VC Ethos Paragraph

There are millions of commercials. All of them have different audience and purpose. Advertisement maker tries to convey audience to look at their point of view, which can be political, social or convincing them to buy their product instead of others. According to the article “Rhetoric and Advertising” more than 2,000 years ago the Aristotle came up with three different categories to describe how people use rhetoric to persuade people: ethos, pathos and logos. Each of these terms describes different way to try to reach an audience and convince them to agree with you. Pathos is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response. Logos is an appeal to logic, and is a way of persuading an audience by reason. Ethos is an appeal to ethics, and it is a means of convincing someone of the character or credibility of the persuader. Many ad makers use 2 of 3 techniques in their ad. Commercial maker uses logos and ethos a lot while making a commercial. For example, Luna commercial. Luna is a carpeting company who installs new carpet in houses at the discounted prices. They always have a promotions going on which includes get carpet in 2 rooms and get the 3rd one for free, by doing this they are attracting customers, this is example of ethos.

In this specific commercial ethos is used several times to appeal to its viewers through the famous Olympic athlete, Michael Phelps, and the Intel Corporation. Everyone knows Michael Phelps is one of the greatest swimmers of all time and is an Olympic legend in America. The ethos of this is that the Olympics have been going on for more than 100 years and have been a big part of American entertainment and culture. Every 4 years, many Olympic athletes from America come home with gold, silver, and bronze medals, which are signs of achievement and dominance in our country. Many children and teenagers look up to these Olympic athletes, therefore, seeing them in TV commercials make kids beg their parents to buy the product even more, which increases the commercials effectiveness. The second ethical appeal in this commercial is the Intel Corporation. They have been around for 50 years and are a highly respected company. They created this ethos by innovating new high speed laptops and gaining the respect of their customers and other technological companies. So when adults see that the product is created by Intel, they are more willing to buy the product due to its ethics in
Ryan McMaken defends Lego’s gender marketing issue as he focuses on Lego primarily as a profit-seeking business, as well as a business who has proven to know exactly what they are doing. McMaken concentrates on how Lego’s introduction of their Friends Line increased the worth of the female construction toy industry’s from 300 million to 900 million dollars.

To do so, it is crucial to offer products that other companies may not; products that will satisfy the needs of all children. Therefore, after extensivea research, and various
The use of LEGOs is an extraordinary thing, but it is shocking to see exactly how controversial a small toy can become. People of all ages have been found to enjoy this toy.
