Most parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or anyone else would agree that soda is not the appropriate thing to give to your child for a drink. This advertisement preaches that not only does making a single choice make it acceptable but making the smarter choice is better. Would you want your kids getting all the bad things that they get from soda or would you want them drinking something like Kool-Aid that doesn’t have any carbonation, is high in vitamin C, and is guaranteed to make your child happy by just making the right choice and drinking Kool-Aid? This Kool-Aid ad explicitly sells Kool-Aid, but it implicitly sells a smarter choice between Kool-Aid and pop to parents of young children. If you were a parent would you want your child making …show more content…
the smarter choice? When you first get a glimpse of the kool-aid ad it is intriguing to the eye.
The pitcher of Kool-Aid, with a smiley face on the outside represents a good, healthy, refreshing thirst quencher. The bottles of soda in the background of the picture emphasize the Kool-Aid pitcher and makes it stand out more. Notice the small print on the ad gives you a reason for picking the Kool-Aid. The small print makes sure that you understand that it is the healthier choice between the two drinks. One states that Kool-Aid has no carbonation. Another one states that the Kool-Aid has vitamin C and soda does not. When you look at the advertisement it shows a pitcher and not single bottles like the pop in the background. Due to it being a pitcher you can share with other individuals. Kool-Aid is making sure that you can bring everyone together by drinking Kool-Aid, a more healthy and happy …show more content…
choice. This advertisement for Kool-Aid doesn’t necessarily have a certain age group that they are targeting. But if I were were to pick someone that it effects, I would say parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or anyone else that is with young children most of the time. Most parents aren't going to let their child have pop at a young age so they are going to compare those by looking at the advertisement. By looking at the advertisement they see that they should make the smarter choice by buying the Kool-Aid at the store instead of buying the pop. If the children aren't old enough to make the best decision for themselves, it’s important that their legal guardian is doing it for them. This certain ad doesn’t have any effect on whether you are male or female, what your race is, your education, or marital status. Age might have a bigger impact on the ad than those listed before. Kool-Aid is making sure that it doesn’t affect any of the above so that anyone and everyone can enjoy the happiness that you have when you sit down with Kool-Aid. The advertisement uses a big smiley face on the center of the glass pitcher as a logo to emphasize the happy, healthy, smart, all around perfect look on Kool-Aid.
The other logos are on pop bottles in the background such as Coca Cola, Mountain Dew, RC, and Doctor Pepper. Those logos represent how pop has tons of sugar and how unhealthy it is for you. The logo in the bottom right hand corner shows that the pitcher of Kool-Aid will go a lot further than buying the single pops in the back. Instead you can all share your Kool-Aid and it makes enough for everyone. In that case the Kool-Aid is promoting communication, family time, clubs, or even teams that might sit down and have a nice conversation while they drink some Kool-Aid after a long
day. Emotional appeals would be the obvious big smiley face on the outside of the pitcher. They’re for sure promoting that Kool-Aid is good for you, healthy for you, and all around just the universal smiley face, meaning that the product is simply great. People automatically relate the big smiley face on the front of the Kool-Aid pitcher to everyone thinking that if they drink the Kool-Aid they will be happy and feel they made the overall great and healthy choice. Some ethical appeals in this advertisement would be leaning towards the Kool-Aid corporation making sure that Kool-Aid is happy. They represent that they are trying to care about your family, family time, your health and more. They are trying to represent that this product is healthy, happy and has a good taste. Looking at the ad you can tell that the attitude in the advertisement is making better choices and are healthier for parents and their children. The pitcher of Kool-Aid gives the parents the thought of being together as a family. The pitcher is smiling and it makes you think that family time is always a great thing when there is Kool-Aid. The advertisement also mentions that it is about half the price to buy the sweetened sugar instead of soda. It makes a lot more servings than one of bottle pop. "Kool-Aid Brand Soft Drink Mix has those big fruity flavors kids love. Hugs and kisses guaranteed!” I might argue that drinking soda can be bad for you but kook-aid still isn’t the best option for young kids to be drinking. Hint, the sweetened sugar. They compare that Kool-aid has vitamin C, but comparing the labels from pop, or even juice of some sort are possibly better than drinking sugar mixed with water. This advertisement was not found in a certain magazine or in the mail. The Kool-Aid advertisement was found online that I found on google images. Beliefs of the advertisement is that the choice that you are given and the trust that they want you to make the best decision for both them and you. Your health, your children, your grandchildren and more. Some of the values that are visible in the advertisement is that making smart decisions is really important and making the choice between soda and Kool-aid and what is more healthier for you or your children. The other values are that sharing is caring. Taking time out of your day for some family time or sitting down and talking with family and friends is also important. Health has become a very big thing in today’s society and Kool-Aid is trying to make sure that you are making a good choice, and a smart choice by choosing the best for your health. They want you to pick the vitamin C instead of the bad sugars that are highly found in soda that children drink. Some cultural things are that when you are a kid the go to the store or to a game or something of that region they are always wanting pop. The hope of the advertisement is trying to reinvent the idea of kids that always want a pop to look at the choices and want Kool-Aid instead of wanting the normal soda.
Coca-Cola is no stranger to unique and creative advertisements. Over the past years, Coca-Cola has replaced their well-known logo with popular names. By personalizing their products, Coca-Cola has appealed to a larger range of consumers. One commercial I have watched on television is the ‘Share a Coke: Break the Ice” Coca-Cola commercial. The commercial includes two young people meeting and breaking the ice by sharing a coke with their names on it. I believe Coca-Cola is trying to send the message of sharing a coke with others. This commercial does not have a lot of speaking but the body language is very strong. This makes viewers feel excited and curious to see what will happen. I find this commercial to be very effective. The idea to have names on the bottles is very creative. If I were to see my name on a bottle, I would defiantly want to purchase the
The want for money drastically affected the Younger’s and changed their lives for the worst. In Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, A family in 1950s Chicago want for money was putting a negative strain on the family.
Have you ever felt stuck? Wherever you are, it’s the absolute last place you want to be. In the book Into the Wild, Chris McCandless feels stuck just like the average everyday person may feel. Chris finds his escape plan to the situation and feels he will free himself by going off to the wild. I agree with the author that Chris McCandless wasn’t a crazy person, a sociopath, or an outcast because he got along with many people very well, but he did seem somewhat incompetent, even though he survived for quite some time.
The definition of grit is simple; it means being passionate about long term goals, and showing stamina to pursue them, but should students in public schools have a class dedicated to a grit-focused curriculum? This has become a major topic of discussion among teachers and mentors. Angela Duckworth, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, claims grit is not a fixed quality but one that can be developed. Many disagree with her statement. Grit is something everyone all have within themselves, but some just do not utilize this characteristic as often or as well as others. Grit is a puzzling concept. Duckworth has had an obsession with grit for over a decade. Her obsession started when she visited West Point,
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
In Annie Leonard's video “The Story of Bottled Water,” she introduces her audience into the downfalls of continuing to buy bottled water instead of just using tap water. Annie Leonard did an extraordinary job of convincing her audience that bottled water isn't a healthy alternative to tap water through an effective balance of logos and pathos appeals. She starts by explaining why we don't need watered bottles because they are less quality and less regulated than tap water. Annie Leonard then disputes the cost of bottled water compared to the cost of tap water. Annie Leonard applies many logos appeals in her video involving bottled water by questioning the audience and asking direct questions that need common sense to answer. She also endorses powerful pathos appeals to connect directly to her audience throughout the video.
Coca-cola wants to create frustration and anxiety in their ad, which might catches more attention, but it’s not an agreeable strategy. The companies didn’t either share the same audience target. Pepsi targeted adults and Cola targeted women, but the main-idea was to obstruct the rival.
“Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature”. From the beginning of time man and nature has been in conflict with one another because, as a whole, there is no cooperating. Each one tirelessly wants its way. The Man is fighting for dominance and nature w never yielding its authority. In American Literature, many authors illustrate this theme in their writing. Specifically the writers Jack London in The Law Of Life, Stephen Crane The Open Boat and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Fin. Each explores the relationship between humans and nature but with slightly different methods. Mark Twain uses nature in a realistic way, Jack London in a naturalistic way and Stephen Crane constitutes a combination of both.
Every day, more and more attempts of banning books and taking away the rights of our First Amendment get violated. The challenging of a book is the attempt to remove or restrict materials, and the banning is the removal of these materials. I believe that books should not be banned for these reasons.
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
What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.
This is the final way that ads use to influence audiences to buy their product over another. The Pepsi ad provides a website that onlookers may visit if they wish to learn more about the “Pepsi Refresh Project.” By citing this website the ad has appealed to audience’s logical reasoning. However, unlike the Pepsi ad, the coke ad provides its fact on the advertisement. The ad informs readers that coca cola has been around for over 84 years. This is a better way to appeal to a person logical understanding, because the information is right there, and they do not have to go to a website to find information about the product. Overall, both advertisements provide information about their product in an attempt to persuade audiences to buy either Pepsi or Coca
This advertisement makes Diet Coke popular because it focuses on why the consumers drink the product; it 's refreshing and does not cause weight gain. This is proved in the advertisement because the women portrayed are happy and having a good time while sharing a Diet Coke, which leads the consumers to believe that they should buy a Diet Coke as well. This association increases sales and helps improve the overall market
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.
