A Touching Video Analysis

This video is a lecture by Jean Kilbourne. She is the creator of several films in the Killing us Softly series, which deal with the exploitation of women in advertising. She is also a famed author, speaker and political advisor.

Many people throughout the world look at homeless people negatively, and that is some thing they do not deserve. People automatically assume homeless people are dirty, uneducated, and dangerous, but this is not always true. Many homeless people are war veterans and need help to get their life back on track, but they are too scared and hated to seek it. The stereotypes associated with homeless people make many people shy away from helping them and that is one of the reasons why they are really suffering. I chose homelessness as my topic because it is an issue that should be addressed and examined more carefully. People treat homeless people unfairly because of the stereotypes associated with them and choose to ignore them instead of helping them.

Going on the end of the year service trip to Denver really opened my eyes to how many people are affected by homelessness. Homelessness can have many causes and can happen to anyone. In our societal system today once someone has reached poverty and become homeless it is very hard to recover from this cycle of poverty.

this video has impacted me and what I will take away from this video. Also, what will be

What is the tone of this video? What is the purpose? Who is the audience? Did you like the video, or not? Why?

The Hero’s Journey is a theme I was somewhat familiar with prior to viewing the video. Although I haven’t actually read most of them many of my favorite films are from literary works. Many of them were named in the video. I was able to recognize the similar themes in The Wizard of Oz, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Harry Potter.

Have you ever felt strongly about something? There are others who have to, join the cause to help fight the homelessness crisis,, you canmake a difference. The homeless crisis is a worldwide problem that needs to be resolved. It is so bad we have children in unconventional living places such as under bridges, foster homes, and in general outside. We need to solve it efficiently and effectively. Through fundraising foundations, temporary shelters, and last but not least Soup Kitchens we can dramatically reduce homelessness.

The central message of the video is that there are things in life that you cannot let go because they are part of you.

The type of audiences that I will be appealing to are all three, resistant, neutral sympathetic. I will be using the appeal of pathos. As I recall, pathos is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response. The types of visuals I will be using to make this video interesting are videos. My main goals for my commercial are to make people aware of police brutality. Also, how many cases have occur just in the year 2015. Lastly, how police brutality in the U.S. compares to other countries. I want to be able to touch people’s hearts and help them see what is going on in our communities. One thing that I learned from the video, 2010 NCVRW PSA- Be The One, was how to use pathos effectively.

I gripped my best friend’s hand tightly. We had been chosen to sing for the nearby homeless shelter, and we had no idea what to expect. However, when we arrived, we realized that the group of people chattering over the breakfast table, studying in the corner, and sipping their coffee seemed perfectly average! :) We soon realized that our perception of homeless and low-income families are twisted; however, said homeless and low-income families still do need assistance. I want to change these issues by finishing current projects, reaching out to organizations and changing the media’s ‘homeless and low-income person’ stereotype.

With our own eyes, we see the homeless. With our ears, we hear the homeless pleading for help. This is not an issue that has arisen in the past year or decade; we as individuals already have knowledge of this issue, yet we don’t do anything about it. As global citizens, I believe it is time for us to face the homeless and lend them a helping hand. No matter what gender, age, race or ethnicity, everyone should have a place to call home. We must raise more awareness for the homeless and do our part to make sure that each person has the fundamental human needs that they are entitled

Tim sees men running into stores stealing things. Tim manages to get to his feet and someone helps him up. The stranger tells Tim that he was nicked by a bullet. Tim looks back at the street and there is a man lying right where he was dead. The man gives Tim his briefcase back. Tim just stands there stunned and people just move around him.

This was an interesting video, this is also the first I have ever heard of Julie Butterfly. I enjoyed watching the video and learning about her experience and the environmental cause she stood for. I have an understanding of her compassion and fight for “Luna”. I believe there is a fine line between using resources responsibly for production and improvement of society as a whole and the abuse of those resources. Typically the abuse comes from greed and the need for money or finances. In the documentary video it did not touch on the financial desperation of Pacific Lumber through a number of their years. The company itself ceased to exist in 2008, it takes a few years for a company to go under, and so I believe that several of their decisions

Have you ever wondered why homelessness is such a giant problem in the U.S? Well, you should. Homelessness is such a big problem in the U.S. because of how the people who live here are careless and ignorant towards people living on the streets, and unwilling to give of themselves to help them. If we came together as a country then maybe we can resolve or fix most of this problem by helping the homeless get into shelters and getting them other help that they need. Most people don’t realize how hard it is for the homeless and how easy it could be to end up like them. I think that if we can help out this problem it will make a whole ton of people happy and we can make this country even better than it already is. Through the people

As I stated before, far too often our society ignores that homelessness is a struggle for many people. Additionally, our society often thinks these people choose to be homeless. Terra talked about an incident at a gas station, and how one of the employees at the gas station said all the people at across the street are drunks and addicts. She talked about how upset she gets when people have these misconceptions about people that are struggling with homelessness. Hearing her talk about this broke my heart because our society should not shame people for being homeless; instead, we should be looking at solutions to end homelessness. It is a human right to have basic human needs, yet our society continually provokes their unjust agenda.
