These commercials don't give enough detail and information about At&t,so people don't have an idea on what At&t is. Using these techniques, they don't show enough information. I don't support these kinds of advertisements because they give no detail or information about the company. I don't like the technique glittering generalities because they show no information about the company.
Bandwagon is peer preasuring you to choose they're company. It does not sound convincing because you're not actully choosing company,you're just joining the "populars." In ways, it sounds very convincing.In others,it does not. Bandwagon has it's advantages and disadvantages of the way you say it. In this commercial it sounds convincing.

China's first emperor was known as Qin Shi Huangdi. Over 8,000 clay soldiers were made to protect Qin's tomb. He wanted all of them to go with him in the afterlife. He wanted to have power in the afterlife as well. The sculptures are 2,200 years old now. Sculptures were discovered by farmers digging for water. Qin wanted immortality. The sculptures were smashed when they were found. Sculptures are known as the "Terracotta Army."
My Opinions
I dislike Qin Shi Huangdi because he was cruel and insane. Even though he developed many things, he was a bad emperor. He showed no emotion.700,000 people were involved in the making of the sculptures. Began to build a second empire for the afterlife. He wants all the power to himself. First, he killing people for the second empire, the afterlife. Second, he had started building a second empire, which required deaths of many. Finally, he wanted an army in the afterlife which meant all he wants is power.
