Political environment

It has been noticed that in the recent years the Shot Wood School District has had very few success at the polls. It has lost by a small margin more than once in past few years even though the voters and the tax payers were asked to cast their votes. It is crucial for the school to get the support in the upcoming elections because if they lose this fundraising the school will have to not only reduce their budgets by 22% but also decrease the staff by 1.5%. This loss will also reduce the ability of the school to buy new materials and force them to cut-back on the finances allocated for the non-academic programs (O'Day, 2003).

The Village of Shot Wood along with the surrounding townships of ed, White and two precincts of Blue Township are included in the Shot Wood School District. As,…… [Read More]

Campaign Finance Reform

Campaign Finance Reform

ith our national election cycle reaching its quadrennial fervor, filled with frenzied campaigning and feverish advertising blitzes, American citizens are once again charged with the enormous task of deciding upon their next leadership class. hat began with our forefather's modest experiment in democratic governance, built upon a foundation of informed citizenry selecting candidates who best represented shared values on the relevant issues of the day, has since become slowly distorted by the pernicious influence of corporatized campaign funding. The American political apparatus has traditionally been the arena of the affluent, because "like almost every pursuit in this free-enterprise country, political campaigning is a business & #8230; and, as in many businesses, success often goes not to the entrepreneur who brings a product to market first but to the one who exploits it best" (McManus, 2010). hile candidates on the local, state and federal level have always been…… [Read More]

Ongoing Issues in Campaign Finance eform: Political Freedom and ecent Supreme Court ulings

The issue of campaign finance reform comes and goes as a focal point of national attention, and though recent economic events have eclipsed attention to this issue in the past two years, recent changes ought to be carefully noted by the voting public. Over the latter half of the twentieth century, various pieces of legislation have been passed that limit the amount of funds that can be spent endorsing political candidates and have also regulated the release of politically potent media of certain types during election periods. ecent Supreme Court cases, however, have drastically changed the rules of campaign finance.

Current Policy

The McCain-Feingold Bill was finally signed into law in 2002 after languishing in the Senate for years due to epublican filibustering, limiting the funds that candidates could receive and making issue advertising illegal…… [Read More]

Campaign strategy plan WI CD8

Campaign 2012

We chose to defeat incumbent Reid Ribble (R-Wis.) in Wisconsin's 8th .S. House District for several reasons. This has been Ribble's first term in Congress; Wisconsin was a swing state in the last presidential election, and we believe we have a credible candidate given the voter demographics. Ribble himself defeated incumbent Steve Kagen by a 10% margin in 2010, which mirrored the prior two presidential elections, when Wisconsin in general voted 55% for Bush in 2004 but then gave Obama 54% in 2008 (Proximity 2011). We hope to repeat that in District 8 ("CD 8"), if we can turn Ribble's 55% lead over Kagen around. A quick lay-of-the-land scan suggests that given a fractured GOP and vocal discontent with Obama, the time will be right for a strong independent to take WI CD8 in 2012. While Ribble enjoys clear strategic advantages as an…… [Read More]

Campaign finance spending reform

For many years, campaign finance reform was an important 'talking point' amongst populist Democratic and epublican senators alike, cumulating in the McCain-Feingold Act. The Act placed spending limits upon 'soft money' (money not directly given to a candidate or party) as well as banned corporations from financing advertisements designed to influence voting about particular issues before an election (Gitell 2003). The Act was intended to reduce the influence of PACs (political action committees) upon politics by limiting their scope in terms of the amount of contributions they could accept and how they disseminated information. However, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on Citizen's United effectively nullified the most significant portions of the Act, declaring them unconstitutional limits upon free speech.

In the landmark decision, "the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that corporations and unions have the same political speech rights as individuals under…… [Read More]

Campaign for the U S Presidency When Barack

Campaign for the U.S. Presidency

hen Barack Obama was elected to the presidency in 2008, it was a remarkable historical event; never before had an African-American achieved the highest office in the United States. And Obama was facing a daunting task; he was expected to bring the country out of the severe recession, create new jobs, to help the middle class regain its footing, stimulate the economy, and shore up the housing crisis as well. He promised to do these things -- and to kill bin Laden no matter where he was hiding -- and in terms of several of these promises, he succeeded. But in the dynamics of a presidential election -- especially in 2012, when corporations and wealthy individuals with personal agendas can pour millions into campaigns with no accountability as to the source (think the Citizens United decision in the Supreme Court) -- wild accusations and vicious…… [Read More]

Campaigns of Grant and Wilson

However, he advocated a policy of conservative, limited government and opposed the policies of the epublican's view of punishing the South during econstruction. Seymour was quite competitive in his run against Grant with the popular vote, but was soundly defeated by an electoral vote of 214 (Grant) to 80 (Waugh, 2009).

Grant had a particularly easy campaign, running on his war record, a desire to repair the Union, and a campaign slogan of "Let us have peace" He had never held elected office, and was the youngest, at 46, to assume the Presidency. Grant was not a political genius, and left most of the details of econstruction to suggestions from the epublican Party. He was not as conservative as many of his colleagues, however, and supported amnesty y for former Confederates, favorite a limited number of troops stationed in the South, and promised that the Union would be whole again…… [Read More]

Campaign Advertisements in the 2008

Obama also repeatedly charged that McCain would simply continue the "failed" economic policies of President ush. "Senator Obama, I am not President ush," said an annoyed McCain during one debate (Lightman, 2000). "If you wanted to run against President ush, you should have run four years ago."

One hundred percent of your ads, John... 100% of them have been negative," he said (Lightman, 200*0.

That's not true," McCain replied. "A hundred... It absolutely is true," Obama insisted.

Perhaps this is because all is fair in politics. Analysts marveled at the brilliance of the Obama presidential campaign, heralding the level of grass-roots mobilization involved, his record- breaking fund-raising, and his effective advertising campaigns, which some might have said were inappropriate but most saw as simply politics (Graham, 2008).

arack Obama and John McCain voiced very different opinions during the 2008 Presidential campaign over taxes, the Iraq War, and how to fix…… [Read More]

House Race Choices: MS-1: Incumbent Travis Childers (D) and Greg Davis (R)

The Democrats in Mississippi recently secured a new conservative member when Travis Childers won a special House election in a district that was long held by Republicans (Lengell and Lambro). According to Rep. Gene Taylor of Mississippi, both Democrats have socially conservative positions on such issues as gun rights and abortion, and campaigned as fiscal conservatives, prompting a member of the conservative Democratic Blue Dog Caucus, to call those efforts a mistake. "Travis Childers did a great job of reminding the voters that this [race] was about who's going to represent the needs of northern Mississippi in ashington, D.C., and not the other way around," Mr. Taylor said. "This wasn't a national race. It was a local race." (quoted in Lengell and Lambro at A01).

Childers is opposed by Greg Davis, the former mayor of Southhaven. According to…… [Read More]

Campaign War With the Campaign Practices That

Campaign War

With the campaign practices that are seen today, the average voter is not really getting enough good information about which candidate is the most qualified or the best person for the job. Most of the campaign promises that are being offered by the candidates are not promises that they are going to keep. Additionally, some of the candidates actually do lie about things that have happened in the past or things they have said in the past - and then they make excuses when they are "caught." That is something that almost all people do, because everyone exaggerates to an extent. But when candidates make serious exaggerations it can be difficult for the voters to put any trust in the other things that candidate says. That can be true even if the exaggeration was about something totally unrelated and even if the candidate did not lie or exaggerate…… [Read More]

Campaigns and Super PACs

.....political ads changed over the last 60 years? Please use examples from the 1960's, 1980's and 2000's to support your answer.

In the beginning when TV was first used in the United States by the public, political ads were scarce. In the 1940's and even through into the 1960's presidential candidates reached out to meet voters, shaking hands and holding town-hall debates. (Suggett) It was a commitment to vie for presidency. However, as time passed and the mid 1960's brought some changes, political candidates aimed to ramp things up.

There was a need to address the masses in a more convenient form and so Lyndon B. Johnson aired the "Daisy Girl" commercial, effectively becoming the most controversial political ad of the time, and one of the most memorable. (Fowler, et al.) From there, change came to political ads in the form of negative ads such as the 1980 presidential campaign…… [Read More]

Campaign Finance Reform

voters in the United States feel campaign finance reform is a necessity. They see candidates for elected offices being curried by special interest groups. Voters fear, with some justification, that money may corrupt a candidate who is elected using special interest money to finance the campaign, and not keep the voters' needs foremost. Politicians have acknowledged that they have until recently spent an inordinate amount of time phoning businesses, organizations such as labor groups, and individuals for donations. It seems obvious that people donate to the candidates they feel will help their personal political interests most strongly. Very recently it became known by the general public that Enron, a company which went bankrupt after participating in questionable energy deals that cost many taxpayers a great deal of money, donated to a number of political campaigns. Many voters suspected that they received special favors in return for that money.

American Anti-Corruption Act: The Tipping Point for American Citizens

The American Anti-Corruption Act:

A tipping point for American citizens

In the wake of increasing concerns about the undue influence of money and special interest groups in American politics, the anti-corruption advocacy group epresent.Us created a grassroots campaign in support of a law called the American Anti-Corruption Act. The Act is "a nine-point plan to crack down on lobbyists, strengthen the flimsy law intended to prevent super-PACs from coordinating with campaigns, and put a stop to undisclosed donations funneled through dark-money nonprofits" (Aronsen 2013). It should be noted that ironically, "epresent.Us is a project of United epublic, a campaign finance reform group that, like many of the outside spending organizations it takes aim at, is a 501(c)(4)" although it is bipartisan in its composition (Aronsen 2013). Its bipartisan membership includes "former Federal Elections Commission chair (and Stephen Colbert's 'personal lawyer') Trevor…… [Read More]

Trends in Campaign Finance and Its Effect on Outcomes of Elections

Campaign Finance and its effect on Outcomes of Elections

In this paper, we are examining the underlying trends in campaign finance. To do this we will look at four different gubernatorial campaigns. Once this takes place, is when we will be able to see what patterns are developing in how campaigns are financed.

Over the last several decades, the issue of campaign finance and its outcome on elections has been increasingly brought to the forefront. Part of the reason for this, is because the relationship between politics and special interests will come together during an election. As political candidates, are forced to run for office through spending massive amounts of money. While having to accept funds; from a number of special interest groups that have active memberships throughout the country. This has led to a host of scandals with names such as Watergate, illustrating how this relationship between political and…… [Read More]

Anti-Drug Campaign for Teens the Campaign at

Anti-Drug Campaign for Teens

The Campaign

At present, marijuana is the most used drug and most frequently available in United States of America. The American youth takes serious dosages of marijuana. At least 60% of the adult population in United States of America was prone to marijuana in 2002. The statistics were prepared in the supervision of The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. The website address is www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov .

Social marketing campaigns as well as social awareness programs are imperative to raise and propagate awareness pertaining to excessive drug abuse in United States of America. But in this case, the social campaigners as well as social marketers are armed with effective programs and messages, but remain hesitant to reach the teen audience. It's a tad bit complicated. Wordsen and Slater (2004) concluded that creating targeted ads regarding marijuana and its abuse through PSA's tended to be less…… [Read More]

Child Exploitation on the Internet Public Awareness Campaign

Public Awareness Campaign: Child Exploitation on the Internet

Growing up in an era where the internet and video games take up more than 25% of a child's time made me realize just how integral technology has become to children's lives, and how vital it is that we increase our awareness on the dangers and benefits of technological advancement. Through this proposal, I intend to educate people, as well as myself, on how to handle the security risks that children are exposed to, online.

eports about children being abused and brutalized, either on the internet, or in the real world, have become an integral part of the news today. Not a day goes by without such kinds of reports; and what is even worse is that hundreds of cases remain unreported, and the culprits are left scot free, with immense avenues to identify and devour more unsuspecting children (Byron, 2008). Such…… [Read More]

Ethics of Campaign Finance Marxist

While this does not seem ethically questionable on the surface, it is certainly questionable when one considers that the only way for a capitalist to keep being a capitalist is to keep acquiring capital, and the only way to acquire capital is to exploit labor for profit. This means that the bourgeoisie must oppress the proletariat in order to continue to exist, and that the proletariat must struggle to survive.

Some may say that this is not an ethical problem -- merely the brutal nature of the world. Even if this were so, it becomes an ethical problem when considered politically, and, as Marx and Engel assert, "every class struggle is a political struggle" (p. 46). In a country that binds itself morally to the concept of inalienable political rights, the decision of the highest court in the land to grant enormous political "voice" to entities whose necessary economic purpose…… [Read More]

Anti-Drug Marketing Campaign What Do

That is evidenced by the fact that prevention messages produced affirmative responses to questions about curtailment and curtailment messages produced affirmative responses to questions about prevention.

(4) Perception of realism is likely a critical element of any anti-drug messaging campaign expected to appeal to a teenage audience.

Exactly what do you recommend for the de-marketing communications campaign?

There would seem to be little basis to presume that either a prevention strategy or a curtailment strategy would be more effective than the other. It is most likely that both approaches would be advisable because teenagers who already use drugs are much less likely to respond as hoped to the curtailment messages whereas teenagers who do not already use drugs would be more likely to respond as hoped to the prevention messages. More specifically, teenagers who already use drugs are beyond the point where a prevention messaging strategy would be productive.

Obama's site tells the typical political story. On the front page, there are two ads attacking John McCain and his policies. Perhaps the most disturbing fact about Obama's site is the way in which "issues" are listed. hile one can understand while civil rights would be popular for an African-American, it should not be at the top of the issues list when most of America is reeling from economic shock. The economy is fourth on this issues list and the answer to our economic crisis is to give Americans rebates, which means higher taxes for someone down the road. Any type of government assistance means raising taxes because, as we all know, the government is broke. A more productive website and plan would be to cut taxes and…… [Read More]

PR Campaign Boone Pickens Energy

There have not been specific funding promises from the candidates for specific aspects of the Pickens Plan, either.

The final verdict on the Pickens Plan campaign will not be known for months, if not years. The new president will not take office until January, and will require time to formulate a cohesive strategy. In terms of the action plan, the strategy to mobilize the grassroots in order to put pressure on the government has not succeeded thus far. The grassroots will give the new president his mandate, and the supporters of the Pickens Plan will ultimately take a back seat to that.

In terms of action, the most effective part of this public relations campaign has been the direct contact between Pickens and the candidates. This may or may not have occurred without the grassroots, but it is reasonable to expect that it would have occurred due to Mr. Pickens'…… [Read More]

The content language adopted for white collar workers will be a simple, plain one as the goal is for the message to be understood best and used by the employees in their interaction with the customers. In global communication campaigns, the language will be the same for white and blue collar workers and therefore a simple and plain one for everyone. In specific communications, the language can increase in complexity if the auditorium that needs to receive the message had a higher education level.

The content will take under consideration the cultural differences between the corporate headquarters country (e.g. UK) and the local offices (e.g. Korea) and adapt global campaigns to the local requirements. Additionally, the content will be designed to match company objectives and how these objectives can be understood by personnel.

Mass Media and Congressional Campaigns in US

Mass Media and Congressional Campaigns in U..

This is a study on the mass media principles and how they are used in congressional campaigns in the U.. It has 12 sources.

In view of the strong economic-based relationship that exists between the congressional elections and the mass media, more rigid laws need to be established in addition to a screening process for each candidate through which they all have to pass in order to represent the American people.

The media plays an important role in contemporary political activity, as it is a key communicator. This communication is supposed to serve the needs of the people as a whole and bring information to them that would serve their interests. However, such media may be the tool of politicians, as they may manipulate certain important information about themselves in order to gain popularity. Ideally, it is the media that is used to…… [Read More]

Direct Marketing Campaign

The direct marketing portion of the campaign will provide personalized communications to customers. It will include direct sales, catalogs, email list purchases, direct mail, and telemarketing.

This will allow customers to have tangible interactions with the product and also associate the brand with a high level of customer service. It also provides an opportunity for customers to ask questions directly and receive a more intimate consultation in product selection.

Catalogs will be used to provide a more "portable" and adequate overview of all product offerings.

Part 1 Developing a Health Advocacy Campaign

Health advocacy programs are mostly tailored to specific groups of people that are in need of special attention.

The importance and simplicity of water and its role within our health and well being represents an approach of basic health advocacy and may target many in need of such information. Health advocates must look out for their patients and subscribe to the most important issues of the day that may have a deep and profound impact on healing the individual and the healing processes that can evolve in and throughout the community.

The purpose of this health advocacy development plan is to argue that the issue of hydration, for all people, is one of the most significant…… [Read More]

Morales Gramm Campaign the 1996 Senatorial

With the proportion of Hispanic voters that were turning out for Morales, even simply increasing overall Hispanic turn out, though providing Gramm with additional votes, too, would have provided Morales with approximately twenty-percent more voters than Gramm in many counties where Hispanics constituted eighty-percent and more of the population. Given how close the statewide race was, the difference of even a few of the more populous counties could have been all that was needed to change the outcome of the campaign. Instead, as Morales struggled with a budget about a tenth the size of Gramm's, communication efforts simply were not extensive enough to produce the kind of results that the Morales campaign needed. An awareness of the discrepancy in spending between the two campaigns, which must certainly have been available at the time, should have revealed the closeness of the race to Democratic leadership.

Teen Drinking Media Campaign a

One of those alarming physical changes is that the younger a person is when they begin drinking, even at low levels the more likely they are to become alcoholics. This change even overrides a known genetic predisposition for alcoholism. (Butler, July 4, 2006) Time forward ads regarding adult failure could be developed at a later time but again such images and concerns do not seem to sway teens. Funding for such a campaign would likely come from national and local foundations that stress clean living, and possibly from litigation funds that have been secured for healthier youth programs.

Alcohol use may begin simply as an exciting experiment, or as a way for a teen to feel a part of his or her peer group, lowering the feeling of awkwardness that often comes with the territory. Yet teen drinking can become a social disaster, that brings on extreme grief and loss.…… [Read More]

Advertising Campaign Overview of Dyson products

Overview of the product, its brand category, and the niche that it is intended to fill

Headquartered in the UK, technology firm, Dyson, designs and makes vacuum cleaners, heaters, hand dryers, and bladeless fans. It has recently ventured into the hairdryer product category. The company’s most popular offering is its range of ‘bag- less’ vacuum cleaners. According to its trademark, Dyson vacuum cleaners never lose suction. Established in the year 1978 by inventor James Dyson, the inspiration for this corporation came to the entrepreneur when he pulled his vacuum cleaner apart and discovered that the cleaner’s bag was dust- clogged, resulting in the cleaner losing suction. Dyson used his newly- developed cyclone, designed for the purpose of separating air and paint through centrifugal force within a tower fan, and tried to separate dust present within the air by utilizing his cyclone within a vacuum cleaner. Following 5, 127 prototype tries,…… [Read More]

All employees should be allowed to join labor unions. The protection of the rights of employees in joining unions is one factor that leads to better establishment of a company. The company has to respect and acknowledge the responsibilities of unions in representing the interests of the employees.

The advantages of joining a union are that, it gives the employees the mandate to act together as a team, so as to improve on the working conditions at their respective places of work.

Marketing Strategy and Information Campaign for Flu Shots

Addressing myths targeting the young is particularly important to stress online, given that is where anti-vaccine myths are often disseminated. The fact that the flu shot has minimal risks should also be addressed, to counteract the urban myths about its dangers. Online, links to useful 'myth-busting' sites about the flu and the spread of the flu can be provided.

Persuasive techniques

Various types of persuasive motivations should be emphasized, across all the types of media used in the campaign. Older individuals may be motivated to get vaccinated because of a fear for their more fragile health -- but also because they do not want to put their grandchildren at risk. Older people may also be motivated by a sense of civic purpose, so as not to spread the disease. So might healthcare workers and teachers, both of whom are in contact with high-risk members of the public on a frequent…… [Read More]

E-Mail Campaigns in Order to Manage a

E-Mail Campaigns

In order to manage a successful e-mail campaign, a Webmaster's efforts must be organized, directed, and efficient. Accordingly, e-mail service providers such as Constant Contact, MailChimp, and Topica provide various tools that help Webmasters reach out to a large number of current and potential customers in an organized and directed fashion. For example, Constant Contact offers its customers a number of features for their e-mail campaigns, including, but not limited to, "anti-spam tests" to ensure its customer's e-mail does not get automatically sent to a subscriber's "junk mail" folder, and "Autoresponder" features, which allows the customer to automatically send "Welcome" or "Thank You" e-mails to its subscribers ("Constant Contact," n.d.). Such features allow the Webmaster to focus on other marketing initiatives without having to worry about maintaining the current customer base.

More importantly, however, is the fact that e-mail servers such as Constant Contact and others have programs…… [Read More]

Importance of Social Media Marketing

Social Media Marketing is now considered as one of the most important function of any business. Large companies and programs focus on improving their function of marketing on social sites and blogs like Face book, Twitter, Pinterest and so on. Since, there are examples of many big and small businesses that made huge benefits via social media marketing. Coca-Cola has about 35,000,000 fans and this number increases by 9,000 on average a day. Disney and Starbucks have also made great progress but they still need to make efforts to reach up to the level of Coca-Cola.

When developing a social media marketing strategy, a company first has to choose suitable sites for the business since all of the social sites do not work out. Therefore, the marketing team has to make an analysis and then devise a suitable plan. Once the sites…… [Read More]

Institution's Plan for Capital Campaign

Capital Campaign in Higher Education

A capital campaign is defined as a targeted fundraising effort that normally takes place over a defined or set out period of time (Lysakowski, 2013). This is normally an intense effort on the part of the higher education institution to raise significant money for a given purpose and within the specified timeframe. Before a capital campaign can begin the purpose for the funds should be clearly outlined and the targets of the campaign determined. This will ensure that everyone is on board and they understand the role they have to play. Capital campaigns are normally initiated to fund extraordinary expenditures that an institution is not able to fund under normal circumstances. These might include the purchase of new equipment, renovating a building, building a new educational block, or expanding an existing facility. There should be an endowment portion added to the capital campaign goal. Institutions…… [Read More]

Role of the Media in Election Campaigns

Superiority of the anadian Government over that of the United States Regarding Access to the Media by Political Parties

The media, with its diverse modes of mass communication, plays a pivotal role in electoral campaigns both in anada and the United States. andidates for political office thoroughly understand the infinite potential in utilizing the media for their campaign platforms. With just one brief thirty-second advertisement during a commercial break either on the radio or on television, a candidate instantaneously speaks to millions of attentive listeners and/or viewers. By launching a national communications campaign, a political nominee essentially creates the most efficient and mesmerizing tool in his electoral arsenal.

Though the media has admittedly proven to be an invaluable tool in bridging the gap between a candidate and his constituency, there are a myriad of ethical issues that constrict a candidate from utilizing this resource to it's fullest potential. The main…… [Read More]

Conclusion

The marketing campaign's objective is to significantly increase awareness throughout the target market and induce trial of the service so customers can qualify to compete for a year of free videos. The promotion of the campaign can be viral, using the best contributions to the context to promote it. In addition, the best entries every month will be shown on regional TV and over the Internet on the edbox website, Facebook and promoted through Twitter feeds. This marketing campaign gets away from using social media to shout at prospects or customers and supports a best practice many practitioners support, which is enabling a two-way conversation with members of a target market or audience (Jackson, 56). Measurement is in how many videos are made, their quality, originality and creativity and how many new customers sign up during the promotion period.

Issues in Union Organization Campaigns

Employers' ole During Union Organization Campaigns

Union organizing has become a major issue in today's working environment because of increased efforts by workers to promote suitable conditions in the workplace and obtain compensation that suits their contributions to the organization. Even though the number of unionized employees or membership of labor unions has declined significantly in the past few years, unionization is still an important component of today's labor force. As employees continue to join labor unions to advocate for their welfare in the workplace, the role of employers during union organization campaigns has been a slightly controversial issue. The controversy relating to this issue is attributable to the tendency by company management to attempt undertaking measures that defeat the union during union organization campaigns. However, the National Labor elations Act defines the role employers should play during union organization campaigns. This paper examines whether employers should sack their employees…… [Read More]

Factors To Be Considered

The effective and efficient campaign is established from clear messages that have a clear statement of the message, the desired solutions (as found in the campaign goal) and the possible action plan that can be taken to reach the goal of the campaign. The message becomes effective when it captures the attention of the audience. The clarity of the message comes with the lettering, the size of the object bearing the message, the coloring of the message, the creativity within the message, and the overall location of the message object (Freeman & Lu, 2009). The audience will be able to capture the interests of the health campaign message if it has been written in the language easily understood, with the use of the simplest…… [Read More]

About 20.5% of men smoke cigarettes and 15.8% of women smoke cigarettes (Liss, 2013).

the information environment -- mass media and counter-advertising. There is no doubt that media campaigns have a positive impact when it comes to anti-smoking campaigns. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the first year of the federal government's national advertising campaign called "Tips from Former Smokers" "exceeded expectations; an estimated 1.6 million cigarette smokers attempted to stop smoking. Of those, about 100,000 actually succeeded in quitting, and that information came from a study published by the medical journal, The Lancet. Moreover, the campaign run by the CDC reportedly "inspired millions of nonsmokers to encourage…… [Read More]

A Proposed Health Campaign for AIDS in Thailand

Health Campaigns in Thailand

Today, Thailand is a Southeast Asia nation of 68 million people, most of whom are Buddhists (93.6%) who enjoy a strong free market economy, a modern infrastructure and an enviable average life expectancy of 74.5 years (Thailand, 2016). Nevertheless, Thailand is also ranked 15th in the world the prevalence of AIDS, and there were 18,400 AIDS-related deaths in 2014 (Thailand, 2016). Although this rate is a significant decrease from the 55,000 AIDS-related deaths experienced in 2001, Thailand still faces a serious AIDS problem that defies easy solutions given the country's high levels of sex workers and human trafficking (Kobutani & Engstrom, 2009). To help address this serious public health issue, this paper proposes a slogan and associated health message for use in the development of an AIDS health campaign in Thailand together with supporting rationale and an explanation concerning the factors and considerations that most influenced…… [Read More]

Northern Expedition a Military Campaign

By the time Chiang's army reached Changsha in early August, it had been bolstered by defecting troops of Guizhou warlords and it overran the tricities of Wuhan after which the nationalists shifted the seat of its government from Canton to the Wuchan cities. The KMT forces, however, faced much stiffer resistance from the warlords of Jiangxi but the area too was subdued by mid-November albeit after heavy fighting and at a cost of 15,000 KMT casualties (Ibid. p. 330). The NA offensive up the east coast also went well and by mid-December, 1926, its troops had entered the Fujian capital of Fuzhou. Nationalist armies captured the industrial cities of Shanghai and Nanjing in March of 1927. By then, the deep-seated rivalry within the Communist and conservative forces within KMT had erupted and the General Labor Union in Shanghai, Influenced by Conservative Nationalist leaders and Chinese business leaders in Shanghai, Chiang,…… [Read More]

Development of an Health Advocacy Campaign

Developing a Health Advocacy Campaign
Introduction
Health advocacy takes into account direct service to a person or household as a whole in addition to activities that facilitate the promotion of health and accessibility to health care amongst communities and the greater general public. Joining together science, ethics and politics, advocacy is self-instigated, evidence-based, deliberate action that health professionals can assume and undertake to aid in the transformation of systems and improve the environments and policies that fashion their patients’ behaviours and choices, and at the end of the day their health. It helps in guaranteeing access to care, directing the system, mobilization of resources, addressing health disparities, influencing health policy and generating system change (Hubinette et al., 2017). Provision 7 of the ANA Code of Ethics states that nurses, in all of their medical roles and settings, bring about the advancement of the profession. This is through research, scholarly analysis,…… [Read More]

Understanding Trumps Way of Campaigning

Presidential Election

CUENT COVEAGE OF THE 2016 PESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Donald Trump is flying high in the 2016 presidential election campaigns. Besides crushing his epublican opponents in national polls, Trump's critics have thrown in the towel (McCutcheon & Mark, 2016). Having underrated his candidature and accused of a racist and sexist huckster, Trump is now receiving the ultimate compliment and being taken seriously. This essay attempts to discuss the mystery of Donald Tramp's appeal. His opponents have to deal with his demeanor, his disdain for intellectual and party elites, as well as his talent for drawing media coverage. How is Trump achieving all these successes? Whichever the case, Trump's current position and his ultimate fate warrant a theoretical explanation. George Lakoff's linguistic theory is used to understand Trump's success. In this sense, the essay will focus on three major linguistic aspects of how Trump wants us to see him: insulting, big…… [Read More]

Evolution and Development of Combat Air Support

The Origins of Military Aviation:

World War I introduced the horrors of mechanized warfare with its unprecedented potential for human destruction. Four years of war decimated the populations of the European powers, accounting for as many as 10 million combatant deaths and about an equal number of civilian casualties. England and Germany both lost at least sixteen percent of their adult male populations to the war effort and left such a devastating emotional effect on those who survived the war that historians have often referred to them as "the lost generation (1).

Aviation was only eleven years old when war broke out in 1914, but the obvious military potential of aircraft inspired a tremendous acceleration in aviation technology during the next four years. Initially, the only practical use for the flimsy, underpowered balsa wood and fabric biplanes was aerial reconnaissance, which had previously…… [Read More]

VapeUSA Marketing Campaign through eCommerce

The role of eCommerce in the success of Vapeusa, an eCommerce business that is B2B and B2C -- using a website to sell vaporizer products and accessories to consumers looking for an alternative way to smoke. The company uses Symantec safety and security for its sales and shows that all purchases and shipments are guaranteed by Norton Guarantee -- which is meant to give consumers peace of mind about doing business with this website. This is a way of separating itself from the other players in the field and of looking more professional and credible. It shows that it has the backing of a reputable company -- so this is one way it is using eCommerce to build its marketing. Another way is that the company uses big data on consumers to gather personal information about users' history on the Internet, what they like, how they shop, where they live,…… [Read More]

Honey Maids This is Wholesome Campaign

Honey Maid graham crackers are a childhood staple. However, the brand has been growing its consumer base by using an unusual approach. Its “This is Wholesome” campaign depicts a variety of nontraditional families enjoying its products in the form of s’mores, in milk, and with honey. The families include same-sex couples, a punk rock family with tattoos, an East Asian family, and others. The message conveys an expanded definition of the traditional American family and is clearly marketed to people who either view themselves as being a part of such families (either because of friends or relatives) or as strong supporters of expanding the definition of family.

The advertisement’s images, however, other than the fact that nontraditional families are used, are fairly heartwarming and gentle. They include children playing drums with their parents and a baby sucking on a bottle as well as the children making food with their parents.…… [Read More]

Marketing Campaign for Online Business

Ideally, the promotional campaign would involve reputable websites to add to the credibility of the university, such as business magazines and journals, or job recruitment websites with a good reputation, as some of the students may be looking at such sites, in search of a more rewarding career.

Pricing and how courses are priced

Because the campus is virtual and not brick and mortar, it would demand less financial overhead than a regular university, but it should not be so inexpensive that good teachers could not be recruited and salaried at a competitive rate. Furthermore, too low a price could cause prospective students to view the university as potentially illegitimate.

Effectiveness

Online professors could grade essay exams, and standardized tests, especially for the introductory courses, would provide a point of comparison between different sections of the required sequence of classes for the degree. These statistics could be monitored, to ensure…… [Read More]

FEC Case Campaign Finance Reform

' Ultimately, while this makes a compelling argument, it seems almost aggressively to skirt the issue of campaign finance reform as a basic inspiration for the restrictions struck down here within. This is a resolution that should be seen as somewhat troubling apart from questions of free speech, at least from the perspective that there is some genuine value to limiting the impact which corporations can have on an election.

Such is to say that the decision rendered by the Supreme Court avoids an opportunity to judge the case of Citizens United v. FEC on the narrow argument presented by the plaintiff. Instead, the Supreme Court appears to have taken the liberty through its broad and far-reaching decision to attempt to discredit and undermine the McCain-Feingold Bill on the whole. The turn of its attention to issues of free speech and the entitlements in this regard for corporations suggests that…… [Read More]

Public elations Campaign Plan for Huntington County

The mission of the Emergency Management Agency for Huntington County is to provide an integrated and comprehensive emergency management system that would coordinate community resources in order to protect lives, the environment, property, preparedness, recovery and response from all natural and man-made hazards that impact the county (Yates & Paquette, 2011). The county has implemented a CodeED emergency Notification System that it uses to communicate any emergencies to the registered members of the county. The system enables the county to telephone all targeted areas of the county, and it can dial over 50,000 number in an hour (Wentz et al., 2014). The main weaknesses of the system is that it only dials three times, and if a response is not received, it will not dial again. However, the system is smart enough to leave a voice message. The main threats to the system…… [Read More]

Neutralizing the Valley

The Valley Campaigns of 1864 were operations and battles during the American Civil War, which occurred in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia from May to October 1864 (Wikipedia 2005). The opposing forces in these battles were the Union and the Confederates. The Union was led by then Lt General Ulysses S. Grant, Commander George G. Meade, and enjamin utler, while the Confederate was led by Robert Lee and his Lt General Jubal Early. The outcome of the campaigns shows that appropriate tactics and quality leadership determined victory in the particular terrain and physical conditions. Grant established a strategy that focused at the heart of the Confederacy from different directions according to the concept, which he shared with Abraham Lincoln and William Sherman, that only the utter defeat of the Confederate forces and their economic supply would win the War for the Union (Wikipedia).

The strategy pitted Grant,…… [Read More]

2008 Campaign Frames

Political Framing

In politics, it is advisable to apply a plethora of strategies all geared towards realizing triumph against the rivaling camp. The dominating camp and its rival camp apply various viscosities meant to injure the rivals politically. Most campaigns strategies often seek to trail the weaknesses of the rival and as a result, provide justifiable position to attack the opponents at all times. The frames seem a derivative of these stratagems. Political framing is instrumental since it aids the construction of a phenomenon that either favors the dominating camp or disfavors the opposing camp. This study will attempt to compare and contrast the equivalent frame and emphasis frame as applied in Lesbianism Gay and Bisexual (LGB) political topic.
