Convincing you not to smoke

In the particular ad I presented on, many different things were portrayed. There was a certain serenity provided by the lake and the act of fishing. This is to show that patience and calm are required for something as delicate as an addictive problem. The people fishing are seemingly portrayed as father and daughter due to their relative size. This promotes the ideal of family before all, since no other people are present. In the text, the word help is emphasized over the rest of the words. This is done by making it larger, bold, and red instead of black. This is done to promote the ideal of compassion. Additionally the text at the bottom says "talk to your kids, they will listen". This is to encourage parents to take a greater role in their kids' lives by assuring them that their kids will be receptive to the parents' advice on problems.It focuses particularly the problem of youths smoking.  Teens and adults alike are empowered. Additionally no one is marginalized or excluded. In order for the ad to be effective it must apply to all. In order to do so this ad must not show the faces of the people present. Thus it does not, only showing their profile partaking in a common family activity. The point of this ad is to stop teenage smoking. This is a true problem in the United States of America. That fact makes this identifiable to many adults and teens in the country where drug abuse is rampant.

Why WW2 was not Germany's fault

Many are quick to pin the blame for WW2 on Germany. People use their starting of WW1 as proof. they say that the germans were unhappy after their defeat and humiliation. But, odd as it may seem, the people to blame are the Entente of WW1.
While nearing the end of WW1, the german spirit had been broken. The people were malnourished and over worked. The autocracy fell and they needed a new government.
So the Entente established the Weimar Republic. However, the european portion of the entente, meaning France and Britain at the time, were not content with only defeating the Germans. They imposed reparations, or large fees due to the losers of a war as an apology and to pay for damages. the brand new, nearly unaided, and complete priha that was the Weimar Republic had no money. So they began to print and print in order to pay off the Entente. Unfortunately, the only real effect of all the money printing was rapid inflation. No one saw an increase in pay. So a loaf of bread costed about a wheel barrel full of marks, the form of money at the time. This increased the ill feelings in Germany. Why was no one helping? What could the people to to feed their families? There were no answers to be found in germany.
Until a man name Hitler used his rhetoric to persuade a nation. He told them that he had the solutions, that he could fix germany and feed her families. So the people did the only thing they thought they could. They followed that man i to war again. To prove german superiority (no one is superior based on race) and reclaim what had been stole from them. They wanted their old lives back, and we forced them into following one of the most evil men of all time.
