Who equals whom?

2007-03-08T07:39:00.000-08:00

There were many people in the middle ages whom we can compare to people of today. For example a knight in the middle ages is similar to a person in the military today. Talk about differences and similarities in the way in which they are and were viewed in society. Think about resources they were/are given, the money they made/make, and they respect they have from people in society.

humor/personal testimony--Nichols

2006-12-04T06:55:00.000-08:00

Some advertisers use humor or personal testimony to get consumers to purchase their product. Personal testimony is helpful because when you hear that other people like the product and it works well you are more apt to buy it. Can you tell me about some commercials that use these techniques?

Incentives and Star Power--Nichols

2006-11-26T14:55:00.000-08:00

Many advertisers use tactics like offering something extra or a discount if you buy their product. These are called "incentives". See if you can spot an ad that uses this mode of persuasion. Another effective tool they use is "star power"---Usher uses our product--so should you. Tell me about some products that use star power to get you to buy their product.
