America the Beautiful During the Super Bowl season of 2014, the Coca-Cola “America the Beautiful” commercial has evolved into a big controversial issue in the media. This corporation advertised their product with a short commercial displaying images of the varied population of the United States while featuring children singing “America the Beautiful” in many different languages. They purposely emphasize how the people in the video are holding their coke products as they are happily dancing and enjoying their life in our nation. Even though Coca-Cola corporation has excellently applied logos, ethos, and pathos appeals to establish their supports toward diversity in America; they have failed to advertise the products as their commercial became …show more content…
The commercial emphasizes the logical truth of America by showing that this is a country contains many different people, with different races, religions, and ethnicities. People from different countries immigrate to America for many different reasons, and when they do, they become parts of the American citizens. As a global corporation, Coca-Cola is very smart to recognize that there are people from different countries in America, and appeal to everyone in America instead of just the U.S.-born Americans. By broadcasting this commercial, Coca-Cola wants to relay the massage that anyone is as important as others and want to bring everyone together through their products. Also,
Another logical reasoning contained in this commercial is that if one drinks Coca-Cola products, not only will he/she become part of the America, he/she will also complete his/her duty as an American

The music, activities, and facial expressions of the children and adults are purposely portrayed in the commercial to evoke positive emotions from the viewers. They feature the song. “America the Beautiful,” in different languages to help their products reach out to diverse people across the nation. Also, this advertisement captures moments of several people of different ages, genders, ethnicities, and religions happily interacting with each other on the American soil. This commercial creates the feelings of hopes, happiness, hope, and peace for their viewers. Their purpose is for everyone who lives in America, regardless of specific groups or ages, to be touched by this advertisement and rely their
Opinions coupled alongside historical accounts provide a lesson demonstrating the truths of Coke’s corporate greed. Elmore’s argument development progresses in a way that the reader becomes furthered dismayed as the history lesson goes on. Coca-Cola ravaged precious water resources in third world countries which eventually resulted in a scale of humanitarian crisis, yet today The Coca-Cola Foundation’s mission statement reads: “…[We have] Committed ourselves to improving the quality of life in the communities where we do business”. Television commercials depicting delight paired with the soft drink, Coca-Cola’s slogan of, “open happiness” along with massive international event sponsorships that universally are recognized currently label the company as having a positive impact in communities. Elmore’s arguments successfully connect the dots, illustrating to the reader on the dissolute framework which held together and lead to the rise in Coca-Cola’s present day
Persuasion is found all around us there is always someone trying to persuade you into doing something. For the Nabisco’s Oreo Commerical they are trying to persuade you to buy their cookies. To get their viewers to buy their product they use rhetorical principles. Within the Oreo commercial they use a question which do you like better, the cookie or the cream. The 2013 Super Bowl Oreo Commerical is effective for all ages of viewers.
Advertisements are one of many things that Americans cannot get away from. Every American sees an average of 3,000 advertisements a day; whether it’s on the television, radio, while surfing the internet, or while driving around town. Advertisements try to get consumers to buy their products by getting their attention. Most advertisements don’t have anything to do with the product itself. Every company has a different way of getting the public’s attention, but every advertisement has the same goal - to sell the product. Every advertisement tries to appeal to the audience by using ethos, pathos, and logos, while also focusing on who their audience is and the purpose of the ad. An example of this is a Charmin commercial where there is a bear who gets excited when he gets to use the toilet paper because it is so soft.
Walking through the door of Mrs. Saxton’s room in the beginning of September is like walking into a sauna on the sun. Waves of unbearable heat roll through the room and despite the efforts by the numerous amounts of fans, nothing can cool the occupants. Children and Mrs. Saxton alike despise the palpable warmth. It was this universal knowledge and shared disgust of the environment that gave us our inspiration for our pop: Chill soda. As we went through early drafts and ideas for our product, we wanted to come up with something that everyone could relate to, and Mrs. Saxton’s hot, sticky classroom seemed like the common ground we were looking for. Our thought was to create a product that would relate to the kids’ struggles and remove these troubles from our consumers. Thus, the idea for Chill was born. The main form of rhetoric we used was ethos- the idea of common ground and relatability with our focus group. Despite the lack
Coca- Cola has always been popular with America and in the 1950s; it became the main soda to drink during the 1950s and also the golden age for the product. One glass of Coca- Cola was only five cents. The soda was a symbol of social status. If you wanted to be refreshed and satisfied, then you have to drink Coca- Cola. Celebrities, actors, athletes, workers, kids and even Santa Claus had to have Coca- Cola in their hand. With the boom of television in households, Coca-Cola became more popular because of the advertisements contain relaxing and being comfortable with the soda in their hand. It became so appealing that Time’s Magazine stated that, “It is simpler, sharper evidence than the Marshall Plan, or a voice ...
... There is no true definition or language of an American. Coca Cola’s commercial clearly embraces the diversity that is embedded in American history, thus portraying the melting pot through the use of different languages. One of the reasons America is so beautiful is because we accept and embrace other nationalities. Conversely, the negative impact of the commercial depicts how America still has not moved past prejudice thinking’s, discrimination, and segregation.
PepsiCo with almost a 3-minute commercial using Kendall Jenner as the silent communication source, using visual language with all ethnic and race being included using career choices such as a cellist, a photographer and dancer; a song written and sung by Skip Marley “Lions”; not to mention the men in blue was expected to be a hit advertisement by showing it was time to bring the world together as one. To be able to bring peace and understanding to every individual or let it be shown that all people count, not just one ethnic group or race. This advertisement was used to try to defuse the conflict of street protest and the violence that often comes with it, particularly the black lives matter movement. Showing the men in blue there to protect and serve; yet will do whatever it takes to control the ongoing issue at hand. The way Jenner being shown ditching a high fashion photo shoot ripping off her blonde wig, to join a protest and prance around with every nationality with a Pepsi in hand smiling as saying this is what will make the world a better place. The words in the music “we
In the Time Magazine article “The Science of How Marketers (and Politicians) Manipulate Us” by consumer psychologist Kit Yarrow, she explains to target audiences that advertisements manipulate us through thoughts and emotions. Yarrow says that advertisers try to persuade audience’s choices by breaking down advance ads into simplistic ones. One essential part that Yarrow note is that the best marketers connect with our emotions and that it is effective to provide a safe environment. Apple demonstrated this example with the commercial “Barbers”, which is about people coexisting. The commercial plays with symbols that indicate a safe environment for people with different ethnicities and genders. By creating ethos, pathos, and logos, Apple attempt
Pathos, being the strategy most strongly used in this commercial, connects with the feelings of the audience. By featuring the commercial atop a green hill with a diverse group of people, Coca-Cola is showing that people of different cultures can come together in harmony, which aforementioned, was what people were looking for at this period in history. Not only the thought of harmony among groups of people, but the song that they sing together melodiously. When the commercial begins we see a young blonde woman begin the song, then she is joined by the rest of the crowd in singing, “I’d like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love…” along with other verses describing animals and pleasantries that would accompany them in furnishing this home. When we think of home, we think of a place where we can be loved and cared for, a place that is peaceful and pleasant (or this is what most people hope for), which is exactly what Coke describes to us as we watch enchanted by the beautiful voices of the people. Coca-Cola connects with us by evoking emotions of belongingness, love, peace and harmony amongst our fellow friends and people. This form of pathos is what really hooks the
Gatorade is a sports drink and nutritional supplement manufacturer that provides a line of products that athletes may use to hydrate, recover and fuel their body while they practice and compete in competitive sports. Gatorade, in their commercial “Your Game is Our Lab,” they claim, “This (athlete's place of training or competition) is our lab. It’s where we learn everything we know. Where we study the athletic body.” Many athletes consume Gatorade, but often do not know the importance of the company’s tactics in why they are consuming Gatorade’s line of sports fuel products. By understanding the company’s targeted audience and the Gatorade’s use of rhetorical appeals ethos (credibility), pathos (emotion), and logos (facts) in their video commercial
The video describes how our society may not even care about the product being advertised, but we still read the billboard or watch the commercial. Also mentioned was the use of colors in a commercial, the marketing effects in politics, and even market research obtained by studying different cults. Frontline takes an in-depth look at the multibillion-dollar “persuasion industries” of advertising and how this rhetoric affects everyone. So whether this is in the form of a television commercial or a billboard, pathos, logos, and ethos can be found in all advertisements.
The diet coke commercial uses pathos to persuade us. It's using pathos by showing a famous person to convince you. But in reality, Taylor swift doesn't drink diet coke when writing one of her songs. Sensodyne toothpaste commercial uses logos to make you think a little more logical. It makes you think more by showing a ¨dentist¨ to convince you that what he's saying is really true. The commercial wants you to think its trustable just because its a dentist so you could buy it to cure sensitive teeth.
Pepsi is a well known carbonated soft drink that is sold all around the world. With a net worth of millions, Pepsi has featured many famous artists in our society, including the late singer and songwriter Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson, who was already at the peak of his stardom, had partnered with Pepsi for a commercial specifically aimed towards the younger audience who they referred to the ‘new generation.’
There are a variety of beverages available to us today with a wide range of differences, some are flavored, carbonated, low calorie, energy boosters, and just plain water. When it comes down to carbonated drinks there are two major rivalry soda companies dominating the market. Coca Cola and Pepsi are two well know cola distributors with very credible history, but the question still remains one is America’s favorite? With the ongoing competition between Coca-Cola and Pepsi, each company is incorporating new strategies for marketing and advertising there brands. When comparing an advertisement from each of the companies, we will review how they appeal to consumers.
Coca-Cola is a well-known and cherished brand name. When people think of this name, memories tend to overflow in their heads. Why? Because, not only does Coke taste great and refresh your own personal memories, it also fills you with memories of the Coca-Cola like "Always Coca-Cola", the antics of the Coke polar bears, and all of the different ads that have represented Coke over the years. Just about every ad you see, as a consumer, will have tons of hidden meanings. Coca-Cola may not always intend to present the same hidden meanings, but will always intend for their audience to see a commercial and hopefully crave a Coke product. I found a Diet Coke ad that really caught my eye in the August issue of Southern Living, a magazine for women. The ad, titled High School Reunion, pictured four Coke bottles in a diagonal line. The first bottle, a new unopened Diet Coke bottle, is pictured at the top left-hand corner of the page. The next two Diet Coke bottles are supposedly being consumed. At the bottom right hand corner of the ad page you see the bottle is empty. This reveals the conversation of a young woman contemplating the plans for her high school reunion. Over all Coca-Cola is believed to put these claims, supports, and warrants in their ads to make their product more appealing to the consumer.
