Marthin Luther King Junior Speech
Pathos
Martin Luther
King junior uses quiet of bit of Pathos in his “I have a Dream,” because it is
full of emotional situations and all because of the time period in which this
speech was made. The use of Pathos, he uses in his speech is outstanding,
because though many people think, his speech is mainly for African American
people, and it is actually for White and African American people of both
genders. It is for both races because the way he says things and how he wants
equality, because he doesn’t just want equality for African American people, he
wants it for women as well, so therefore it is for all genders and races in a
sense. I believe a huge emotional appeal to his audience is when he says “and
the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together,”
this was a use from the Bible as well, which brings plenty of emotions itself
already. He uses this Biblical approach in order to provide a sense of belief
and faith in what he is saying, trying to provide that it is true, because him
being from where he is from and being an African American, makes what he says
not truthful, so this quote makes all things said in this speech through. Which
I believe was one of his biggest approaches was to make it true and show how
true it really is. This is engaging to his audience because this is for them
and he is using lots of metaphor which engages his audience into the speech
more because he is being persuasive.
Logos
In
Martin Luther King Junior, “I have a Dream Speech,” there is some logos in it
because his speech is very logical. He uses these analogies to himself, the people,
and different points in history, which makes a logical appeal. An example of
Logos, which is also an analogy, is “America has given the Negro people a bad check,
a check which has come back marked insufficient funds,” this is a logical form
of reasoning to his cause, which makes his speech even stronger. This is a
reason he uses because everyone understands money and money is a big part in
the American life now and back then as well, so therefore his audience can relate
to his speech in that way. Also, this is reliable because everyone will reserve
a bad check in at least some point in their life, so that is logical for Dr.
King.
Ethos
The “I
have a Dream Speech,” by Martin Luther King Junior has some Ethos in it as
well. Well actually more or less credibility because ethos is credibility. An
example of Ethos is when he announces Abraham Lincoln, when he says “five score
years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed
the emancipation proclamation.” This is credible because it is something
Lincoln did, which he is a reliable source, therefore it must be credible. Also,
this brought some authority to his speech, because he shows how much he knows
and provides the people wrong. The whole speech in a sense is credible though,
since Dr. King said it, and he is a reliable source, it is credible, which is ethos.

The three logical appeals
Logos/ ethos
1. The first sentence when he says " Twenty- five years ago, only a handful of American companies directed their marketing at children-- Disney, McDonalds, candy makers, toy makers, manufactures of breakfast cereals.'
- This statement makes a great argument because the statement is true, that we have more ads targeting kids, than we have ever had, and some of those ads shouldn't even be targeting kids, so it is bad. Also, it is a good argument because it is true and reliable.
Pathos/ Logos
2. " the decade of the child consumer"
- This line makes an effective argument because during the 1980s, it was a decade for child consumers because that is when more and more ads began targeting to children rather than adults. It makes an effective emotional appeal because it makes you feel bad because children are the target for everything, and honestly this shouldn't be the case for anything.
Pathos
3. The discontinued Joe Camel campaign, which used a hip cartoon character to sell cigarettes, showed how easily children can be influenced by the right corporate character.
- This is an effective argument because as sad, as it might be, it is so true because if there is a cartoon in an ad, a child will be more likely to watch it and want what that cartoon has.
Ethos
4. Children's clubs have for years been considered an effective means of targeting ads and collecting demographics information; the clubs appeal to a child's fundamental need for status and belonging.
- This is an effective argument because is it very true, that targeting to kids, appeals to them and then they want it, which is an effective way how producers get their money.

Review Questions
A Barbie Doll made by Mattel
A positive for the company, when using children for broadcast media, is that more people will buy it because their child wants it and that it connects children to an actual toy, that isn't a Ipad, because now of days, more children would rather play on an ipad than an actual toy such as a Barbie. Some negatives to broadcast media is that children are watching too much tv and spoiling their brains, and that they are sending some not true messages to children, such as how awesome the toy is and how they must have it. The Stories being sold here is that it is not like any other Barbie doll, which isn't true because it basically is and that the kids needs in, when in all reality, the child doesn't need it because I bet they already have plenty of barbies. The Values being sold here, is how value that doll is and how other children would be jealous, and the actual value of a dollar because some barbies aren't so cheap. I can conclude that broadcast media is focusing too much on children because most ads are to children since they are more likely to want something than an adult, and they know if a kid likes it, than their parents will buy it for them, and they make money from it, which is their biggest goal.
Number two
I believe the role corporations should play in our lives today is to advertise about certain topics in such ways as print media, broadcast media, and pop- up media, but I do believe some of the ads should be limited because we see them so much, and many affect our children. The role corporations play right now is advertising, what they want, whenever they want, and however they want without any consent from most outside sources. I believe age doesn't always matter with the topic on advertising because many things, can have more than one age group, such as a jump rope for intense. The media has a young children around the age of eight jump roping on a commercial telling the viewers to buy it because it is so awesome, now this ad is made towards young children. But in reality a jump rope can be used from a person the age of lets say three to sixty, so therefore their ad is being bias and irreverent because they only use on target audience. I mean for a toy, a young child is perfect but for a kitchen appliance an adult is better because of what that product is used for. The age matters a lot to the consumers because they want to know if it is actually good for them, but some ads lie, when they don't actually use someone of the right age for that ad. So, in conclusion age can matter in corporations ads, but it doesn't always have to. ( for this exercise, I wasn't too sure on exactly what to do for this, so I just tried my best and I hope it is good enough, I didn't really understand it.)
