Find an ad that involves social and prestige suggestions—techniques based on the premise that you should buy or do something because many others do so (social suggestion) or some well-known person makes a recommendation (prestige suggestions).
1. What product does this ad attempt to market, and where is the ad from? Describe or attach
2. To which component(s) of attitudes (e.g., affective, behavioral, cognitive) does this ad appeal? How can you tell? Was this a good strategy for this product/audience?
3. What route of persuasion do the advertisers seem to use (e.g., central/systematic route vs. peripheral/heuristic)? Was that a good choice? Specifically, what central or peripheral cues are used?
4. Does the ad attempt to describe the source of its product information (e.g., "dentists agree that _____" or "experts suggest ____?" Do these sources come off as credible and/or attractive? If there was no expert, do you think one would have helped? Why or why not?
5. What about the communication itself? Are the arguments weak/strong, one-sided/two- sided, overt/implied, discrepant with the audience/in-line with the audience, or not present at all? Were these good choices?
6. What about the target of the communication? Who are the advertisers targeting, how can you tell, and was that a good decision? How might this ad be different if directed towards an audience from a more interdependent culture?
7. Describe how AT LEAST ONE concept that we have discussed (e.g. dissonance, emotions, attitudes, self-monitoring, etc. – your choice) is relevant to the ad’s persuasiveness.

c)Cerebral lateralization – each side of the cortex is specializes in certain kinds of processing. Explain with regard to each side of the cortex.

Would you flip a coin for the chance of winning two dollars? What if you were given a dollar and offered the chance to flip a coin to either gain a second dollar or lose the first? Which wager seems more appealing—the first or the second?
Far more people choose the first wager than the second. Both scenarios have exactly the same probability of outcomes: a 50% chance of ending up with nothing, and a 50% chance of ending up with two dollars. Why might the first wager appeal to people? Do we always make the best possible decision?
Impediments are factors that can hinder decision making. While they often vary by situation, common impediments exist that might influence decision making in general.
In this Discussion, you explain a difficult decision you have made. You also describe impediments that you faced when making this decision, as well as common decision-making impediments.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a brief description of a recent difficult decision you made between two or more alternatives.
Then explain the nature of two impediments that you faced in making the decision.
Finally, describe two common impediments to optimal decision making.
