My group chose to do an advertisement for dust masks. In our project, the money was used for the creation of the advertisement. We all agreed upon making an ad because we were all good at acting and we were all very creative.

With the evolution of healthcare reform, it is imperative that healthcare organizations utilize target marketing as a way to recruit new business and stay competitive against major organizations.

Thornhill and White state that a unique advantage must be difficult, if not impossible, for other to compete against. Once a complete understanding of the audience and its needs has been established the facility can then start building its program and recruiting key players.

Each day we are bombarded with advertisements from a plethora of corporations in every waking moment of our lives. Advertising agencies have become so advanced at what they do, that often times we may not even realize we are being advertised a product. This raises an interesting ethical dilemma over a certain type of advertising: persuasive advertising. Philosophers, economists, and business professionals have debated over whether or not persuasive advertising is an immoral violation of the autonomy of consumers. While not all forms of advertising are in and of themselves certainly immoral, persuasive advertising is particularly reprehensible due to the fact that not only does it manipulate our unconscious desires of which we are completely unaware in order to sell a product, but it also routinely leads us to act against our own best interest, thus overriding our autonomy.

Everyday, healthcare professionals are faced with ethical dilemmas in their workplace. These ethical dilemmas need to be addressed in order to provide the best care for the patient. Healthcare professionals have to weigh their own personal beliefs, professional beliefs, ethical understandings, and several other factors to decide what the best care for their patient might be. This is illustrated in Mrs. Smith’s case. Mrs. Smith is an 85 year old who has suffered from a large stroke that extends to both of her brains hemispheres which has left her unconscious. She only has some brain stem reflexes and requires a ventilator for support. She is unable to communicate how she wishes to proceed with her healthcare. Mrs. Smith’s children, Sara and Frank have different views regarding their mother’s plan of care. The decision that needs to be made is whether to prolong Mrs. Smith’s life, as Sara would like to do, or stop all treatments and care, as Frank feels his mother would want. In the healthcare field, there are situations similar to this case that happen daily where moral and ethical judgment is necessary to guide the decision that would be best for the patient. The purpose of this paper is to explore and discuss, compare and contrast the personal and professional values, ethical principles, and legal issues regarding Mrs. Smith’s quality of life and further plan of care.

What form of advertising would work vest in order to bring these people to our theatre? The author later states "We must take action to attract new audience members. The best way to do so is by instituting a 'Shakespeare in the Park' program this summer. Two years ago the nearby Avon Repertory Company started a 'Free Plays in the Park' program, and its profits have increased 10 percent since then." Although the Avon Repertory Company hosted a "Free Plays in the Park program, there is no direct correlation between the free plays an additional profits. In addition, the author states that their profit was up 10 percent, but it does not state the actual revenue number. It could be in fact, 10 percent of one dollar, or 10 cents. Perhaps a question regarding this matter would be: What is the best way to increase revenue for our Theatre company? Also, there is no statement on how revenue was attained. If it was a free play in the park, did they make revenue from selling drinks and food? Were there donations? In the last line the author states: "Therefore, I recommend that we start a 'Shakespeare in the Park' program of our
