Many people still live with their parents while they are in
college. I do and I like it to an extent because I have money and I have them
to keep me on track with my school. But, I think that when you are in college
you should live on you own and be on your own. It gives you more freedom and
you get to do what you want as long as you are responsible about what you do. It’s
hard to live at home sometimes because your parents are always on you back with
what time you are going to be home that night, or what you are doing all the
time. Living on you own gives you a different look on life. It teaches you how
to manage your money and how to fend for yourself. Doing it while you are in
college is the best way to do this. You can have your parents still behind you
to fall back on in case you struggle at first. I would like to live on my own
and get out of how my parents treat me like I’m still a little kid. I was
always responsible and I never stayed out later than when I was supposed to. So
shouldn’t I get some breathing room now that I am in college? I don’t think
that some parents realize that if you move out you would be doing the things
that you are asking them to do without asking them. So shouldn’t they give you
a little more freedom? So is moving out in college the right thing to do?

“Accident” Advertisement from Apple (Mac vs. PC):
In this commercial the argument is a Mac computer vs. a PC
computer. They argue how the Mac is better because if someone steps on a cord
the Mac’s cord is magnetic so it pops off. Whereas the PC’s cord is a plug and
it will just knock the computer onto the ground a ruin it. They also say how Mac has thought everything
through so that it can’t be damaged easily.
They show this by having an old guy in a wheel chair with cast all over be
the PC, and they Mac is a younger guy undamaged and happy. They used a younger
guy to show that the Mac is a better choice saying it can move faster and it is
a newer thing. They used an older man as the PC to show that it moves slower
and that it is an older thing. Kids these days like the newer “younger” things.
In this argument the audience is a younger generations or college students that
are looking to buy a computer. They show
this by using a younger man and an older man as well. I think that this is a
great way to argue that Mac is a better choice than a PC. They use very clever ways to determine which
is better and they use the same thing in most all of their commercials.
