Chipotle Advertisement

I noticed this advertisement from Chipotle, representing GMOs (genetically modified organisms) in a negative light. They make the person viewing the ad believe that GMOs are harmful, and if they go to Chipotle, they can eat great food with "real" ingredients. They chose to portray GMOs negatively because of the stigma that already exists within society. This idea stems from the advertising technique of magic ingredients. They glorify their products through denouncing those made of GMOs, when in reality they aren't a bad thing, everything is technically a GMO. I also noticed that it followed the concept of glittering generalities, making their food seem particularly appealing by making their product seem better than it actually is, even though all their food is frozen. They pick out the parts of their food that are associated with positive connotations, making it seem like everything they produce is above average.

    GMO's are not really that bad, they have just been linked to some cancers which people freaked out over. Which is funny because GMO's are found in are medication to treat some types of cancers.

PETA Advertisement

Following the holidays, an advertisement was recently produced by PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) showing how animals, which are widely gifted around the world during Christmas season, are not to be treated as products. This is because often times the animal is given to someone who is unable to take care of it, or they just don't want it period. This ad contained inspiring Christmas music in the background, conveying feelings of warmth, and then the camera pans to a fake illuminated dog who is tied to a pole on the side of the highway. It causes the audience to realize that this is an issue, because it definitely had that effect on me. Not only can it spread awareness, but it may actually spark one's failed conscious. I believe this ad will be successful because of the placement. Since it has been placed right before the holiday season, people are more in their senses about giving and taking. I think without little reminders like such, there would be less conside...

Home Alone Ad

An ad by Google for their new and advanced home system, features Kevin McCallister from the Home Alone series, in the same house. However, he can now convieniently use google home to do whatever he needs, from turning on the fire place, to ordering food automatically. This shows how they play on the viewers emotions, by using a reference to a classic Christmas movie, which makes the viewer relate the google home to a part of their upbringing as well. It basically shows how google home can be a helpful assistant but also a part of your family at the same time. Also, the fact that they  released the ad around Christmas shows they thought it through. They used cheerful background music which creates a merry feel to the atmosphere, a warmer feeling. To add, the camera angle was always centered on McCallister, a ‘just like old times’ feel.  Video link https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xKYABI-dGEA

Politics and the English language

I agree with Orwell on the belief that language is a natural growth and that we shape it for our own purposes. For instance, since I am at an advantage where I have been put into harder classes that challenge me to create arguments that use intelligent sounding words, and which do in fact have intelligent meanings, I use them to my benefit to prove my self right in an argument with my friends in less challenging classes. The meanings they have behind them are complex and are difficult for my other friends to retort successfully. Playing the instrument of language, I am able to bend the meanings of them for my own selfish purposes. As time goes by, my language grows and allows me to have more sophisticated responses to situations that require me to prove myself or to prove others wrong.
