University Should Build a Parking Lot for the Humanities Building
University Should Build a Parking Lot for the Humanities Building
I think the university should consider building a parking lot near the humanities building. Right now there’s only street parking available, and it isn’t enough. Whenever I look for a spot to park in the street near the humanities building, I can’t find one. A parking lot for the humanities building would solve that problem. Also, there’s a wooded area behind the building that would make an ideal location for the parking lot. The university could just clear away the trees and build a lot – the space is already there for it.
Sincerely,
Joe Simmons
Task3:
Using the example from the lecture, explain the use of image advertising to sell products.
Image Advertising
When companies advertise a product, they depend on the use of images as well as words to achieve their goal of increasing sales. An image can be a symbol, character, or design – any visual figure or representation that will link the company with their product in the consumer’s mind. Typically the image is a positive, entertaining one that consumers enjoy so much that it makes them want to buy the product in the future. The image also tends to be easy to remember even though it is usually something not normally or logically associated with the product.
Task4:
Using the example of baboons from the lecture, explain two ways in which display behavior can help animals maintain group unity.
