Ethos

Ethos: This is an advertisment of a woman product, but to draw people in more they used a pop star. so by doing this, most likey all her fans think she is so pretty and now it makes them want to use this product so maybe they can look like her.

Logos

Logos: This is an advertisment about a car that has a lot of acceleration with a still picture of it driving fast. and it explains that it goes 0-60 in 4.7 seconds.

pathos

Pathos: This gives off an emotional respose to a consumer. If they see this picture of this unfortunite baby then it makes them want to help him. They have a paragraph telling about him. and it says that where he lives, two babies die every hour.

1. List 3 things you learned or that surprised you

2. Respond to each quote: How does this statement make you feel?  Do you agree or disagree? Why?

"So you can give them what you want them to have" (MTV Machine, 9:40) Mark Crispin-Miller, Communications Professor @ NYU

 "Makers of teen TV argue that they’re only reflecting the real world; media is just a mirror."  (The Giant Feedback Loop, 6:50)

1. One thing that I learned is how television, in a way scientifically found out how to attract teens.
2. I was surprised that some of the music groups that were getting noticed from television were so violent but that’s what had a buzz at the time so it was broadcasted.
3.  I learned that it goes further than just television and how it attracts teens. Any business has its own way to attract the most money. For examples McDonalds attracts kids by adding a lot of colors and playgrounds.

·         In the first quote, I think this is pretty accurate because I think a lot of buzzes going around with teens, such as fashion and sex, are coming from television and other sources. If a teen see’s a famous person wearing some new hot clothes, then they might want to get what they had on or something that resembles.

·         In the second quote, you could say that. But like somebody said in one of the videos, is it the other way around, does the real world reflect off the media? It’s just a big circle. The media tricks the teen into thinking what they see on television is actually reality so that’s what they go off of.
