Advertisements are created for the purpose to persuade viewers, whether on television or Youtube, and after I have had the chance to analyze some advertisements, I really thought that the McDonald’s Sweet Chili Sauce commercial was the best one in terms of the impact on the audience. For example, the commercial opens up to a man walking up to a local McDonald's not knowing what to expect ,and walking in the McDonalds to discover many happy, talking customers enjoying the new McDonald’s Sweet Chili Sauce. Also, it was also mentioned the sauce was only available for a limited time, and is also a regular time food the Winter Olympians enjoy. Furthermore, the advertisers used so cleverly hidden advertisement techniques that also added to persuading

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.

Another woman brings up to a little girl how smoking can increase your risk of aging. This advertisement shows logos into play.

Smoking continues to be an increasing problem in both the United States and around the world. Advertisements of many types continue to aid in lowering the use of cigarettes by teenagers. In this advertisement, published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), many rhetorical devices are used to help appeal to the audience’s senses, understanding, and perception on smoking cigarettes. Using a young woman in the advertisement shifts the focus towards teenagers that smoke cigarettes, have thought about smoking, or have been around others that do smoke.

A T.V set may be more dangerous than the kitchen stove because not all the programs are desirable, which most Americans own a T.V set. There are many television critics, which I have heard critics express negative opinions about most of the programs on television. The chief objections are that television has raised the crime rate among young people and has caused students test scores to go down, which we let these programs into our house every night. In addition, many parents believe there is too much sex and violence on the shows, when networks put these shows on early in the evening. Indeed, the majority of the shows are full of fighting and killing, when networks offer these programs night after night.

“Smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in the U.S., killing over 1,300 people per day.” (ALA). I chose to talk about the harmful effects of tobacco products.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Every day, 3,800 youth younger than 18 years smoke their first cigarette.” Although smoking may appeal to many as a favorite pastime, it leaves drastic effects on a person’s health and everyday life.
