My favourite advertisements are usually movies, they use the television to broadcast a new trailer and those trailers include the best scenes in the whole movie. My favourite store would be anything that has urban yet dull yet goes with a few things in my wardrobe. I mean, I buy things from everywhere, there's no place that I only look. My favourite soft drink would be cranberry cocktail from minute maid, ohh mannnn <3 This product is because it's been my favourite for the longest time.

A lot of things are working well with our group, the co-operation, the teamwork and how much we divided the work evenly.  I wish we can communicate better and present a little better. We can work better by talking more and being a bit more organized than needed. We can encourage each other and uplift each other's moods.

Isaac Asimov

“Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right.” 
Everyone has different morals, some good and some bad. Some people have a mindset of what's right but some people think that what's right is to gain bragging rights from a fight. Asimov's quote is pretty much black and white; what's right and wrong. It can also come along the lines of 'don't let your pride get in the way,' well, that's how I see it.

If a friend asks me to add a few hours to work time sheet for him and I know he didn't put in the time, I'd give a whole lecture and make him do it. If the salesperson offers an Ipod at a discounted price after hours, I'D TAKE THE DEAL. But.. I'd ask why first. If the teller at the bank gave me too much more money in a banking transaction.. If it's just an extra 20, I'd keep it, if it's like 50 or more, I'd give it back, aha.

Unethical and morally wrong products.

I think a product that can be unethical and morally wrong would be products making fun or mimicking religion. These are very rare but then once in a while you'll run into a product that will go against the religion. Like nuns supporting christianity - naked - and used as like a sex doll or something. Or a Buddha statue wearing a skirt and lipstick. I know these sound so made up, and maybe I am making them up, buuuuuuuuuuuut... It can happen, there are some sick-minded, stupid people roaming the earth. HAH.

I think that the Calgarians took the statistics and took the big challenge of Occupy Wallstreet and just brought it here, to complain. Maybe that one percent where one out of ten people who gets more than the average, protestors just want to bring it out to Calgary to make it seem like we have the same problem.

I think it's become so popular because it's true and someone who has more than enough money is actually admitting it and not in a 'I-have-so-much-money-haha' kind of way. She's also willing to pay the taxes meaning that she needs to pay the taxes that the rich need to pay, 'cause apparently, rich people don't pay enough taxes. I think this statement is just an opinion, all the insurance that she has and money - she just wants everyone to have enough. This

Secrets of Success in 8 words

Do it for love not money; shyness and self-doubt; mothers. These ways of 'success' are just few out of a thousand. In 3 minutes the spokesperson of TED for today claimed that within 8 ways; you would be successful. (serve, passion, work, focus, persist, ideas, good, push and serve.) To serve is to prove what you got, passion is the fire within to bring your idea to life, work is the adrenaline pumping through to get where you need to, focus is your mindset of success, persist is to keep yourself in tact, idea is the natural root of success, good is.. good, and to push is to go through and not quit for anything.

Advertisements

Define it in your own words: Advertisements is a secret brainwashing activity. It's mainly for consumers to consider their marketing and once us consumers give in and buy whatever the ad was representing; they win.

Give examples of good advertisements: Redbull (redbull gives you wings,) and fun ads for school brands like 5 star.

What facts or characteristics are true of good advertisements: Popularity, consumers choice and sometimes, quality.

Give examples of bad advertisements: Long advertisements that don't get to the point until the end.
