In each of the topics a group is shamed for partaking in a trend that is looked down upon in society.  For example, indulging in behaviors such as drinking and driving, using tobacco products, and changing themselves to be approved in society. For example, the anti tobacco commercial's shame teenagers for using those products by the stress they put their body through and the addiction that takes over. Another example, is those who are involved in drinking and driving. For instance, people are shamed for taking the risk of driving intoxicated on the road. They are shamed as an individual and perceived in a different light for their actions.

Claim 2: Medias released to prevent individuals in society in participating in their issue. They wish individuals make the choice to not initiate in these actions before it becomes a bigger issue. For example, each of these topics show society how these topics shape our future for how it takes control of our reality. We need to prevent the futures before it becomes our new reality. In the commercials dealing with drinking and driving, they provide outcomes of negative consequence due to making the decision after drinking to drive a vehicle. Another example would be in the media released by the colorism movement portrays individuals to changing their perception of how they view themselves through their skin color. For instance, they hold a particular skin color above others in superiority.]]> 2018-10-15 17:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tidwellosuedu/thesisclaims1245/wish/292944013 https://padlet.com/tidwellosuedu/thesisclaims1245/wish/292944429 The use of persuasion is used in both a cigarette ad by using a doctor to promote their product and the Allstate insurance commercials by using an imaginary figure called “Mayhem” aka worse case scenario. In both of these ads they use exaggeration by using a doctor to try and promote their cigarettes as “healthy” and Allstate exaggerates the worst case scenario by using a character named Mayhem to show what can really happen to your lively hood if you don’t have insurance. 

When commercials and ads use “mascots” to try and ease the mood and dismiss fear they are actually making people want their product. In our group this is good in one case and bad in two cases. In the good case they are getting people to buy insurance by using a funny character to express the worst case scenario. In the two bad cases they are using a puppy in a Heineken commercial that licks up alcohol and gets drunk, which then shows the dog leading his blind owner into a drunken “joyride”. In this case the mascot is good for the company because people will want to buy their product, but bad for the idea of drinking responsibly and not drunk driving. In the other case the ad uses a doctor to tell you that cigarettes aren’t bad and that you should smoke them. ]]> 2018-10-15 17:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tidwellosuedu/thesisclaims1245/wish/292944429 https://padlet.com/tidwellosuedu/thesisclaims1245/wish/292946986 Claim 1: Nike/Kaepernick and Rachel Maddows are trying to get a political point across to the people. Maddows covers how Trump and Russia are an issue and Trump attacks Kaepernick for standing up for what he believes in.


Claim 2: The people have a choice to stand up for what they believe. For example Kaepernick is standing up for police brutality and equality. When things seem overwhelming or hopeless you have a voice to help prepare for what could happen. ]]> 2018-10-15 17:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tidwellosuedu/thesisclaims1245/wish/292946986 https://padlet.com/tidwellosuedu/thesisclaims1245/wish/292947017 Women and children who are sex trafficked / are in prostitution, and women who are looked down for what they choose to wear shouldn't be defined that way for how sexual they want to be and how promiscuous they are. ]]> 2018-10-15 17:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tidwellosuedu/thesisclaims1245/wish/292947017
