Links from Last Week's Videos

Here are the videos we watched in case you'd like to see them again. Also, just to clarify since there may be some confusion, for your presentation and paper you are to look at political advertisements (i.e. not product advertisements) - these are what we looked at and discussed in class. Again, your political "issue" can be a particular proposition, a specific campaign (such as governor, president, mayor, etc.), or a general topic up for debate in the political sphere (such as same sex marriage). To clarify again, there needs to be some sort of pending legislation which is being advertised. While the ads don't necessarily have to link to the specific proposition (such as we saw in the "Gathering Storm" video), it cannot be a broad social issue (such as "racism"). The reason for this is that you are generally not going to find specific advertisements on such a broad topic. This issue/campaign can be current or past. Also, make sure your presentation is focused on your analysis on the propaganda, rather than your opinion on the issue.

Email me if you are not sure what I am talking about, because this is a crucial part of "addressing the task!"
