It tells parents that it could be their child being hit. The slogan does an excellent job of creating an emotional response for its audience. Since the ad brings in a parent’s own child they are more likely to pay attention and take anyway something from the ad. If a person is going to be directly affected by something they are more likely to try and change an issue. By directly challenging parents to “think of both sides” the creates an emotional response that may cause parents to wonder how they would feel if it was their
The commercial starts out with a young boy riding his bike down the street. Sounding disappointed, he begins to name things he ‘won't’ ever be able to do; like riding a bike, catching cooties, traveling the world with his dog, and getting married. Standing in front of what we assume is his home, the little boy looks straight to the viewer and states, “I couldn’t grow up. Because I died in an accident.” The ad proceeds
So many other advertisements relied on the statistics of accidents occurring from texting while driving that it was viewed as a sort of failed tactic. It does utilize, however, logical reactions from the characters witnessing the car crash. This realistic situation is logical to viewers everywhere. In four short minutes, the video creates an emotional attachment to each of the characters. There are people of color, men, women, children—someone for everyone to relate to. For example, the man driving his truck sounds hopeful about the future while speaking with his wife. When these characters are suddenly thrown into this violent situation, many viewers may feel upset. AT&T is a well-respected cell phone company who could easily encourage as much cell phone usage as possible in order to gain more money from activities such as data usage, but instead promoting safety. This proves gives the author credibility by showing the audience that even such a large company truly cares about the well-being of the general public. The fact that they are working so hard to discourage texting while driving speaks volumes about the company’s
In 2016, Subaru rolled out an “I’m Sorry” commercials which aims towards the safety and reliability of their vehicles. This paper will cover how recents teen driving statistics might have caused Subaru to roll out this commercial. Subaru’s “I’m Sorry” commercial, shows teens calling their parents after they get in car accidents. The teens phone their fictional parents using a consistent message that they are “sorry.” The parents respond saying it’s okay, your safety is all that matters. Subaru’s clear intent in these commercials is to reach out to worried parents. This paper examines the ethos, logos, and pathos of this commercial. This paper will also explain how teen driving statistics have had an impact on both parents and car companies.
In an attempt to bring awareness about distracted driving to viewers, AT&T has decided to show a different perspective about the issue. Drivers who chose to display reckless behavior while driving are often viewed as careless, and irresponsible. However, many times even a responsible, caring person can make a bad decision and become distracted. This moment of bad judgment can lead to a tragic accident that will affect all those involved. The commercial The Unseen by AT&T used in their It Can Wait campaign is effective in getting their message across. Through the use of scare tactics and people’s emotions AT&T’s commercial; The Unseen is effective because it gets drivers to think twice before becoming distracted behind the wheel.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company’s Super Bowl advertisement, “#makesafehappen” released on February 1st, 2015, has received negative attention because of its morbid yet practical depiction of a young boy who has passed away due to a “preventable accident” before experiencing the life in which a teen or young adult would otherwise. The advertisement also uses the death of a young child to appeal to parents; especially the mothers, largely using pathos to raise awareness of deadly accidents which could otherwise be preventable. Logos and ethos, although weak in this advertisement, also raises awareness on preventing avoidable accidents.
There a drunken wine glasses that are being stacked in a row while the car is moving. After the 4th glass is stacked the car makes a turn and crashes with an incoming vehicle. I believe this ad was mildly effective. We had wine glasses and a car crash, so it does present the point of drunk driving, but besides that there is not much of a shock factor or silly humor to it.
The advertisement’s stylistic choice is effective due to how they tell a story and use supportive rhetorical techniques. First, Volkswagen does this by pulling people in with the rhetorical technique of pathos. By creating a scenario within the advertisement which consumers can relate to, the viewer tends to feel a sense of familiarity and emotional attachment. The scene in the commercial that acts as the strong emotional trigger is the final scene where the young boy uses the force on the car. Whether it’s a parent watching the commercial or someone thinking back to their own childhood, there’s a way they can relate to it. For parent’s watching the commercial, they might imagine a
A very effective piece of propaganda in that it captures the reader’s attention successfully by placing a picture of a child in the focal point of the advertisement. The child plays a vital role in this piece of propaganda in that it represents a loved one, family member and anything cherished. It shows what could be left behind, if a driver chooses to ignore safe driving. Choosing a sorrowful child’s face, further enhanced the emotions of the reader, as the advertisement would not have the same effect if an adult was shown instead. The advertisement also suggests that the driver has been negligent in his/her duty of care toward their family. This also instigates a number of feelings in the viewers mind about their family, and the result to their loved ones.
Overall, this commercial might give fathers ideas on what car is the right one for their child. Logos, ethos and pathos can be found in this Super Bowl commercial. Logos and ethos were used to mislead parents to buy the car in the future or in the present.Pathos was used transform feelings to the audience. Also, it would be controversial to say to buy this car because it might not be useful if parents are not able to track down their sons or daughters with a one mile radius or people have to have access through a Smart
Texting and driving was and continues to be one of the major factors of car accidents in America’s population. In the following advertisement named, “Phone in one hand, Ticket in the other” it is noted that texting and driving are frowned upon in our society, and the authorities are giving citizens tickets for texting and driving.

The ad was first campaigned April 2015 by NHTSA. There are two messages being portrayed in this advertisement. First, the text of the ad, gets the audience thinking about two possible consequences of texting and driving. Secondly, the images demonstrate what may take place if you are using a cell phone while on the road. Lastly, both the text and images work together to get the message across that if you are caught texting and driving, you will be ticketed, and the use of a cellular device while driving can lead to a car accident. The, “Phone in one hand, Ticket in the other” ad successfully portrays its reasoning for being invented, and I believe the presence of this ad will decrease the amounts of accidents in America.
