it’s also one of the best ways for the people reading your work to understand visually the message you are trying to describe to them. When writing in general the best thing you can do for the readers of your work is to describe the visual elements for them in a fun and intuitive matter. And Gustavo Arellano the author of “Taco USA: How Mexican Food Became More American Than Apple Pie” did exactly that. His use of different visual elements throughout the story was very well done and added a lot of great qualities to the text itself.

In his book Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All- American Meal, Eric Schlosser, an investigative journalist, argues that “the fast food industry has helped to transform not only the American diet, but also our landscape, economy, workforce, and popular culture” (3). He supports this claim by first describing the history of the fast food industry, then explaining the current condition of the chemistry and the labor in the industry. Schlosser’s purpose is to inform the consumer and describe the state of the fast food industry in order to call to attention the impacts of the industry on the lives of Americans and on America as a country. He establishes an optimistic tone in the beginning but then develops a gloomy tone for consumers to

Especially in the food industry, the buyers always had and always will have a very high power because of all of the variety the market can offer. A surprising thing about Chipotle customers is that their loyalty is based on how the food taste but as I mention before, consumers in generally want to change their food habit regularly, so it is not normal in this industry that a person eats more than three times a week in the same restaurant, that is why buyers here with

In Chipotles “The Scare Crow” it shows us the hidden truths of what fast food restaurants are feeding their customers. The commercial not only shows a fantasy world that mocked our real world situations and one of the biggest issues we have. Chipotle sends a message out in this commercial. The message is that they not only want us to be sure of the origin of the food we put in our mouth but also to try and goo back into raising crops and live stock the natural way. They show us this message by exploring our emotions and by giving us a taste of common sense.

In 1993, the first Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurant (pronounced chi-POAT-lay) in Denver, Colorado was opened by CEO and founder, Steve Ellis after he received $165,000 in investments from a bank loan and his father (Pederson). Ellis, a Culinary Institute of America grad and former chef, started the company’s first restaurant to raise money needed to one day operate his own full-service restaurant (Berta). The company’s menu includes burritos, tacos, salads and burrito bowls (burritos without the tortilla) made with customers’ choices of pork, shredded beef, chicken, steak, beans, veggies, and burrito condiments (sour cream, salsa, etc.) (annual report). When Chipotle was first established, Ellis did not like the restaurant’s closed

Mmmm. Mcdonalds. Whenever my parents decide not to cook and take me out to Mcdonald.i always get the sausage mcmuffin with eggs . Usually it does not take that long because except we go to the one downtown that takes forever because it always busy down there.I remember when me and my aunt went there one day and there was a long line my aunt got so mad.

Chipotle inappropriately handled this crisis because CEO Steve Ells and Co-CEO Monty Moran blamed the Center for Disease Control and the media for exaggerating the outbreak. Creating a public perception of Chipotle’s board members who did not showcase a clear motive for public health safety. After the E. coli outbreak, Moran made statements to Chipotle’s investors at an industry conference: “The media likes to write sensational headlines, you’ll probably see, you know, when somebody sneezes, Ah, it’s E. coli from Chipotle” (Colvin, 2015). Moran made another statement on Twitter ‘saying’ “CDC is working in an unorthodox way” (Wohl, 2015). Moran’s arrogant comments reflected a quality of an unconcerned CEO in the eyes of the public. In one of

Advertisements all have one purpose, which is to make a customer aware of them so that the product or message being advertised can be brought to their awareness. The goal of gaining a person’s attention towards a product so that it can be bought is often achieved by appealing to the author’s credibility. An example can be seen in the American Red Cross Poster reveals that by giving blood, it brings communities together and it helps save lives of many (Red Cross). It can be seen that credibility is trying to be gained by showing that the audiences best interest is being made by stating that the blood would help save other lives and people would be closer together. Another example of the appeal to ethos can be seen in a passage from the book

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of California consumers who bought food from Chipotle after April 27, 2015, says that the advertising campaign is deceptive and misleading because many menu items do contain GMOs and that the plaintiff was injured “by purchasing (or overpaying for) Chipotle’s Food Products” (page 18). and that “[p]laintiff would not have purchased Chipotle’s Food Products (or paid as much for it) had she known the truth” (page 19).

The fast food industry is an important element in the global market. While producing food with incredible speed and consistency, the institution of fast food has bloated to becoming one of the most powerful organizations around the world. In his article, “Good Food from the Good Earth: McDonald’s and the Commodification of the Environment,” Stephen Depoe focuses in on the franchise of McDonald’s and its effects on society, health, and environment. By applying the framework of McPerrow’s ‘critical rhetoric’, a theory that seeks to unmask the discourse of power, issues of corporate advocacy and organizational deviance become better identifiable and clear. According to Dopoe, “the discourse of power . . . creates and sustains the social practices

The first factor is Globalization: the world wide goal of using naturally raised standards, Chipotle had the main core value of customers and animals well being and stopped using hormones and antibiotics hormones on animals and started raising them on a free range on farmland: naturally raised animals. Secondly, Consumers: where Chipotle provided them with high quality, tasty and affordable. The third factor is competition: which varies with region, market, and restaurant. Chipotle face stiff completion from Panera Bread, chick-fill-A, Noodle and other companies. The completion is in the form of taste, quality, and speed of service, prices value, brand recognition, location, customer services and competitor condition. The other factor is marketing: the company focuses on word of mouth and strategic marketing promotions although it used radio and billboards Medias without television which was not genuine. Lately, the company has embarked on the sending messages on Twitter and Facebook, which is the modern marketing methods and also helps to reach a large population compared to the historical media. The company has the hope of finding a content delivery platform that would inspire consumers to become curious about where their food comes from, so as for customers to the idea of chipotle have the food with integrity.

Chipotle’s “Back to the Start” advertisement captures the sentiments of the audience by depicting Chipotle’s competitors’ practices as unethical. In both “Back to the Start” and the “Scarecrow” advertisements, Chipotle attempts to align itself with society’s growing belief that humane agriculture is better. Chipotle’s advertisements present their practices to be ethical, which sets its products apart from its competition. However, Chipotle’s message employs the same sentimental appeals and logical fallacies that are effective in their competitors’ advertisements.

The first rhetorical appeal that is being used in the advertisement is logos. The usage of logic in this advertisement seems very strong, the first logos in the advertisement is when they asked
