Old Spice | Scent Vacation



This commercial is hilarious! I decided to outline it's appeal to women since I think that is the general audience for this.

The intro starts in the classic Old Spice fashion by Saying, "Hello Ladies." and grabs the attention of the audience by using physical appeals.

The main points are that you can use it anywhere and it will take you to your happy place wherever that may be!

The conclusion ends with him sitting on a piano with fondue! This commercial does a good job of appealing to women! Women are the ones who probably buy their husbands deodorant. This is why I think that this is catered towards women.

Thesis

Reality TV unites the societies by appealing to emotions felt by all humans, making comical situations, and being entertaining.

Should I use one show as a specific and then spin off into the different directions using the one show? Or use different shows for examples?

Brainstorming for topics for the Issues paper


When writing this paper I am still confused why it is called Issues paper. I think I am missing something! What is the issue? This is the idea that instantly came to my mind during class.
Keep in mind that these are totally ideas for the paper. Nothing is final!

Reality TV and Globalization:
This relates to globalization because through the TV and Internet societies have become integrated on different levels. The Bachelor for example is popular not only in our nation but is also popular abroad especially in the UK. It connects us with those in other countries besides our own. Other TV shows such as American Idol or So you think you can Dance have an American version and then there is other versions in different countries. Australia has a So you think you can Dance. Because the TV shows are shown in different countries they integrate our society. People also know across the world who differently celebrities are because of reality TV.

I don't know if this topic is good or not!
