The three blog posts are from my Rhetoric and Civic Life blog. I picked the first two blog posts because I am really fascinated by how companies will utilize advertisement to really sell an ethos to their customers. The McDonald’s commercial is a perfect example, where the company tries to advertise a completely different image than what fast-food restaurants are known to be. In addition, seeing how effective and mind blowing some advertisements can be scary to think that our minds can be manipulated so easily through a well organized and produced advertisement. The third blog post was picked because as a political science major, I was appalled to see Sarah Palin, a woman of her stature, was underprepared and used a hand as a teleprompter. These three blogs really were the key things that I wanted to speak about through my blog and the entries allow the reader to get a taste of what my blog is like overall.
