With the introduction of cancel culture, having a good PR team is more important now than ever. How can having a good PR team protect a company from problematic situations? #301 #UWJ201

@DoraisBurt #uwj201 #301 Differing mediums call for different advertisements. Ads on phones need to be much flashier as ones attention span is much shorter as the audience is quickly scrolling through content. Ads on TV can much much longer as it’s easier to hold the audience’s attention.

@beccaspitalnik #uwj201 #301 By being politically and culturally aware a company can avoid problematic situations. They can hire a PR team to curate a positive image for their brand. However, the media can manipulate how a company is perceived so they will never be in total control.

Applying the persuasion principles to politics, which principle(s) do you think are most effective at encouraging the public to vote for a candidate? #301 #UWJ201

[abby cattapan @abbycattapan]

@alanahowley #uwj201 #301 Scarcity is most effective. People want what they cannot have, is hard to acquire, and what others covet. Advertising something as exclusive urges people to by it.

@ainsleyskomal #UWJ201 #301 Social proof is most commonly used in today’s media. When people see others using a product, they too want to use it in order to fit in and feel a part of a community.

After reading the article, “How Vaccine Apathy - Not Hesitancy - May be Driving Flattened Vaccine Rates”, do you think it is ethical to create a vaccine mandate? Do you think this is something our government can accomplish without violent backlash?#UWJ201 #301

@Peichen_Hou #UWJ201 #301 I only think financial incentives will work for people in tight financial situations. A vaccine mandate, however, has proven effective. It would force people to care about becoming vaccinated as they would need it to maneuver through society.

@kartheiser_owen @jayda_zhu #uwj201 #301 Hi Owen, I agree. I think these advertisements distract us from what we should really be paying attention to, which is the policies they are running on. These advertisements can give a misleading depiction of what the candidate actually cares for.

@BensonAmbria #uwj201 #301 I think that Mark Zuckerberg’s ambitious ideas such as “move fast and break things” played a large role in their rapid success. However, had they’d been more cautious, the issues we face regarding social media today would be much different.

@GavinLuebke28 #uwj201 #301 Although I do not love the idea of social media’s tracking my account and keeping a record of my interests, the algorithm does hold my attention in the app. However, it does make it harder for me to see people with more diverse opinions and interests on my screen.

#uwj201 #301 The results yielded by Time’s article about Google demonstrate how society fetishized women of color while viewing white people, men in particular, in sophisticated, positions of power. How do social media platforms, such as TikTok, further emphasize this?

we’ve been talking a lot about how the way news is covered influences people’s political perspectives. do you think this result is also influencing US social norms? #UWJ201 #301

@brookesholem hi brooke! a lot of people only listen to the news they want to hear. in order to return to objective journalism, people will need to be open to listening to other people’s options. #UWJ201 #301

@elena_mccosh hi elena! i think music is definitely a way for people to communicate. artists often write about their emotions and experiences in order to share them with the world. kendrick lamar is one great example of this. a lot of his work focuses on racism in america #UWJ201 #301
