Stores Tactics to Make Customers Spend More Money (Free Choice)

If you have ever gone shopping and seen a sale sign on a store window that you become excited? And then you go in the store and find out that the sale that was prominent on the poster wasn't actually how the sale seemed. Well if this has happened to you this is a clear example of how companies are trying to drawn in customers by tricking them with an incomplete truth being told. Stores that I have experienced this is was in stores like Pac Sun, Apple, Hollister, and many more. In these stores, they would state a certain deal that would appeal to any of the customers and then there would be a confusing process of the deal where one thing would be 25% off of a certain pieces of clothing and then the other piece of clothing would be full price. But, then once you go up to pay the employees would state that the deal only worked if you get a certain amount of items. And since stores like Pac Sun do this and their main customers are teens, it's seems like they are manipulating teens to spend more in order to obtain the deal. Or when there was a deal about how when you buy one phone you get another free, but in reality you don't receive a free phone. So in the end, stores like that are using tactics to trick and manipulate people in order to spend more money. 

Guerilla Advertising in Public Transport

Guerilla Advertising is the tactic of using non-traditional advertising. I observed this type of advertising while driving and I have noticed all the advertisement on the buses, lift cars, taxis, and even U-Haul trucks. And when I had observed the advertisements they would range from a store wanting more exposure to political ads. I found this interesting because though the majority of people choose to ignore the ads on the public transportation, advertisers still continue to do it. And when I have seen these advertisements anyone could tell that they are meant for a specific target group that they are trying to appeal to. So when advertising consistently they are trying to be the one ad that sticks out from the rest and they expand their range through public transportation. Therefore, utilization the tactics of Guerilla Advertising.

Abortion Politics

When it comes to the topic of abortion, there are multiple opinions based on it. But, as people continue to discuss about it more, there is a clear hidden aspect to it. And within the fight for abortion rights, a few group of individuals such as the democrats used that platform for a certain reason. This reason was political based and was used to motivate anti-Trump voters. So even though people were choosing to represent the rights for abortion, some had a bigger motivative which was more important than fighting for rights. So this clearly shows how one can hide behind a cause so that they are able to benefit from it. And throughout the article that I had read and observed, it is very much opinionated and choosing to further agree with the right of abortion. And the author had a lot to say about how politics had a huge part within the debate around abortion rights, which is able to show that politics will always have an influence on basic human rights.

Gun Restriction

Within the article that I had observed, I was interested with how the author chose to describe the general topic but still was able to state his opinions. The topic that was being discussed is whether guns should have more restrictions placed upon them or should it be dismissed. So when reading further into the argument I found how though the article is just a general insight into the concern about gun restrictions, at the same time it was able to show the author's opinion. And we are able to see this through his examples he chose to include. And as this topic is a big and ongoing discussion I continued to look further into the topic and looked and saw two different types of arguments. I saw that in one article it was very much opinionated and chose to specifically state their standpoint of the topic. And I saw that others were giving the general aspect of the topic, but still hinting their opinions within the article.
