Find three articles that provide useful background or analytical information about the significance of advertising in our culture. All must be from scholarly journals or national publications
Thats the assignment...I'm goin with the angle of lies and manipulation, mind control, etc...I know there was a certain socio-psychologist who studied the propaganda methods of the nazis and applied them to commercial advertising and media. Does anyone know who that was in particular or could perhaps supply me with some people or events to look for? THanks!
I don't know.
But when I think of advertising I think of branding and what logos, jingles and mottoes or catchphrases do.
Very effective they are.
Everyone knows

Wilhelm Reich "The Mass Psychology of Fascism"
Edit: I guess.
Market research has found that children can recognize a brand logo before they can recognise their own name.
More people now recognise the Golden Arches than they do the Christian Cross. American children are more likely to recognise Ronald McDonald than they are Santa Claus.
In fact, in the USA more people now eat in McDonald's than go to church or synagogue. Surveys have shown that the golden arches are better known than the Christian cross.

The religion of fatness has replaced traditional ones.

Here's one about advertising and prescription drugs from the New England Journal of Medicine: http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/357/7/673?linkType=FULL&journalCode=nejm&resid=357/7/673
Ever since the decision was made about 10 years ago to allow Direct-to-Consumer advertising for Rx drugs, the use of Rx drugs has skyrocketed. I'm talking prescribed use. In my professional opinion, the advertising has caused a shift in the docter-patient relationship. It used to be the patient went in, rattled off symptoms, and THEN the Doctor figured out what the best treatment was. Now, commercials tell you to "Ask your Doctor about..." the specific drugs. So the conversations, more and more are starting from, in my opinion, the wrong end of the equation. A predetermined outcome that you should be taking Drug X, and now we will work it back to fill in the blanks.

Just like the Bible predicted! Praise!
Job 15:25-27 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.

Yeah, I kinda figured it was. He listed his e-mail as donkeyotay2003@yahoo.com.
Maybe he thought we would have forgotten by now.

Meh, too much thread archaelogy. Short and skinny is, he was dating the niece of one of the old board members (Bella, to be exact). She became too ill to leave her bed, and he didn't bother feeding her, but instead ate in front of her to taunt her. Then, when he did finally get around to her, he cooked her some rotten potatoes and laughed about it.
He's scum.

Oh, he showed remorse...once he realized that he was the only one laughing. Then suddenly, it was all a big "misunderstanding".
But I've met the man, and given the choice between believing Bella and her clan and believing him, I know enough to know that he's vermin.
Apparently, the two have reconciled and moved on.
In light of that, I have proposed that if he doens't comment on any of my posts, I will freely ignore him.
We'll see.

No, he has a new wife (who has apparently not fallen ill yet). The whole Bella Clan is still pissed off six ways from Sunday. Me, I just don't like him because of that. It would be like saying "The Jews have forgiven Martin Bormann, so I'm gonna hire him as a babysitter".
BAI is Mr. Bella, no?
Perhaps we should await his opinion.
LMNO
-Is not forgiving; may be willing to ignore, however.

I make no effort to influence anyone else's decisions, or actions. I also may change my mind regarding my own actions, depending on further information.
Yeah, he tried to show up to eb&g a while back...he got chased off with a stick. DS will have severe issues if she sees him on her aunt's site.
I may have to trek over to EB&G, for further advisement.
Even if DS forgave him, I still think he's a prick.
I'm not MAD at him, I just don't like him.
And a Bears fan, to boot.

That pisses me off. He doesn't rate being a Bears fan.
Yeah, I don't really know any of Bella's kin too well but I liked Bella. Hoshi and D3 (Donk's ex?) were both very nice (and easy on the eyes). This, coupled with the fact that letting your woman almost starve to death is a shitty thing to do, I'm probably going to be an intolerable fucker (and I didn't even believe the story at first).
(edited for grammatical reasons)
In addition to that, the "Help me with my homework" question in the OP is not really a sign we should expect shining brilliance from him regardless.

Yeah. Personally he can fucking choke on a dogs dick as far as I'm concerned. The potatoes thing is the tip of a fucking stinky iceberg of fail. He's a miserable excuse for a person, and should be euthinased, and his spawn drowned in a bucket.
And no, he is not in contact with anyone, apart from his one sided telephonic harrasment from him to D3, culminating in 20+ calls a day and a blocking of contact a few months back.
Not still a stalker much then no eh what?
Figured as much.

Yes, that thought occured to me but.... I'm going for more eco-friendly torture devices this year.
Just doing my part yanno?

GREEN Torture? :lulz:
Fine.
Exposure to anthills, tieing over young bamboo shoots, or coating the feet with salt to be licked off by goats.

I googled 'goat tongue' and found this (http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Tickling_-_Torture/id/2061332).
QuoteThe first use of torture with an element of tickling was during the Roman Empire when a method known as "Goat's tongue" was employed as criminal punishment. This involved covering a victim's feet with salt or a sweet substance, and having a goat lick the soles raw resulting first in tickling and later in painful blisters. The pain in this form of torture is related to the sandpapering of the feet rather than the tickling as such.

I like those!
Just remember we should bury the remains in the local compost. Gives your victim a chance to "give back"!
FYI: i'm told a calf will vigorously head-butt a "teat" that gives no milk
