Persuasive Advertising

Advertising has become one of the strong points of many of today's striving companies and corporations. Almost every big company in the world has some sort of advertising out there. Advertising gives a company a great chance to get their products out to the public.

     Advertising can play tricks on your mind. Almost every ad has some sort of subliminal message to hint something to your subconscious. We all know that advertising works just think how many times you have been sitting home at night starving while watching T.V. then all of the sudden a commercial for McDonald's or Burger King comes on and you hop in your car and go get something to eat from there. Without that ad you might have had the will power to just stay home and make something but they changed your mind with one simple commercial. Another reason we almost have to think that advertising works is how much advertisers pay to get their advertisement out there. During the Super bowl is one of the best events for commercials, all kinds of new commercials are released. Last year, for just 30 seconds of air time, advertisers had to 2.5 million dollars. I think that if advertising did not work, advertisers would not pay that much of money to get their ads out to the public.

     To conclude, advertising has been going on for many years and many more years to come simply because it persuades people to buy the product that is being advertised or at least get you into their store and possibly even buy more things with it.

    

Why I Came To Wright State University

    
    

     Great academics, close to home but not too close, friends are going here, many relatives attended here and cheap tuition are all things that played a role in my decision making on attending Wright State University. And now that I am here there are many other things that I didn't even know of that would have been able to attract me to come here as well.

     As I toured the state for colleges for me to attend, Wright State stuck out to me like a sore thumb. With my intended major being accounting, the accounting program here blew me away. Hearing some of the things the accountant students get to participate in and seeing some of the cool classrooms like the stocks room really caught my eye. Not to mention Wright State has one of the most prestigious accounting programs in the state. Also my cousin who attended here a few years back holds an accounting agency in Springfield which I plan on interning for and hopefully working for in the future.

     Another thing that got me to attend Wright State was the great campus and housing. The campus' building and classroom were one of the top ones that i seen throughout all of my college visits. Also Wright State was the only school around that had accessible underground tunnels to get you to every building on campus during the bad weather. Also the housing was by the best housing units I went to. Some of the other campus' I attended had nasty looking building with crappy dorm rooms, then i came to Wright State and everything looked very clean and the rooms are very spacious.

     Lastly, the final reason I attended Wright State was the pricing. Going into college you have to see what suits you then best and then compare prices. Besides little colleges, Wright State had the best price available for my academic needs. With a small tuition fee and a great academic program, Wright State University was nearly impossible to turn down.

The Impossible

   
    
     Nothing in this world is impossible if you have faith, and that is what Joe Nichols is trying to get across in his 2002 hit, The Impossible. I always used to listen to music because it had a good beat or I liked the artist until this song was played at my cousin's funeral. That was the first time I truly listened to lyrics and took in the meaning of a song. Now when I listen to songs I always try to find the hidden meanings of the song and incorporate it into my life.
     This song is telling people that in life there are no obstacles that you cannot overcome if you set your mind to do something and go for it. Like in the song it said that Billy got in a bad car crash and the doctors told him that he would never walk again, but he was determined he would and on his graduation day he got out of his wheel-chair and walked to receive his diploma. I feel that is a very strong message and that it touched many people. Also, what i got from this song is that you can overcome any obstacle. For example in my family we played this song about my cousin's death because we knew it was an obstacle in the road that we had to overcome and i feel that it fit the situation very well.
     This is a slower country styled song that was made from inspiration. The purpose of this song is to tell people to never give up on life because no matter how big your obstacles because there are always miracles that miraculously get you through anything. This song is aimed at any person that is struggling in life, to tell them to keep their head up because with a little faith and will power they will overcome their troubles. Nichols stance about this song is that in your time of trouble, this song will inspire you to get through it. This is a spoken song in the media, it is played all over the world via concerts, internet and in my case funerals.

Most Loved to Most Hated

"My decision has been made, I will be taking my talents down to South Beach, Florida this next year to join the Miami Heat." (LeBron James) Those plethora of words made Lebron James become one of the most loved persons in Ohio to probably the most hated in all Ohio.     

     James grew up in Akron as a boy before he became rich and famous and move to close by Cleveland to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The love by Ohioans began for LeBron when he was in high school playing basketball for Akron St. Vincent St. Mary's High School. He put on a show for people all four years in high school, especially during the State Tournament games as he showed his high flying silky smooth basketball moves to impress fans and scouts every where. He was the most dominant player of his age and still is, and everyone knows how crazy Cleveland fans can get so you can see why people loved him so much. LeBron within his first 4 seasons in Cleveland brought them from a laughing stock in the NBA (National Basketball Association) to the NBA finals where they ended up getting beat by the San Antonio Spurs.
     Not only did LeBron just up and leave Cleveland to go play in Miami next year, but he made everyone wait anxiously to hear his decision and had his own 1-hour television special to announce it. During the special he stated what i had quoted before and in them few seconds i believe LeBron James became on the most hated people especially in the sports world in Ohio's history.
