Objective: The purpose of this assignment is to apply the persuasion knowledge you had learned from this class to analyze a mass-produced persuasive message from real-life communication.
Requirements: The assignment requires you to:
- Choose and describe a mass-produced persuasive message (e.g., a print advertisement, a commercial, a political debate, etc., 1-page maximum).
- Identify and explain at least three different theories and concepts from our textbook that are related to the message. Think about how the theories explain the persuasiveness that comes out in the chosen message. What implication does this have for the field or industry? At least 3 pages long.
- Include a short conclusion paragraph.
The whole writing should be 4-5 pages (not including sample message or reference page), double-spaced and use APA format, and should include in-text citations and a reference page (no need for a separate title page or an abstract section). Please also include a sample of the message (or its link) at the beginning or the end of the writing.
