2006 Jif Commercial - 1 views

www.youtube.com/watch

    Please tell me you remember this commercial?! Jif peanut butter has situated ethos because it is already well known. With the slogan "Choosey mom's choose Jif", they use an enthymeme assuming that ordinary mom[s that don't care as much would choose peanut butter that wasn't as good. The rhetor also uses pathos by showing two cute little boys sharing thier favorite snack, tugging on the audience's emotions.

    I agree with everything present in the commercial. I think the rhetor of this commercial is trying to show the importance of pathos in advertising. Jif peanut butter is clearly trying to appeal to normal middle class families with young kids. I think this ad is effective because it shows people that normal families just like them use Jif, almost like a social norm in society.

    Brennan -- yes, the slogan is an enthymeme, but the implied assumption is that being a choosey mom = being a good mom :)

I agree! The video uses situated ethos and uses pathos towards showing equal opportunity towards women. It focuses not only on women having "great hair" and feeling good about themselves, but also ...

    The Washington Redskin team name and whether it should be changed has been a contingent issue for many years. Some Native Americans argue it is offensive and does not honor their people.

    This is definitely a contingent issue and it will be interesting to see if they change their name.

    This article displays which cars are the most worry-free by ranking the top 10. The article uses logos by ranking the cars with a point system. It is also a contingent issue as to which is the best car. This article is responsive because it has a comment section.

    Legalizing or not legalizing gay marriage has been a contingent issue for a long time. This is also showing one of the six characteristics that rhetoric is responsive, this article is about some of the responses that people had on the ruling of gay marriage.
  • ashsull120 on 04 Oct 14
     
    This is a kairotic article because many states are deciding whether to legalize gay marriage or not. Also, the exigence is obviously the fact that some states are beginning to legalize the marriages.

Rhetoric in an Ad - 1 views

    This image is rhetorical because it is obviously planned and adapted to an audience. It reveals human motives to be more environmentally aware of the actions taken with usage of water. It addresses the contingent issue of how citizens treat the environment and how we are wasteful with certain resources. This ad appeals to pathos because it directly shows how it affects fish and other creatures who live in the water we mistreat. Also, it is kairotic because this ad came out around the same time as the BP oil spill. It can be used to support the fact that, many times, we don't treat water respectfully and not only does it affect our lives, it affects the animals' lives as well.

    This ad's kairos is definitely times right, during the super bowl when everyone is drinking beer. Also, it has a lot of pathos in the way it shows a cute little puppy with his big strong horse friend.

    That is really cute. And you are totally right about the ad's kairos and the amount of pathos it has. Very neat form of rhetoric.

It's interesting to compare the two videos, UWEC and UWO. Very different approaches but they both get their point across and try to persuade you to come.

    We spent some time on lady gaga and this song is supposedly a statement against human trafficking. Definitely rhetoric in the way that it is planned and in how it is answering the subject of human trafficking.
  • yangkaol on 30 Sep 14
     
    This is a creative approach in portraying rhetoric! It's definitely planned out and is responsive! It's also adapted towards an audience through persuasive approaches (i.e. visual appeals).

Should the U.S. lower its drinking age? - 3 views

    This article addresses a current contingent issue about lowering the drinking age and also has a short video to go along with it. Let me know what you think, be responsive.
  • jacobimj on 27 Sep 14
     
    This was a very thought-provoking article along with the video! I think it would be super interesting for someone to do a study on whether making the drinking age as low as 6, and having their parents give their kids small amounts of alcohol at dinnertime, would have an effect on how they abuse/don't abuse alcohol in their future teenage years.
  • tollakdd on 29 Sep 14
     
    I think this is a huge contingent issue because of the fact that most people do drink before the age of 21. It addresses the need for moderation when consuming alcohol. In my personal opinion is, if you can buy and house and go fight for your country you should also be able to have a beer once in awhile without it being considered underage drinking.
