ETHICAL

My advertisement posters will most likely include features of the emotional appeal, the 'glittering generalities' labelling my product as "good" stating opinions with no hefty facts. As well as the use of ordinary civilians, 'plain folks'. Logical reasoning will be in there too, the 'bandwagon appeal' using the idea that everybody is in favour of it so they should also join in the crowd, as people nowadays love to follow trends.
