I first want to say I will not being spoiling any part of this movie and believe everyone should go see this amazing movie. Throughout this movie there was tons of ad placement from the cars to the different types of technology. They used different cars to show what was going to happen in the scene. This made me as someone watching to say wow if Iron man drives that cars it must be really fancy or nice. Or to see a normal citizen using a certain kind of phone to make me think of myself as the norm. This use of ads hidden inside the movie so that you don’t even realize it's there but that you will always remember the product used. From this use of many commercials in this movie as well as how the movie theater found ways to sell many thing from inside the movie. From how each drink cup and tub of popcorn was advertised with this new movie and the different characters. Also, how they made an entire gift shop towards this movie so that you will buy little action figures and more. Th

In Critical thinking we have been learning about many common advertising techniques and how ad companies try and get your attention. We learned over 18 different techniques that ad companies use like weasel words, patriotism, and plain folks appeal. All these techniques are used to grab your attention and persuade you to think about their item and or to buy their item. One ad that grabbed my attention this week was the Geico commercial where the gecko imagines what he would do if he had the power of the infinity gauntlet. What he would do is make it so each person could save as much money as possible on insurance. With Avengers Endgame being the big hit of the month this advertisement intrigues many people while also tell you what the company is all about. This ad company use Testimonial technique to use the big movie of the year to intrigue people to think about there company when they see this movie and or think of this concept. This is one of many ways ad companies get you to make y

When i think about advertisement that tries and persuade me to pick there item over competitors is places like Samsung. Apple has taken over as the big phone market so Samsung is playing catchup. Every commercial for a new product they try and roast on apple for a certain feature or show that theirs is better. Apple is engrained as the main smartphone and might always be on top. These companies always have to show commercials show why they are better while apple just shows what they have. Other companies that do this same thing is phone services like version, t-mobile, and sprint most people have ATAT and is sort of the king of phone service. While these other service try and bring down the bigger companies to make theres make sense. These smaller ones have to make the most ads just so that they can catch up to the bigger guys. I think its really interesting to see what companies our ingrain in us as the big companies for each item and how the others always try and show why theres

A big divide in our country right now is what we should do at the border between the US and Mexico. So I chose to choose one news station that is very left sided and one that is very right sighted. Both these articles use different language to describe their point of view of the argument. New York times believes it unethical for us to make a wall between this border and is not American value like. Washington Free Beacon use different vocabulary to choose why we have to protect our self from the other side. One big show of the difference is how New York times uses immigrants while Washington uses illegal immigrants or criminals to describe them. This choice of words makes them seem as if they are all evil and not seeking refugee. US was built off immigrants and now the government believes its okay to not allow them to come seek refugee. Also, New York times tries to talk about price of the wall and how we have other problems. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/30/opinion/trump-mexico-b

In Critical thinking we have started to talk about how politician use english language to influence reader. They do this through changing words to better sounding synonyms to using words that the normal public wouldn't know to confuse you. They also do it through slogans that make you remember that company for that certain something. We have seen examples of this in the last election as long throughout political history. An example of this in the past is how republicans don't use the phrase global warming but climate change because make it seem it as normal and not as bad. The use of this synonym cause for people to see as it will change back and that it effects only certain places. In this last election Trump used the english language to get voters to his side in many ways. He did it through calling all immigrants criminals and rapist this way would get most white voters on his side. By making this statement categorizing all immigrants and make them seem evil. He also did th

When I first read the prompt of "relationship with media" I had no idea what to write about. But after going more into depth I realized that media does not just have to be online but everywhere around me. But the things that most influence me as a teenager I believe it is TV Shows that I watch and the use of my phone everyday. As a teenager I watch most of the popular TV shows on Netflix, like everyone else or just big popular show. Shows like The Office, Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones are the big ones I watch. I think these shows are a big part of me because they make it so I can always have something to talk to someone about because most people have also seen it. The main characters in these show like Micheal, Jon Snow, or Rick Grimes these character influence how I think about certain events or how I act. I always like these character because I like how they are strong and influential leaders and they make feel as if I could one day bring joy to others and inspir
