Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection

· Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?

It is important to remember who benefits from the advertisement so that we don’t make impulse decisions about buying products. Companies will never give you something if it means they lose money, so if it seems like they will, that means there’s more to it than it initially seems.

· Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience: logical, ethical, emotional

Emotional persuasion works because human brains are very easily tricked by simple things and will make people feel like they NEED to buy something, and it’s very hard to un-convince someone when they are skillfully emotionally persuaded.

· Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product.

Testimonial or plain folk advertisement techniques are effective because they are relatable. It feels more like it’s your friend earnestly recommending a product to you rather than a business trying to sell you someone.

Core Competency Reflection

· I showed others that I truly valued their conributions by…

  • Including their contributions in the project.
  • Listening to what they were saying.
  • Making sure I heard their opinion, even if they didn’t speak up.

· Some things I thought about when dividing tasks among my group members were:

  • Who had what skills and tools, so people would work on things they were good at.
  • Who wanted to do what task
  • The remaining tasks would be divided so everyone has the same workload.

· I knew my group is working well together when I saw:

  • Discussion that was even, not one person dominating the conversation.
  • People disagreeing with each other, but still resolving the conflict and deciding upon an idea.
  • Everyone generating good ideas and building off one another

My First Year

ADL Socials Studies – Ethical Judgement

AI mainly assisted me by helping me find sources and a summary of what they say. I didn’t use what the AI said as my argument, I just used it to find a basic summary of a few sources, and then used it to find sources.

Because I didn’t use what the AI said in my project, I only used what it said to see what kind of information I would get from a source. I didn’t ever copy and paste or just reword what it said and put it in my project.

I agree with the position I argued but only in rare situations. I think the use of violence should be an absolute last resort in a revolution and only when the situation is dire, when people’s basic rights are being damaged.

2 of the next prompts

  • My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include using Perplexity AI to help me find sources, then reading the sources to see what they say. 
  • I compile and synthesize information to draw reasoned conclusions, such as when I looked at all of my sources to see what arguments could be made, and I thought of some of my own arguments and compiled that all into one script that I could read out.
