Oct 29 Question 1

                Product placement is great amongst itself; this is the location where the product is to be placed. This will be great upon known how and why things are place. The perfect example is seen in a grocery market where everything is done for a purpose. The purpose in a grocery store is in the place products in certain places. Furthermore, every product placed in a certain spot has too have a value, where the product will make a certain amount of sales, or price it is willing to pay.

                The fact, that everything should have certain placement of products. Milk is most a need in most households; I walked to get two gallons of milk in the grocery store which, I passed every product with seeing every single product placed mostly upon necessity. That was amazing in my opinion. The products like cereal you can see which brands where targeting child as well as adults. I remember my Introduction to Marketing instructor said you can see a “rainbow” of colors when one looks through the cereal ilea. Product placement is really great.

                I find the weakness upon “Misleading Language” this because the figurative language my not stick. Yet, “Like a rock” has a catchy phrase to it. I remember the commercial. I remember singing certain commercial and a baby. Sing the songs of this one. J

Oct. 29 Question 2

                The perspectives of advertising and children are becoming an instrument to regulate the food industries as health is the issue. The discuss for healthier vs. for fundamental rights to promote, which leads to a healthier diet or to regulate the foundation of free speech. Margo G. Wootan and Robert Liodice each have a side. Yet, when Margo G. Wootan states in, Regulating Food Advertising to Children; “Parents bear the primary responsibility for feeding their children.” This made his argument weak.

                So I will elaborate upon Robert Liodice and the article, “Advertising and Freedom of Speech: Beware of the Food Nanny.” The best argument that stands in is the fundamental right of the first Amendment. Free speech is the very core value that gives personal responsibility and choice. This is the nature of having the right to speak. While, Americans can give up a little for the price of regulation, it becomes inevitable to bear and see it taken away.

                Obesity is a problem curable Liodice states. Furthermore, our freedoms shouldn’t be in fridge upon a problem that can be fixed. Government shouldn’t be the one to take our free speech. The first Amendment is a valuable one.

Week Oct. 29 question 3

                The concept that I have picked up this week is SWOT. The (SWOT) strength, weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats is to evaluate marketing strategies. To look into the market as if there will be a possible opportunities or marketing weaknesses. These tactics are usually used by marketing groups to evaluate how a company or companies are doing.

                The first concept of SWOT is the function of strength. Furthermore, what are the strengths of a in the marketing pitch. Therefore, they see how it relates to a certain group. The process of looking into strengths is why the marketing concept would work. To keep this short why will it work?

                The second is weaknesses are there any weaknesses in the concept. Marketing wants to have no weakness inside of the matter alone. The matter being what so ever; Therefore, making pursuit of the best possible solution. This enables the company to take any weaknesses out. Weaknesses are bad because they can hurt the thing or things being sold.

                The second is opportunities, what opportunities the concept presents. What are the basic opportunities by using a certain strategy? These questions help the core purpose of the marketing strategy. Looking for opportunities that may present themselves, and do present themselves.

                Finally threats can be the fact of having the words, images, and/or theories that can be misinterpret. The marketing team might have had the best possible of intension, yet some incumbent or incumbents may have thought otherwise. Take for example, Tacos Bell had a dog that spoke Spanish. This brought about group that felt degraded, so Tacos Bell took off the dog once and for all.

                In closing the process of SWOT is a great way to evaluate the marketing strategic process. There is a lot to learn about marketing pitches in all aspects. We are moving in advance the more we know about these things.

oct 15 question 3

I will pick one conception that really stands out to me. “Self-Serving Biases” errors that we may not understand, leads some to draw upon conclusion. Three include misconception that we are in control, overestimating ourselves comparison to others, and exaggerate our strengths and minimize our weaknesses. The misconception that we control chance when it come to lottery tickets. I believe that people rely of luck more than anything. The sales of lottery tickets have boasted up even in a Recession. Next, overestimation ourselves comparison to others, the ability that we feel that it is our fault for irrational events to happen to us and feel like one is in control. This misconception really creates us to think it is ones fault. Furthermore, we might believe that we had control over the situation. Finally, exaggerate our strengths and minimize our weaknesses, the notion that we are overconfidence is vital because if we don’t reach a dream one can put themselves down. This understanding that we can only do so much creates a burden when one doesn’t reach a goal. Thank you for the read.

Oct. 15 Question 1

“Wisdom is the greatest virtue” by Aristotle. The function of wisdom making wise decisions in aspects of life. The is not readily for a function of a tool. The wise tool of what tools should be used. This is similar into knowledge in a way. Take for example; I know that there is going to be wisdom of problems from the pass. Furthermore, to learn from the pass is wisdom; Therefore, learning about mistakes in the pass can help from running into the same problems. The knowledge that is taught in school is actually more about memory. Knowledge seems to be more of memory; this is why is one of the reasons to why I am thinking about leaving school. So school seem to push course that don’t align with careers. Yet, to whoever read this don’t consider leaving school. Furthermore, looking into my own opinion will create why knowledge is different from wisdom.

Chapter 3 Question 3

I found one of the interesting comment in Rhetorical Devices is euphemism. Euphemism creates a positive meaning amongst words which changes how one my feel about a situation. Take for example, research has been done that words make a difference when one votes. I can word a survey, “What do you think about the choice of the killing of a baby?” people would vote against it. Now, “what do you think about pro-choice abortion?” These both will create different result on the votes, but the words used are different.  I couldn’t believe that I knew about this type before I read it in chapter 3.

Question 2 Week of October 1, 2012

I used sarcasm to really reflect upon people’s insults. I really feel they don’t know how to interpret sarcasm. I was told the other day what if I steal a credit card number on a family member. I simple said, “I would steal the number” they simple said nothing in reply. This really strike people as is he really saying that as for reals or just too be smart? I find if you’re going to insult someone please do it in a matter of respect. I use sarcasm, when I feel someone is insulting me. Furthermore, I will not sit there an talk for a long period of time if I feel really insulted. I know when someone ask a real legitimate question. They usually don’t direct it towards someone.

                I use hyperbole to say when I say a basketball game. For example, I said, “the was the greatest game I have ever seen.” Yet, it was a great game and I loved it. Although it wasn’t the greatest game I have ever seen.
