Persuasion.

Persuade - to move by argument, entreaty, or expostulation to a belief, position, or course of action. It means to force someone to do something or agree with one's opinion(s).

Persuasions are used in various ways like talking or in an article. But nowadays, techniques of persuasion are use in media literacy, very often in commercials and/or advertisements. Here are some of the techniques which are used in ads/commercials:

Humor
Macho
Family
Friends
Fun
Cartoon
Sexy
Nature
Celebrity
Wealth's

Often these days, we have commercials that persuades us to buy the product. Few of those ads may be true but some of them just put silly or sexy scenes just for people to think it's good to buy the product. Ads do that more often now so that people will think that the product is worth it. But some people these days don't think twice if they DO NEED the product or it could just be just A WASTE OF MONEY.
