The Car Keys In The Shaping Of A Gun

According to Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), 36.5 million Americans currently smoke, that is about fifteen percent of the population which is equal to the combined population of America’s twenty-five largest cities. Although anti-smoking advertisements are shown throughout the United States, people do not take them seriously half the time. The advertisement in this analysis showcases a grayish background, with the colors focusing mainly on a cigarette box that has the cigarettes put into crayon labels and the box also opens like a crayon box. There is also a child’s writing with crayons saying, “Just like mommy.” From this, the image showcases the dangers of smoking and the causes it has on loved ones. This advertisement uses strong ethos, pathos, and logos to get ASH’s point across very clear.

We can see that they drink is really refreshing. This advertisement really shows how Pepsi-Cola is refreshing and satisfactory. A Pepsi on a hot, sunny afternoon is simply amazing, whether one is spending the day with their family, friends, and couple, at a party or even while working. Drinking a Pepsi can make your life simply better; it makes you forget about your problems. Even if you are not on the beach, you can pull out a chain in your back door porch, pull out your bucket of Pepsi with a bunch of ice. Get a little table, set it on the side of your chair, turn your Pandora on and put your life in pause and enjoy the hot sunny afternoon as if you were out on the beach with your friend. It can’t get better than that can

However, Pepsi began to slowly catch up to their status and in the early 1980s, Coke had only a one percent lead over Pepsi in exclusive drinkers. Coke was very concerned with this because there product was more readily available than Pepsi’s and they spent more than $100 million more annually on advertising and they really didn’t want Pepsi to usurp their rank as the leading cola. However, Pepsi had been running commercials on television where they put Coca Cola and Pepsi head-to-head in a blind taste test that came to be known as the Pepsi Challenge. In this challenge, Pepsi had faithful coke drinkers take a sip from two different glasses and pick which sample they preferred. One of the cups was marked with a “Q” and the other was marked with an “M.” They consistently chose the cup marked “M,” which would be the cup holding Pepsi. When Coca Cola heard of this challenge, they immediately wanted to prove it to be false, so they conducted blind taste tests themselves. However, when their tests were performed, they got the same results as Pepsi, and the majority of the testers, 57%, preferred Pepsi over Coke. These results really concerned Coca Cola, and they began to do a plethora of other market research projects. They couldn’t figure out exactly what it was that made testers prefer Pepsi, but eventually decided that it must be the taste. From this came the creation of what came to be known as “New Coke.” Coca Cola had their scientists experiment with the secret

This advertisement was clearly designed to conjure a response from its audience, which are both smokers and non-smokers alike. In the non-smoking audience, the image will either increase their distaste of smoking and its negative health effects, or they will be unconcerned because it has little or no effect on them or their lives. The audience it would appeal most to is the people who vehemently oppose cigarettes and smoking. People like this may believe that anti-smoking ads will reach smokers and somehow convince them to quit, but this is probably not the case. To smokers, the image will be a reminder of the harm they are doing to their bodies. But for the most part, they will likely be indifferent to the image because they already know it’s bad for their health, and will continue to smoke because they are either addicted or are just apathetic to the situation. They may even find ads such as this obnoxious and unoriginal because they feel as if it’s repetitive and a personal attack on them and their views and habits. Because smoking is seen as such a bad thing in U.S. society, they may detach themselves from advertisements that contradict what they believe is okay.

Geoffrey Canada’s purpose in writing the book, Fist Stick Knife Gun, was to create awareness and educate all people of the reality and harshness of the violence in America’s inner cities to encourage others to help the cause of relinquishing it. Throughout the course of his book, he writes in explicit detail his experiences in Harlem and the Bronx, his way out, and his continuous effort to end said violence; in support of his intent.

This is an anti-smoking advertisement geared towards parents of young children. The advertisement is overall plain and simple; it gets straight to the point when you look at it and utilizes a dark theme. This anti-smoking advertisement is trying to evoke a sense of “parental guilt” into parents who smoke. The way the advertisement is able to do this is through the use of an optical illusion, use of text and the use of negative space.

I don't think of myself as someone "that knows nothing about firearms".. and eventhough that's the audience David Steier stated that he had in mind when he wrote "Guns 101" I still found it to be a good read. It's hard for me to comprehend that someone knowing absolutely nothing about firearms would attempt to get into a technical feild that quite literally revolves around them. I would have to say though, I believe the way "Guns 101" is written could greatly help someone with a limited firearms background get their head wrapped around the culture and core fundamentals of firearms selection, purchase, owndership, and training.

There is an estimated 300 million registered gun owners in the United States. With that many Americans owning guns, its not a surprise nearly 68% of all homicides reported to the FBI involved firearms. It’s a good thing the forensics of firearms has advanced to a point that with just a single round recovered, ballistic experts can tell investigators, what caliber round was fired what type of weapon fired the round, and in some cases the distance at which the round was fired. Without such advancement, more murderers would be walking free.

As the last criminal stops, the detective has to press on his break. The detective got out warily and gibbed at the criminal. The criminal got frantic, so pulled out his gun and pointed toward the detective. The detective didn’t notice that because his negligence, the two criminals in the back of the car had escaped. The detective watched the criminals sprinting to their companion but ignored them. Three criminals didn’t know that there’s something insidious in detective’s car. The detective didn’t give any intimation and started to shoot at the criminals adroitly. Three criminals started to retrogressing while shooting at the detective, but they didn’t know that their car is getting jeopardizing by detective’s car.

“Give me all your money!” Ron yelled as he pointed the gun at the clerk. “Faster, Faster, Faster, come on you lousy son of a gun!” Finally Ron shot the gun and ran as fast as he could as he could. He could hear the cops arriving at the scene of the robbery’

There are many different types of firearms including rifles, pistols, and shotguns and people use them for many different purposes. “Guns have been used to implement both the highest and basest goals of humanity - to put food on the table, to provide personal protection, to enforce or defy the law, to defend or acquire territory” (Supica). An example of this is using firearms for America to obtain their freedom from Britain. The advancements in firearms drastically changed warfare, hunting, and self-protection for the better by becoming more accurate, more convenient, and more powerful.

many movies thaw them as being so sharp that it is almost impossible, in reality they don't need to be because you just need a point for them to stick into the target.

The creation of machine guns will place the United States military at a huge advantage. With the increased firepower, less soldiers will be needed to achieve the same effect that more soldiers would with older guns. Machine guns have the power of multiple rifles, and are capable of firing between 450 and 600 rounds every minute. Unlike the bolt action rifle, machine guns do not need to be continuously reloaded, so they are also able to sustain this rate of fire for a while. This makes it possible to replace up to 30 men with rifles with a team of only a few men with one machine gun. A few machine guns will have the same defensive effect as 100 soldiers holding a trench line. With its great power, killing enemy soldiers and damaging enemy vehicles

This week's article was on “Basics Firearm: Basic Parts of a Gun”. The article was very basic in its context, which covers the basic parts of rifles, shotguns, pistols and revolvers. The article gives a very basic definition of the parts and does give a visual with parts labeled on the pictures. The common parts between all of the firearms are trigger, trigger guard, front sight, safety, muzzle and barrel. From there each of the firearms have different components, which make up the firearm. For example the rifle has a receiver, bolt, rear and front sight, stock, trigger, safety, trigger guard, barrel, and in some cases a magazine. A shotgun is different from a rifle in a few aspects one is the barrel is smooth bored and may consist of an

World War 2 took place in less than ten years but leaped in technological advancement. The drastic change in weaponry from the start of the war to the end was unparalleled to any other time in history. Not only did the weaponry change but also the way we fought or tactics used had to change to combat all the new kinds of threats that these weapons brought to the battlefield. All nations involved in this conflict had to commit all resources and labor to keep up. This was out of necessity. If one’s nation did not provide its soldier with the latest equipment then it would be fatal for his or her life. This gap of technology would render the opposing side not only combat ineffective
