Equal opportunity is a state of fairness in which job applicants are treated similarly, unhampered by artificial barriers or prejudices or preferences, except when particular distinctions can be explicitly justified.1 According to this often complex and contested concept,2 the intent is that the important jobs in an organization should go to the people who are most qualified – persons most likely to perform ably in a given task – and not go to persons for reasons deemed arbitrary or irrelevant, such as circumstances of birth, upbringing, having well-connected relatives or friends,3 religion, sex,4 ethnicity,4 race, caste,5 or involuntary personal attributes such as disability, age, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

False Advertising

1.) To advertise a game/app/product that isn't the one advertised when you download / buy it
2.) Usually clickbait, but some (most) people use it for money (e.g: businesses, huge international brands / companies, etc.)

1.) Install GardenScapes, where you think it is a thinking game, but its actually a puzzle game!

2.) Haha false advertising go brrr

The Mnemonic Effect in Advertising

This effect results in the way the brain works, when viewing any advertisement.

The less relevant the message is to the viewer, the more likely it is for him to start thinking of the products or services he is already using.

This might create a buying decision, but not the one the advertiser is expecting.

Advertising incorrectly can actually stimulates the sales of the advertisers competition.

E.g. Your driving your car and hear a pizza commercial on the radio.

You might think of the advertiser, but if you know this commercial your more likely to ask yourself if your hungry, then if you feel like pizza, and if so, then you'll probably order pizza from your favorite pizza place, which might not be the one that is advertised.

In the end you might even end up buying a burger instead. In this case the commercial just reminded you that you were hungary.

And this is how the mnemonic effect in advertising works
