What is the role of public service announcements in our media culture? What are some of the topics your group thought of for your PSA? What role did you play in creating the plan?

- the role of PSA's in our culture is to inform the public on issues that happen often in communities and stuff. Also to help prevent certain issues and things to better everyone.
My group thought of 2 ideas for PSA's our first idea was the awareness of AED machines and how to use them, our second idea was the importance of self expression.
The role I played in creating the plan was giving ideas and drawing stuff.

Think about an effective advertisement or media campaign. Why is it effective? How does advertising play a role in what you buy?

- An effective advertisement campaign is the budlight beer commercials. I personally do not drink budlight or any other alcoholic beverages, but if I did I would most likely drink budlight. the budlight light advertisements are very comical and stay in your head, which is probably why there so successful. Advertising plays a role in what you buy beacuse if the product is advertised well then you'll want to buy the product.
