...Cash. Paper. Bank. Money. No matter what you call it, its impact is universal. With over 200 slang terms, ranging multiple languages, it has brainwashed our world and has become a driving force in societies today. We have been conditioned for decades to doubt ourselves. The Modern Warfare Two commercial uses the tool of appealing to popularity to persuade customers to buy their product. The majority of the commercial focuses on a old man in a chair that states that every sort of person is doing this one thing, every way and everywhere possible, and ends with the logo for Modern Warfare. The shared attitude today is that if a idea is perceived as being popular, it is automatically correct, but this is not so, especially in the society we live in where such things as clever marketing strategies and social power can manipulate this. By using sarcasm and taboo talk such as sexual innuendos, this commercial captures the viewer’s attention and plants a wonder in our minds on what they could be talking about. Although we are warned repeatedly as children not to give into peer pressure, we quickly learn as we grow up that it is a chief motive in most adult relationships. By concentrating on this...

...invention Commercial Break!!: Creative Play With Media Influence Purpose: Works well to introduce a personal visual media paper, or other media analysis paper, because it encourages students to think critically about their childhood experiences with TV, etc in a personal, creative way. The exercise may become an early paper draft, or simply stimulate their thinking about the programs and commercials they have watched, and how these media affected them. Description: Students will write creative narratives about a childhood TV experience, then trade papers with another classmate, who will assess the program, the narrator, and then complete the narrative with a commercial break description suited to the program and audience. You may want to have your own example written up to read to them before each step, just to get them thinking about what’s possible. Suggested Time: 20 minutes to a full class period Procedure: Ask the class what their favorite shows were as kids: cartoons, sitcoms, even documentaries. You may want to bring in a few stills or uTube clips to project (in a tech class), as a memory jogger (ex. The Cosby Show, Ren & Stimpy, etc). Once you’ve discussed a nice variety of TV programs, ask the class to freewrite for 5-10 minutes (however long you wish to tell them) in first-person P.O.V. about their experience watching a show like these as a kid. They should be specific and detailed, writing whatever comes to memory about what’s going on in the program and their thoughts/reactions/and...

...Running Head: HOW TO TELL YOUR BRAND’S STORY Assignment 1: How to Tell Your Brand’s Story: Four Questions You Must Answer Pat Smith MKRT 5000 - Marketing 24 January 2012 HOW TO TELL YOUR BRAND’S STORY ARTICLE SUMMATION Beth McKenna writes an impressive article on bringing to light the nuance of telling your company’s brand story, which can be referred to as story generation. In the past, companies had only 30 seconds of commercial time to tell their story, using the same format with the big five: characters, setting, plot, conflict, and resolution. With commercials, companies only had a limited time and limited ways to advertise. Today, technology has expanded and changed the face of how to tell the story of a company’s brand. But what the writer discusses is how to “cut the clutter” and effectively “evoke feeling” and create a story which the audience can feel a part of the product. In addition to commercials, a brand story can be discussed in depth and length through the internet, on social media blogs such as Facebook and Twitter, allowing the audience to provide feedback and opinions. As the article progresses,, Beth McKenna elaborates on the need for companies to evolve their planning processes to follow four questions to be evaluated before a company develops its story. First, the planning stage is critical to the formation of the story. Beth McKenna’s main emphasis is how critical it is to...

...He writes “I feel a good deal less optimistic than I did when I was writing Brave New World. [...] The nightmare of total organization…has emerged from the safe, remote future and is now awaiting us, just around the next corner” (Huxley 2). In this novel, Huxley expresses a fear that his hypothesized society could possibly become real in what was at the time, the near future, and in its final chapter he proposes that the only cure for humanity’s disease is a “multiplicity of cooperating remedies”- freedom, with all factors from social organization to birth control included. Today, half a century after Huxley proposed his solution for the predicament, humanity population is overcrowding the planet at more than seven billion and the essential freedoms...

...the final he was wearing a long lion-mane wig and because he used the wrong conditioner, the wig was starting to fall off and Agassi cared more about preventing this then playing tennis. In the beginning of Agassi’s career he believed image was everything, but after maturing and realizing truths, Agassi began to live his life with no secrets and started to appreciate and respect tennis and those around him. In this paper I will discuss how three different media streams – television commercials, online magazine articles, and television shows – effectively constructed Agassi’s biography from an immature kid to a well respected role model. The commercial portrays Agassi as young, careless, and glamorous. The online magazine article effectively shows how professional writers view Agassi’s transformation. And finally the television show offers a closer and up-close view of Agassi. In 1990 Canon endorsed Andre Agassi in their television commercial called Image is Everything, which featured a new camera called the Rebel. This thirty second commercial aired during prime time sporting events to appeal to sport fans who knew Agassi. In the beginning of Agassi’s career in 1990, Agassi’s personality resembled that of a rock star on the tennis court; he flaunted his flamboyant long hair and...
