Examine a Centers for Disease Control advertising campaign that promotes the influenza (flu) vaccination. Analyze the campaign to discover the target audience and the advertising techniques used. Then evaluate the effectiveness of these advertising techniques. Write a five-paragraph essay in which you explain how the advertising campaign effectively promotes the influenza vaccination to a range of audiences.

According to CDC (Disease Control and Prevention Center), influenza (flu) is an infectious respiratory disease caused by influenza virus infecting the nose, throat, sometimes the lungs. Influenza A and B viruses are the two main types of human infections. Influenza virus is active throughout the year, but in the US, the influenza season starts from around October and lasts until April with peaks peak in December and February. With this in mind, somewhere in September and October, we need to start thinking about ways to protect our children from the flu. This is particularly true for parents of young children who are at high risk of developing influenza complications. With appropriate precautions and cautious treatment, the disease may be mild.

Explanation:

As stated by The Disease Control and Prevention Center (CDC), influenza (flu) is an infectious respiratory disease caused by influenza virus infecting the nose, throat, sometimes the lungs. There are many different styles to advertise this very touchy subject. The most effective promotes of the influenza vaccine are "The Flu ends with u", "Shots aren't just for kids", and "Spread Popcorn, Not the Flu", due to their different advertising techniques.

To start, the advertisment, "The Flu ends with U", uses the flattery technique. This is a technique that many often use by complimenting the consumer. This entices them to want to participate in the vaccination. This is effective because in this particular ad it makes the person feel like they can be apart of the change to prevent the flu. The audience of this promotion is a general audience, which means it can apply to anyone that views it. Flattery is a common technique used to make the audience feel apart of the ad.

The next ad that i found was effective is the "Shots aren't just for kids". This ad is using univeral appeal as the technique to advertise. This type of advertising technique touches base with the consumers emotions and makes a personal connection through human relationship. This type of technique, to me at least, is the most effective. The audience is adults because it states that " Shots aren't just for kids", meaning adults are able to get these shots as well. 

The last ad im presenting is the "Spread Popcorn, Not the Flu" ad, which uses the association technique. This technique associates a product with a positive image. In this case, its popcorn. This principle aims to make consumers conect the product being advertised to a desirable set of vaules or traits. The popcorn gives off a positive vibe, even though the subject is something much more serious. This technique might not be effective to some, but it also can be extremely effective.  This again is to a general audience. 

The adverting camoaign effectively promotes the influenza vaccine by the different types of techniques being used to catch the consumers eyes. These techniques are flattery, univeral appeal, and association to persuade people into getting the influenza (Flu) vaccine.

Just submitted this essay and got  98

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.
