Flu Vaccine Campaigns
There were four different ads for the flu vaccine, they all used common advertising techniques. I felt that the two ads that used association didn't do a good job of persuading me towards getting the flu vaccine. The other two ads did a good job of promoting the flu vaccine.

I didn't like the two ads that used association. The one ad used the slogan "Share Music, Not the Flu" The target audience was young adults. I felt this was patronizing, because instead of telling it in a factual straightforward way, they seem to have "dumbed it down".

The other ad that used association had the slogan "Share Popcorn, Not the Flu" accompanied with a picture of children eating popcorn. Similarly to the other ad I felt this was also patronizing. They seemed

    Mandatory Flu Shots Case Analysis

    There have been legal ramifications such as civil rights lawsuits against hospitals for loss of employment due to mandatory flu shots. A Michigan nurse filed a $100 million lawsuit against the hospital requiring her to get a flu shot. Karen Good filed a lawsuit in Ohio for being terminated due to vaccine refusal due to religious beliefs. In 2013, she was denied the religious exemption and she now is suing for back pay, statutory liquidated damages, emotional distress and loss of salary. She is suing under the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, with one count of religious discrimination, religious discrimination failure to accommodate and retaliation (Dickson, 2014). In Cincinnati, a former customer service representative at a hospital is suing the hospital for being terminated because she was vegan and refused to consume animal…

    Flu Shot Research Paper

    When government workers made the flu shot available to everyone people started to worry about what the government was really trying to do. Many thought it was made to help fight the flu, but is that really what the government is trying to do? The flu shot carries high levels of mercury: the chemical element with the atomic number 80, a heavy silvery metal that is liquid at room temperature. Mercury is used in streetlights and fluorescent bulbs and it’s also one of the ingredients in the shot. The flu shot is a scam that has been used on almost all of the people in America.…

    Descriptive Essay: The Real Life Pac-Man

    Commercials are designed to attract people to a certain product that they are planning to sale.

    Vaccine War In The United States Essay

    In 2010 PBS aired a one hour Frontline documentary about the vaccine war in the United States. This documentary pitted scientists and parents against each other, scientist’s back up their claims with scientific evidence while the parent’s arguments are solely based on opinion. The parents introduced throughout the film who were against vaccines made claims that the vaccines given to children in today’s world are the cause of many issues, like the rise in autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. These parents also feel there is no need to vaccinate because the diseases that their children are being vaccinated for are no longer an issue in the united states. While the scientists stress the importance of vaccines because they have decreased the issues of these diseases that cause so many problems when infected. A lot of these scientists are older and were children when these diseases had outbreaks and may have even gotten the disease themselves. In the films conclusion Arthur Caplan is quoted saying “Do good in the name of children. Do good in the name of public health”. This quote leaves the viewers with the decision on who to side with. I feel like the documentary was in favor of the scientists and were in support of vaccinating children.…

    Gun Control Pros

    Both ads are powerful. They both shock you and make you question and think twice about gun control. However, the first ad, in which a gun is pointing directly at you, is ultimately more persuasive, since it’s more realistic. Kids can get hurt when around guns which is an actual outcome. If you forget to lock the trigger on a gun and you can accidentally shoot someone, or if you’re in the woods and think a child is a deer or a different type of animal you are trying to hunt you could accidentally shoot them. The image in the audience’s head is more vivid because the gun is pointing directly at them so they get a sense of what a someone feels like before they get shot. When looking at the photo the audience feels frightened and the caption on the photo makes the photo more deep. It isn’t saying to protect your children or make sure they are safe around guns, it asks, “are your children safe?”. This makes the audience question themselves and question the law asking themselves if gun control should be promoted or not and if children in general are…

    Aging in the Media

    In the two commercials mentioned above, the elderly are shown to resemble children, who may seem harmless, but also give the impression that the elderly only have the mental capacity of a child. The commercials also encourage the societal attitude toward the elderly, which shows that old people are a burden on society, an inconvenience at best, and a nuisance at worst.…
