    Standing Up To Cancer: A Rhetorical Analysis

    The goal of this persuasive PSA is to stand up to cancer. The video told us the odds of people becoming an astronaut, getting struck by lightning, etc., and at the end, they told us the odds of getting cancer, which was more likely than the other examples. They then told us that we should stand up to cancer if we didn't like the odds. The PSA's goals are reasonable. Standing up to cancer would be a change the audience would make. I would find it unreasonable if the PSA's goal was to make the audience members find a cure for cancer or donate large amounts of money since the audience members are mostly all teenagers.…

    Why Psas Are Beneficial

    The first and final reason why I believe that PSAs are beneficial is because they change the young kids or teen's mind about drinking while driving or about smoking. If a kid or a young teen watches a PSA on the television and they ever get in a situation which concludes drinking while driving or smoking they will change their minds and make the right decision. According to Passage 1, "Their goal was to have a PSA that would stay in the minds of teens, and then keep them from drinking and…

    Hcs 490 Health Education Campaign Research Paper

    Education campaigns are a widely used method of sharing information with consumers. According to the Centers for Disease Control National Prevention Information Network (CDCNPIN) “Health communication can take many forms, both written and verbal, traditional outlets and new media outlets” ("Communication," 2013, p. 1). Public health campaigns found huge success when posters, placed for widespread viewing, helped reduce injuries and the spread of disease. Tuberculosis (TB) posters educated citizens about covering their mouths when they coughed or sneezed to help minimize the spread of TB.…

    After reading Mark Edmundson’s article, “Who are you and what you are doing here?” in Oxford America magazine published on 22 August 2011, I chose to create my Public Service Announcement (PSA) as a poster. In the article, by telling his own story and discussing some false perception of the purpose of higher education which is “a mean to an end”, Edmundson has sent a message: education helps you to become the one you yourself want to. The article has inspired me to come up with the idea about my poster and I believe that with my PSA, you will deeply get into the author’s point as I did. In my PSA, I will use words and symbolic images to express my perspective on this issue. In this critical analysis, I will explain the rhetorical choices I made including the audience, purpose, genre and the organization.…

    Examining Yourself as a Writer

    The art of writing is a unique skill that requires the writer to have great flexibility and be open to improvement. Some may consider themselves a “perfect writer”, when in reality, no one is, and will ever be. Writing is a process that requires one to continuously build on skills learned in previous situations, applying new techniques and strategies to future writing projects. Different settings require different writing styles, and with that being said, one must be willing to change their writing skills to suit the requirements of their current setting. In the following essay I will reflect on past writing assignments, identifying my best and worst writing courses, strengths and weaknesses as a writer, and my opinion on why writing may or may not be beneficial to me throughout my career.…

    Example Of PSA Analysis

    One PSA (Public Service Announcement), that immediately comes to mind, as to being very good is the, “This is your brain on drugs” PSA from the campaign by, Partnership for a Drug-Free America in 1987 (Blistein, 2014). When I first saw this PSA, I was already five years sober. That said, alcohol was my ‘drug of choice’ (problem area), not typical drugs. Still, this PSA scared me to death. I have never forgotten it. I tried to find an article regarding perceived attitudes and drugs before seeing a PSA. Since I already was afraid of drugs and already sober, the PSA had more of an impact, in other words, I already had an established frame of mind or attitude, so seeing this aligned with what I already believed. [If that makes sense]. I believe this might contribute to why I think it is good or effective. Showing the fried egg, is something I that I had learned that drugs do, ‘drugs will fry your brain’ is something I believed. In fact, it is a phrase that I have used and still use to this day. In addition, showing a visual and using fear to evoke others to come on board with the idea is not new. For example, my example for a PSA that is not so good, is the gal who must talk through the hole in her throat. I think this PSA goes overboard, in other words, it shows too much reality. Perhaps, the audio when have been enough. I know so many others that have turned the channel when this was…
