Individual Oral Practice


Caption:
HELPING US TO WORK OR REPLACING HUMAN WORKERS?


i'm going to describe the picture; in the picture you can appreciate a robots, at the right appear a robot with a human head obviously doesn't a real human head, at the background appear a poster with japanese letters and symbols of a company, at the left and the center appear a two robots similar to a human but you can know is a robot because only use a metal pieces and don't use a pieces who simulated the human body or human skin.
the image represent the faster of the technology and in which level we are of the technology but the caption talk about if the robots help to us to make more easy the work or replacing us, i think the caption tell to us if the technonoly advance so fast, come to start to replacing us but, i think if the technology advance fast we come to make the work more easy and the people come to make easyer jobs, and the people come to leave more.
the technology advance fast and the people start to think the social relationship is more hard to maintain because they think the technology separates the people but i don't the same for example facebook make a connections with the family, when they live far like in another country and i think the technology is a good advance of the society because make a globalization
the ethical problems with the technology is the methodology how the advance because some times the people for create medical technologys they use an animals for make a vacuum or others solutions. but this ethical problems doesn't appears a lot because they try to use the better solution for the people don't feel hurt when they use the medicine.
in conclusion the technology is good because with that advances the people come to live more and have a better life compared with the before years

Activity 2: quote analysis



” Advertising is everywhere you look, whether it is in the newspaper

you pick up daily or on that billboard you see while driving down

the highway….”



When you look at ads you see the different aspects of it as when the ads use the pictures or use more words for send a message, for example when you driving or walking in the city you see the ads everywhere because you look the streets and appears publicity about clothes or soda, the work of publicity is try sell a product or service of something and that's because you turn on the tv and watch a tv show you see ads of products or services because they need show the product for know who saw the products and when; they make a projects of the ads for sell more and get more money, sometimes they work with a celebrity or normal people for show how they feel with this product.

The work of the people who make the ads is really hard  but they work for show us the publicity in the better place or in the better situation, for example the powerade publicity, normally appears in the sports event because is the best place for show this product and you can't show a alcohol in the sports events because the people who see this event normally don't drink alcohol when they want play a sport.

The quote is true seen from my point of view, because i saw all my life ads and i think i live whit the ads, sometimes a walk to the school and i saw publicity about game of soccer or houses , that's because I think the quote is good and is true. The ads affect to the people all times because they work for change  how think the people for the product, work hard for try sell this product.





Activity 1

"The very first law in advertising is to avoid
 the concrete promise and cultivate
 the delightfully vague."
                                                       Bill Cosby



The quote try to explain how do the ads work, as you can see, it uses the subjective language, which describes itself by using different artistic elements such as image, various colors, etc. In this manner, show us the hard work before make an ad, and how the ads make a fantastics worlds for the people and with that make a fake promises "avoid the concrete promise", the target of the promise is create a new expectation of the product. 

In this case I agree with the quote, but the other part of the quote "cultivate the delightfully vague" explain how work the ads, maybe explain how the work with the lies for sell a product who maybe we never need but we want for make better our life. The example for this case i the apple product because maybe you don't need this brand but the ads work for make the better ideas of the product.
