Print Ad : The Sauer M11 A1 Handgun

The advertisement that was chosen for this project covers that of gun issues, especially with the increase of school shootings over the years. Right off the bat with the advertisement come at full force with the message it wants to spread and the change it wants to bring. On the left side there is a young boy holding a Kinder egg; which is banned in the US as a hazardous toy. Whereas on the right there is a small girl who is holding a rifle of sorts. Both children hold a steady and grim gazes as they stare at the viewer; it is meant to be in a way unsettling and putting off because we never want to see children in any sort of harm's way.

by far the biggest picture on the ad and the “#1” is in bold white print. When you look at this ad

People see thousands of ads each year. It may seem like the company who designed and create this ad just put whatever looked best and would draw the viewer's attention but the use of word and images on ads go much deeper. For example this ad was found while shopping for shoes online. This ad shows a persons holding a cigarette, this persons hand is shaped as a gun but what the ad wants to readers attention to go to would be not the hand in the front but the shadow in the back, the shadow is a hand but instead of holding a cigarette, the hand is holding a gun. This shadow is meant to represent the reality of what a cigarette can do for a person's health.

Especially much of the recent events and public opinion on assault rifles. Many agencies eat this up, with one reporter who wrote this comment to what it was like to fire the AR-`5 his response, ‘it’s horrifying, dangerous and very very loud. The recoil bruised my shoulder. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions -- loud like a bomb -- gave me temporary case of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.” Now relating this to the book, this was extremely a liberal approach. The fact is a comment like this to a person who is not exposed to firearms, that may only work a office job with little to no threat everyday for the rest of their lives may read this and react emotionally. However, this is very much not so, the extremes this journalist used was so strong that it was rather sickening how he threw out PTSD. A firearm of that caliber is nothing much, I have had the opportunity to shoot the military grade version of the AR-15 and nothing met his description other than loud, but all guns are loud. Children shoot this gun and are proficient at this firearm. A grown man, should not cower at a firearm in a controlled

The ad itself appears to be in a military instructional setting. The viewer’s eye is immediately drawn to the central focus of the document; a strong, physically fit African American woman in a combat stance, facilitating the techniques of martial arts.

"Battleground America," written by Jill Lepore, provides a strong history of guns and the way they have changed in the eyes of the American through the years. She proves her point with strong evidence throughout her article, sprinkling it with opinion and argument that is strongly supported. She presents her argument to convince her audience that the open availability of guns allows citizens to undeservingly purchase them by displaying the credibility in her sources, using negative connotations in her speech, and the strength and objectivity only a strong logos appeal can provide.

Gun rights activists really like talking up a storm when it comes to their right to bear arms, but they always tend to get quiet when it comes to saying what type of firearm is needed to protect their homes. They also tend to be very secretive when it comes to their personal arsenal, a big part of their secrets might be how unappealing their pass time of guns are for other people, and it can make the gun owner dig into deep conversations about what type of guns they prefer to buy (Gun Rights Advocates and the Weapons They Love p. 1).

To comprehend that, it's essential to get a handle on not only the staggering measurements about weapon proprietorship and firearm savagery in the United States, however America's extremely one of a kind association with weapons — not at all like that of some other created nation — and how it plays out in our legislative issues to guarantee, apparently despite seemingly insurmountable opposition, that our way of life and laws keep on driving the normal firearm viciousness that imprints American life.

Ebonics, which stands for Ebony + Phonics is a new term that Linguistics use to describe Black Dialect or Black English or many of the other names that it has been given for more than 350 years. Ebonics is a "language" that is a combination of "proper English" and a combination of African languages. This combination pattern was formed on how certain words are pronounced such as, this and that, would be pronounced dis and dat in Ebonics. In most Ebonics words with the "Th." sound has an "D" sound. These are just some of the many patterns that were created when Africans were forced to learn the English language. History states that around 1619, during the slave trade, ships collected slaves not just from one nation but

Multiple authors such as Noah C. Rothman, James Fallows, and Glenn Greenwald demonstrate that a reoccurring problem in news media coverage is the failure to relay all of the information about an event to audience members who did not witness it themselves. However, The ultimate fighting championship’s (UFC) 193rd event did not seem to face these difficulties. While every aspect of life has its downsides, many major news corporations covering this event presented a very fair story showing both fighter’s sides of the event. Although some might think this fight was a very minuscule event, it was far from this bringing a record breaking night that drew more viewers than any other mixed martial arts fight in history. This iconic event clearly calls

Attention Getter: “The battle over guns has proven to be one of the most dangerous in America’s culture wars- and with the murder of 58 people in Las Vegas Sunday night, the debate over how to regulate them has begun again. The argument over gun control isn’t merely about safety. It’s about identity. The gun has transcended its function as a weapon to become a powerful cultural marker. It can signal what kind of person you are, and often to which tribe you belong”. – amp.usatoday.com

An AR-15 is semi automatic, high capacity firearm with a muzzle velocity of over three thousand feet per second. The rifle will fire as fast as one can pull the trigger. This commando style weapon, with high capacity magazines, in the hands of a mentally or emotionally unstable individual, is a recipe for disaster that could cause great harm and death to the innocent. Although Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms, there need to be precautions in place to insure the safety of the people.

The death penalty in America has been declining: despite the diminished use, flaws are more apparent than ever. Some of these are racial bias and the execution of innocent people. With a topic like capital punishment the information available can be overwhelming, with as much information that is out there. The words capital punishment and death penalty often have strong emotional opinions, due to being a controversial topic that so many people have different views on.
