The automotive industry uses advertisements and hundreds of types of persuasive techniques to sell you their vehicles. In the Ford advertisement that I chose, a large red truck is driving down the road during a rain storm. The words “It’s simple. BURN LESS FUEL. Burn less cash.” These are in the upper right hand corner. The words “BURN LESS FUEL” are written in green lettering and are all in capital letters. The truck is in front of other cars on the road, and its window wipers are being used because of the rain storm its in. The Ford logo which says “Built Ford Tough” is in written in the bottom right hand corner. Next to the logo it says “This is the future of trucks” which is printed in green lettering. The use of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos makes advertisements by Ford for their brand of F-150 trucks effectiveness because the three uses target all the viewers senses at the same time and wants makes them think about and want to buy the truck.

Ford uses statistics and facts to try and convince their perspective buyer they need their product. During the ad they show there is different types of engines for all types of people; the 3.5L,3.7L, and the 5.0L engine. This shows that there is a lot of options for people and they are not limited to one truck. Ford offers an ECOboost truck which would be a great option for people who are wanting to not hurt the environment but also want to drive a truck. Another way ford can show their truck is a good option for consumers is its safeness. In the advertisement you see the F-150 driving through the rain, and in front of all the other cars. People think that this truck can handle it in the rain and that it is very safe to drive in any
Activity 29 The rhetorical situation of advertisement establishes ethos with the logo and text of the US Department of Transportation. By doing this, people simply passing by can establish a connection to the advertisement, leading them to be interested in what it has to say. The advertisement does a tremendous job appealing to pathos in the picture, and even the description of the picture. With the text, “I was looking out for other cars.
Ford Skyliner: The Leader of the Hardtop Convertible If you were around during the 1950s then without a doubt you will remember the introduction of the Ford Skyliner, the first hardtop convertible. The Skyliner set a trend that became prominent in the 1990s and still continues today, appearing as a feature on many prestige cars such as the Mercedes SLK and the Ferrari California T. Even before releasing the Skyliner, Ford were one of America’s favourite and top-selling vehicle brands. While their main competitors relied on the basic, early design engines, Ford was boasting the powerful Y-Bock V8. The public fell in love with the distinctive shape and design of cars produced by Ford and their affordability was certainly another factor contributing

The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. devastated a large majority of people around the world. His works of nonviolent acts against racism motivated many, including civil rights activist Cesar Chavez, to solve matters without resorting to inhumane behaviors. Inspired by Dr. King Jr.’s work, Chavez and his union of labor workers devoted themselves to helping those in need through peaceful protests. Similar methods are proven to be successful; Mahatma Gandhi, for instance, gained a great deal of supporters because of his pacifism and tranquil methods of boycotting against British domination. Despite brutal and savage methods of persuasion slowly gaining support, Chavez proves that nonviolent actions are superior; he does so by using ethos in order to uphold moral standards, logos (in reference to the past), and pathos to appeal to the emotions of his audience.
Automobiles were affordable and were designed carefully. The majority of these cars were produced by the Ford Motor Company, led by Henry Ford, who designed a different model each year to satisfy the insatiable crowd. Many of the automotive innovations that we think of as being modern—like electric powered cars, four wheel drive, front wheel drive, hybrid fuel and electric cars—were introduced during the 1920s. The automobiles had various different colors in order to get the attention of people, especially woman, and through time, they evolved to become more comfortable to drive for men (Scott ,1). The automobiles were beneficial to the U.S because they expanded the area of habitat.
Rhetorical strategies including pathos, ethos, and logos are stylistic elements often used as a persuasion technique to get an audience to either buy a product or participate in something. Advertisements almost always have at least one of these three components, and Super Bowl commercials specifically are renowned for their entertaining use of these strategies. Of the many Super Bowl commercials, two stood out to me for their in-depth use of all three of these rhetorical strategies. The first commercial combines the extreme measures taken by an overprotective dad and the new Hyundai Genesis. These two seemingly unlike ideas are brought together in a collaboration that effectively use pathos, ethos, and logos to prove the audience of their product.
Everyone has made an argument. It could be as little as argueing so you can to your friend’s house to as big as why you should be president. Whenever you make an argument you’re trying to persuade the person to listen to you. The points you make are ethos (appeals to credibility), logos (logic), or pathos (emotion). You do it without knowing.
These advertisements are created in a way that capture’s the audience’s attention and makes them want to purchase the product.

Nike is one of the most iconic and influential companies in the world, and its advertisements can be found anywhere in the world and across every medium. In one of its most recent ad campaigns, this athletic juggernaut tackles the issue of equality, a struggle that has existed throughout the history of sports, just as it has existed throughout the history of this country. The Nike advertisement “Equality” is a black-and-white video featuring superstar athletes from various sports that incorporates several elements and techniques illustrating the use of logos, ethos, and pathos to create a powerful and moving message.

Most people who like trucks admire them for the way they look or how they run on the road and other things trucks have. There are a variety of types of trucks such as Ford, Chevy, Nissan, Toyota, Dodges (Rams), GMC and maybe Hondas. There is people who talk about which truck is better by comparing them together and arguing about them. But we are going to compare Ford and Chevy. To start where and how did Ford brand begin?
The picture I chose, shows an image that is in the public eye of today’s society, the image of smoking and how people can be affected by it. In this picture, viewers can see how smoking can really affect one’s life and how the addiction can be harmful to not only the outside of the body, but also the inside. This photo shows a controversial side of the appeal that people become addicted to cigarettes and, even after trying to go cold turkey, some people still cannot get over the addiction. The first thing that is noticed is the noose. The noose is being wrapped around the woman’s neck comparing the cigarette to the noose in attempt to show death.
Scott Conant provides credibility to the advertisement by pressuring others into thinking that investing in an Infiniti is the tasteful and sophisticated decision. The claim that the GX80 is for the people who matter attempts to establish logical appeal to the consumer despite the fact that it insults those who do not own an Infiniti vehicle. Lastly, visual appeals in the ad draw people to believe that buying an Infiniti will bring them closer to nature and develop the camaraderie of relationships with all those who ride in the GX80 with the consumer. Through all rhetoric presented in Infiniti’s advertisement for the 2015 GX80, the marketing strategy is ultimately working to target people’s most important human desire as according to Simon Sinek: a sense of belonging and social importance. While the logical appeal used in the advertisement inadvertently states that people driving Infiniti vehicles matter more than those who do not, the advertisement still successfully establishes that purchasing the redesigned Infiniti GX80 will strengthen relationships with friends and family over the common bond of a luxury
