Trust Your Power Within
The purpose of a commercial is to strike an emotional, ethical, or logical response from the target audience. The ad forces people to say yes or no. Not all commercials are explicitly selling a product, but the premise is still the same, like a campaign for example. I found one commercial that appeals to almost everyone. Duracell's ad about Derrick Coleman is sixty seconds of inspiring self empowerment. Throughout this essay I will dive deeper into the context of the ad, revealing underlying messages, production techniques, historical similarities, and responses from different people.
First, allow me to give you a synopsis of the ad so you have some context to work with. The commercial starts out showing Derrick Coleman walking through the tunnel at Century Link Field where the Seattle Seahawks play professional football. The ad cuts to a shot of his hearing aid and then Derrick himself begins to narrate the ad. He takes you from the troubles of his childhood through his high school football days. You can see people talking to him, but the sounds of the words are muted. He talks about how he thought his days playing football were over when he wasn’t drafted in the 2012 NFL Draft. He never let go of his dream and impressed Seattle Seahawks coaches in a tryout. The ad cuts back to Century Link Field, home of the 12th man. If you’re not a football aficionado this might seem like an odd characterization. The 12th man refers to the fans of the Seattle
Through rational argument, Emerson stresses that you must trust yourself to achieve greatness from your own genius, to realize your potential, and to be self-reliant. Your inner genius, when tapped into, allows you to build self-reliance. This follows, similarly, the principles of individualism. Emerson uses rhetoric to explain that through trusting yourself, society, and God, you can truly be a self-reliant individual.
What is individualism? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as, “(1) a
Some people say that any change is for good, and that an idea is immortal. That is only true when the idea serves well for the current generation. For when a certain thought displeases the men in power, they make sure it is forgotten. If one tries to think of an example, he would rarely think of something from the top of his head. Many great concepts like the original "Capitalism" by Marks were perverted and shown in the wrong colours. But the one school of thought that is especially relevant today
feeling that exist without spoken words. This is a form of trust. The child solely depends and believes that the mother will always be there to cater to any needs and protect them at all cost. Although this is trust in its simplest form, trust can have a different concept to various individuals. Trust defined by most dictionaries would be to; have faith in, have confidence in, depend upon, have belief in, et cetera. Therefore, I believe trust to be the absolute certainty in someone or something, to

Both men had very different views from one another, yet at the same time they did indeed have many similarities.

views on power that are still somewhat in existent today. Machiavelli discusses in this work power over the people, oppressive power, and shared power. Machiavelli discusses two specific groups of people such as the political elite and the general public within this work.

There are many things people do not get to choose, how tall they are or where they are born, but character is a choice that can be made by anyone. “Trust is essential when working with people. Character engenders trust.” (Maxwell 44) People tend to fall into three categories: those who don’t succeed, those who succeed temporarily, and those who remain successful. To have a quality character will help to remain successful throughout
