Critical Thinking

1) Identify an example of suggestive media EITHER in the presidential campaign OR a marketing example. Media of any sort may be posted, article, advertisement, video, or visual presentations; however, it must be the kind of media that you can post in the Study Room through EITHER copy and paste (you may include an attachment if you wish) or by a functioning link.

2) Provide an analysis of the media presented:1) explain what is being suggested and how it is being suggested applying the concepts discussion in Chapter 8 of the text. Here are some concepts that may be useful in analyzing these videos:

· Lead

· Framing/Photocomposition

· Gestalt

· Sound Bites

· Sensationalism

· Use of Headlines

· Use of Opinion Leaders

· Subliminal 

Give full explanations. Show how these concepts apply to the media you post.
