Aspects of Advertising

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses three positive and three major negative effects of advertising, using various advertising mediums. It then gives two examples of these effects - one of an advertisement with arguably more positive aspects and another of an advertisement with arguably more negative aspects. The paper explains the positive and negative aspects as seen by the writer.

From the Paper:

"A current popular Ford Motor Company ad, shown often on late-night television and talk shows, of a red Ford Mustang twirling round and round inside what looks like the inside of an automobile show room (but with no visible walls or other boundaries). This commercial then cuts, near the end, to a simple view of the open road, and, implicitly, the Mustang driver's-eye-view of it. The road is ready for the Mustang: the road is open and free; the big powerful red car is ready to take command of it! Message: the Ford Mustang (and by association, its owner/driver) is the center of attention; its owner will have no boundaries to worry about; he or she (probably he) will be able to go anywhere; occupy any space; "own" the road."
