Advertising

In an advertisement, you want to require one of the followings


Ethos is an appeal to ethics, and it is a means of convincing someone of the character or credibility of the persuader.



This advert shows ethos because it's showing a famous artist that accordingly makes us think this drink is good. The way that makes us think this is because if you're famous and known around the globe your most likely rich right? So then when they're rich they have a huge variety of drinks they can buy but because they have a photo of them with this particular drink (diet coke) it makes audiences think that it must be a good drink.

Pathos is an appeal to emotion and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response.




This clearly explains pathos. This ad shows an emotional image that makes us people think that we are the reason there's cruelty to animals and it makes everyone's soft spot for animals come out. When an animal is in pain it lets out a daring squeak and when people see these types of ads it immediately makes people picture it in person and really emotionalises people.

Logos is an appeal to logic and is a way of persuading an audience by a reason.



This is a great clear image of logos. This advert has explained reasons why this object is good for buyers. They changed a toy and made it sound like a handy tool for people with stress, autism, and ADHD. It looks addicting and cheap but nowadays because they're so popular they've made them real expensive and that's why there are so many reasons on this particular - to try bribe people to spend their money.

Bridge

We will be acting as 'engineers' this week we will be making a bridge and it will have to be able to hold a certain amount of weight. We will be placing the bridge across a sink and everyone will be having the exact same weight.

We will be using:
One meter of tape
Six sheets of newspaper

For our bridge, we rolled the sheets of newspaper into thin sticks. once we had done that we tested them and we put the weights over top. We ended up with it reach 40 for the weights. At fifty our bridge bent into the sink. We wanted it to be able to hold fifty so we added tape to the middle where it bent and then used the rest of our tape for the edges to keep them in place.

After looking at everyone else's bridges we realized that we aren't the only ones using that technique, so we would just have to wait and see to find out whose is better.

After the competition, our results were the best! Our bridge held 70 N and ended up being the strongest out of the class. I think ours was really strong because we rolled the newspaper into 6  long thin strips and the thinner the paper is the more layers it has which would make it thick and strong. Also, we used up all the tape and used it on the center and wrapped all the long sticks together.

Bubblegum

A squishy, satisfying, sticky substance that you chew. Does that sound familiar? Has an image of thought popped into your head yet? I'm talking about something that we all know we stuck under tables once before. Bubblegum, chewing gum, teachers worst enemy!! Have you ever thought of how bubblegum is made? What's the story behind gum? I'm going to tell you the whole procedure of this delicious sweet!!!


How is it made?
It starts with a little gum base. The stuff that makes it so satisfying and chewy! In old days it was traditionally made from tree resin. Nowadays its synthetic - made from rubbers and plastic. The gum base is placed into a huge mixer and then add flavouring and colour. During the mixing they pour in the mixer through a little tube glucose syrup - a sweetener just to add that touch of flavour. And plus without it the gum would be hard so they need it to keep its constantly soft to be able to chew it calmly. Afterwards they add dextrose, a powdered sweetener. The texture blends for 20 minutes as the stirring action builds up more heat as it goes on. So everything can melt together. When It's finished it will end up as a very sticky soft mixture. It will feel the consistency of bread dough. Now it's transferred into a machine called the pre-extruder. The machine tightens/squeezes the mixture through a thin narrow opening. As satisfying as squeeze toothpaste from its tube!! Afterwards it's thin enough to go through the extruder which shapes it into a continuous long stream of manageable bubblegum which becomes cut into small bite-sized pieces later on. It has to go through an excursion process that will heat up the gum or otherwise if it was put into the wrapper it will stick everywhere. Now the cooling chamber. The gum goes through for about 15 minutes between 37 and 45 degrees fahrenheit. When it's cooled down it comes down to the last step. The “cut-and-wrap”. We obviously know what’s gonna happen now, right? There's actually a machine that can complete that task in a fraction of a second!


Why can't we swallow gum?
Our body struggles to digest plastics and rubber and near the start of the last paragraph i told you that that's what was made of gum right? So if we swallow gum our body can't digest it correctly and it gets sticky inside our body which can be quite dangerous in some cases.


Maybe this can give you something to think about next time your chewing gum.

Broom - a machine

BROOM
Dirty floors!! They're such a hassle so you wanna buy an expensive machine to clean (eg. vacuum)? There's a way easier solution that's cheaper and is surprisingly a machine that goes unnoticed.


A machine is something that has a force applied to it such as, pull, push, levers, etc. That even makes a broom a machine. The fulcrum of a broom that you are using would be the hand you're using closest to the ground. Your top hand then operates the lever that pivots about your bottom hand.


The bristles of the broom is actually another example of a different simple machine. Each bristle acts as a spring when it bends it wants to return to its original form. The bristles at the end of the broom are typically made of straw, hair, plastic, etc. A broom is a great help in life but it’s starting to be replaced by high-tech vacuums. A broom is a daily help in life and way lighter, easier, uses less power, and isn’t loud!!

Don't waste money. Just get something simple.

Sexologist

Just like a biologist, they study biology, a sexologist studies sexuality. Sexology is a scientific study of human sexuality such as psychosexual interactions, sexual interests, behaviour, and functions. Sexology encompasses many different fields such as biology, psychology, medicine, gender studies and much more. There are actually many careers in the sexology topic such as research, sexual education or even counselling. Most issues sexologists have to deal with is the sexual interests in men and woman and their desires. The main point is seeing the transformation of clients and finding out if their sexual interests decrease The vast majority of sexologists did not get degrees in sexology, but rather were trained to study sex within another discipline at the graduate level (e.g., medicine, psychology, anthropology, sociology, etc.).
