...Bandwagoning, glittering generalities, name calling, and stacked cards are the best political propaganda strategies to use when running for President of the United States because in today’s society, American citizens are commonly influenced by advertisements that allow a candidate to appear superior to the other. There are seven different types of propaganda: endorsement, glittering generalities, bandwagon, stacked cards, name calling, plain folks, and image molding. Propaganda is bias advertisement used to persuade the reader. Many candidates use propaganda to gain the support of citizens for any upcoming election. The goal of using political propaganda is to win an election. Walter Mondale used bandwagoning, which is convincing people to support a candidate because other people do, to show the supporters that he already had in attempt to gain new ones. His campaign manufactured buttons with sayings, such as “retirees support”, “united paperworkers for Mondale”, and “Asian...

...Advertising: Manipulating the Mind Advertisements, whether it be on television, buildings, billboards, buses, and the internet, it is everywhere an individual turns. There is hardly a way to control it or get away from it and there is definitely no way of stopping it. The tools and techniques that these marketers and advertisers use to manipulate the audience are almost endless and extremely effective. People are constantly exploited and seduced on a daily basis to purchase products without much logical thinking. Advertisements like the Dr. Pepper “Always One of a Kind” commercial give an illusion that aims toward people’s shadows and manipulates the mind in a way that the company would want it to be. The first time seeing the ad, it was evident that its intentions were to leave the viewers with feel-good emotions. It starts out with a series of short clips from following Macklemore onto the stage to people doing various activities like drumming, surfing, bull riding, dancing, swimming with a shark, and mountain climbing. There are Dr. Pepper cans and the Dr. Pepper logo subtly placed throughout the commercial. It also mentions that even woman can be “one of a kind” and that gave a sense that Dr. Pepper does not discriminate. It then goes on to show a clip of a cartoon, which can relate to a child. The advertisement basically shows all these different people doing their own thing around the nation and how they are “one of a kind” in hopes of promoting individuality...

...Controversial Issues In Entertainment 1 RoboVerde Com/225 April 8, 2013 Controversial Issues In Entertainment 2 Controversy surrounding same-sex marriage is copious. Entering same-sex marriage into the search engine Google, 642 million results popped up on screen in the timespan of .17 seconds. Suffice it to say, controversy surrounding this rumpus issue is not lacking interest. There seems to be several questions at the center of the controversy. Mainly the questions are, what is the definition of marriage? Do gay marriage bans violate the Constitution’s equal protection clause? Are we the people discriminating against a certain group of individuals and should same-sex couples have the same legal rights and benefits as heterosexual couples? All of these questions are at the heart of this hotly debated issue. This issue gets wide and diverse coverage from every media source worthy of covering newsworthy news because the very nature of the controversy strikes at the core of humanity. At our core we are relational beings created with emotion and a desire for community, equality, and liberty. There is something hardwired into the human spirit that laments for fairness and equality, which most believe was central to the framers intent in wording the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. It is for this reason that the media leverages the topic using its resources to inform, persuade, influence, entertain, and enrage its audience...
