3 theoretical sources: This are my three theoretical sources.
I will be using this quote by Solomon, In his essay “Masters of Desire: The Culture of American Advertising” Jack Solomon say “Appealing to our subconscious emotions rather than to our conscious intellect, advertisements are designed to exploit the discontentment fostered by the American Dream, the constant desire for social success and the material rewards that accompany it” (402). This implies that advertisers should appeal to customers’ feelings and ambitions to persuade them to buy their products. They use the concept of the “American Dream,” in which people strive for a better life and more prosperity, as a hook, and then they capitalize on the discontent or desire that individuals may feel if they haven’t been successful in achieving that ideal
Secondly I will use this quote by Cohen In “Thesis II: The Monster Always Escapes,” Cohen analyzes different versions of the vampire in popular culture and claims that “[i]n each of these vampire stories, the undead returns in slightly different clothing, each time to be read against contemporary social movements or a specific, determining event” (5).[i]n other words, in each vampire tale we know, the undead creature seems in a new form, reflecting the issues and events of the present. The picture of the monster conveys a message that is associated with the wide activities or social movements that were taking place at the time. And for my third theoretical source I will use this quote by “Slogan Language Styles on Fast Food Advertising,” where they say “Advertising is an advanced communication process which brings the audience to the most important information they need they know. Taken from the statement above, it places advertisements as one the message form conveyed by producers on audiences as their potential consumers. With advertising, audiences are expected to get as much information as possible of a product or service advertised.”
According to https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/about-us/values-in-action.html “As the leading global foodservice retailer, we believe it’s our responsibility to make our impact on this world a positive one. We believe in using our influence, size and reach, and engaging with customers, staff, Franchisees, suppliers and partners, as a responsible business with a positive impact on communities globally. We’re proud of the work we do to help make a difference—and will continue working to deliver progress in the communities in which we operate. We’re driving impact by living our purpose. The actions we continue to take today across people, communities and our planet will ensure we’re building a better business and a more trusted brand for generations to come.”
1 argument source: For my argument source I will use this article “Assessing the impact of Advertisement towards Malay Consumers: An Empirical Study of Fast-Food Restaurants in Malaysia”
“The objective states that advertisers understand why advertising likeability seems to relate well to sales. It is related because advertising functions to attract people and also increases profits. This means that advertisers should observe their consumers to know what kind of likeability advertising they prefer (Smit et al, 2006).
Likability effectiveness will enable customers to describe advertisements based on customers experiences and knowledge. In addition, advertisers have therefore been concerned to engage consumers hearts and minds, since, if the theory is correct, only by engaging their intellect and their emotions will advertise shift consumers closer to purchase behavior (Hoek et al, 2000)”.
