Living in the modern world full of people trying to persuade, sell or advocate for many different things people usually do not pay attention to what they are perceiving subconsciously. When viewing an advertisement like that of the Candie’s Foundation, whose mission is to create awareness of teen pregnancy and safe sex, cannot be overlooked because of the strong persuasion used in the Candie’s advertisement. Though there are many forms of advertising, the basic foundations of a good argument are ethos, pathos, and logos. This ad for Candie’s Foundation embodies all three of these basic foundations which makes the ad persuasive to the reader because it not only appeals to the viewer in an emotional way but also catches the viewers attention in an educational way because of the information displayed about being a “statistic”. Candie’s Foundation is a well known non-profit organization whose mission is to reconstruct the perspective of America’s youth about teen pregnancy and parenthood.
Ethos is the ethical appeal to an audience through the authors credibility or character. In this advertising the credibility is put upon Bristol Palin. This advertisement’s statistic provides teens with an abundance of information to make the educated assumption that being a teen mom is difficult. According to their website, the research displayed has shown that teen girls who have been exposed to this advertisement, and ones similar to it, are more likely to see teen motherhood as stressful and negative. This research is credible based off of the fact that it came from the Candie’s website. Moreover, young ladies that have been exposed to this advertisement believe teens should wait longer to have intercourse, as compared to those who have bee...

...sexual intercourse, so that they do not become teen mothers like Bristol and go through the struggles she had.
When pathos, logos, and ethos all contribute to emphasizing the advertisement and its main points. Within this Candie’s Foundation advertisement, the audience can clearly tell that the point is to educate young teen girls on the probability of teen pregnancy, which portrays logos in the second sentence of the quote. Bristol Palin is the spokesperson for this ad which gives it credibility on the fact that she is in the public eye and a teen mother herself. The emotional connection is evident in the way she is dressed and the distraught face they chose for the photo advertisement. This campaign aims to raise awareness among teenage girls about sex and to motivate them to prevent getting pregnant. This message is properly executed by the Candie’s foundation.

  • Use of Pathos in an Ad Commercial

    737 Words  | 2 Pages

    The advertisement of the Office of National Drug Control Policy strongly persuades the reader not to dabble with marijuana. In the image, the close-up of a crooked bicycle wheel sits on an asphalt road. At first glance, maybe the reader does not recognize what the image explains the reader and what is about. However, the viewer figures that there is a sad story in the ad. The viewer reads the story of this wheel on the upper right hand corner of the picture. Then the viewer understands that this advertisement is about marijuana. In this advertisement, Pathos, which is used for emotional appeal, is embedded efficiently. Also, it is the best choice for this anti-drug ad and more suitable than ethos or logos because appealing to person’s character or logic do not work so much for the marijuana addicts. That is why this image successfully persuades people who disregard the risks of marijuana.

    In a consumer-driven society, advertisements invade the minds of every person who owns any piece of technology that can connect to the internet. Killbourne observes that “sex in advertising is pornographic because it dehumanizes and objectifies people, especially women,” (271). Advertising takes the societal ideology of women and stereotypes most kids grow up learning and play on the nerves of everyone trying to evoke a reaction out of potential customers, one that results in them buying products.

    In June of 2014, the wireless company, Verizon, in partnership with Makers, an online video platform that promotes the sharing of stories about powerful women, launched an advertisement campaign called “Inspire Her Mind” to promote the Verizon Foundation. But ultimately the advertisement focuses on sharing the story of one young girl on her path into science and how she faces a bias because she is female. The advertisement focuses on Samantha, who enjoys nature, science, and being outside. The first clip shows her as a baby and her mother is cooing and calling her a “pretty girl.” Then, it shows her when she is around five years old playing in a creek and her mom calls out “Sammy sweetie, don’t get your dress dirty.” Next, she is a little older and she is outside on a beach looking at a starfish and her dad says “Sam, Honey, you don’t want to mess with that.” Sam still does not become discouraged

  • Example Of Ethos Pathos Logos

    We see ads everywhere though-out our day even if we know it or not. Ads that make an attempt to persuade us one way or another. It could be to persuade someone into buying a product or even helping children that are in need. Either way, all these ads use certain persuasive methods, which include ethos, pathos or, logos, to get peoples attention. I saw an ad created by the National Association for Gun Rights. Obviously this ad is trying to let people that we have a right to have own guns. The ad shows a woman pointing a gun with the words “Mama didn’t raise a victim”. I’ve decided that the author was targeting woman that can presumably be victims of assault/abuse at any time. Given this information, the author is using pathos to let us know of the dangers that can be encountered at any given time as well as ethos because of the organization promoting the ad and even a bit of logos.

    In conclusion the ad shows its appeal to logos, pathos, and ethos by having a woman on it and having her state her opinion. By having the character state her opinion it will make people who see this ad think about the issue at hand. In addition to that the ad uses a simple but effective way to capture the audience’s attention. It captures attention by using a well-known character, a short but effecting statement, and a simple color scheme to draw attention. Doing so helps grab the reader and then further deliver the message of pro-choice and that it’s a woman’s choice to do with her body as she pleases.

    Advertisements often employ many different methods of persuading a potential consumer. The vast majority of persuasive methods can be classified into three modes. These modes are ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos makes an appeal of character or personality. Pathos makes an appeal to the emotions. And logos appeals to reason or logic. This fascinating system of classification, first invented by Aristotle, remains valid even today. Let's explore how this system can be applied to a modern magazine advertisement.

  • The Exploitation Of Children In Television Advertising

    4398 Words  | 9 Pages

    Across America in homes, schools, and businesses, sits advertisers' mass marketing tool, the television, usurping freedoms from children and their parents and changing American culture. Virtually an entire nation has surrendered itself wholesale to a medium for selling. Advertisers, within the constraints of the law, use their thirty-second commercials to target America's youth to be the decision-makers, convincing their parents to buy the advertised toys, foods, drinks, clothes, and other products. Inherent in this targeting, especially of the very young, are the advertisers; fostering the youth's loyalty to brands, creating among the children a loss of individuality and self-sufficiency, denying them the ability to explore and create but instead often encouraging poor health habits. The children demanding advertiser's products are influencing economic hardships in many families today. These children, targeted by advertisers, are so vulnerable to trickery, are so mentally and emotionally unable to understand reality because they lack the cognitive reasoning skills needed to be skeptical of advertisements. Children spend thousands of hours captivated by various advertising tactics and do not understand their subtleties.

  • Teaching Sex Education in Schools

    2307 Words  | 5 Pages

    The condoms display in the Hidden Heroes: the Genius of Everyday Things exhibit is a showcase that would cause an individual to wonder about adolescents’ overall knowledge of human sexuality. In today’s society, children are susceptible to learning about such a delicate topic not only from their families and peers, but through the media as well. These sources often provide misrepresentations of the information due to ignorance and biased views. Therefore, in order to inform individuals more accurately, sex education programs have been created with the intention to be implemented into schools across the country. This has led up to being one of the most controversial issues hovering over educational institutions, where the inclusion of such programs has been hotly debated. However, recently, the dispute is not so much about whether sex education should be taught in schools, but rather what content should be taught and what approach should be taken.
