Visual PSA About Drinking And Driving

Improved Essays
The visual PSA about drinking and driving is raising awareness of drunk driving and the outcome. The positive purpose is convincing young adults, parents, and kids watching the advertisement to stay safe, consider the surrounding, be responsible, and have self control. The negative appeal of the PSA is the oversimplified message because it ignores the females driving, getting help, and the consequences of the driver’s actions. Audiences are manipulated to accept that only young men make bad decisions. The focus of the victim and his family emphasizes the negative outcome of young men’s decisions. The negative outcome is losing a family member at hand of a young drunk men. Therefore, it has an impact for a life time in term of emotional reactions

    It was hypothesized that drinking/driving programs should constitute a major type of program based solely on the program content (Goodstadt, personal communication, November 10, 1989). These programs emphasize an individual's responsibility in alcohol-related accidents or deaths, personal safety relative to driving with someone who has been drinking, and responsibility for providing safe transportation for friends who have been drinking (e.g., designated drivers). Only 10 drinking/driving programs were located. Within this subgroup, there were five different types of programs: KO, KO with fear tactics, K+A, SI , and CLS programs. Surprisingly, the effect sizes ranged from -0.18 to 0.30, showing extreme heterogeneity; this indicates that other…

    The History of MADD and the Drunk Driving Movement Driving while intoxicated is an issue surrounding many in our society since the invention of the automobile. Although it’s been the topic of countless conversations over the decades, it was consequently the elephant in the room that no one spoke of. However, with the emergence of different awareness movements, such as the victims of drunk driving in the late 1970s and early 1980s, (Rid) Remove Intoxicated Drivers and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (Madd), society could no longer turn a blind eye with the full scale awareness of these movements. The initial idea for Mothers against Drunk Drivers came about because of the loss of Candy Lightener’s daughter Cari lightner, a 13-year-old…

    Every day twenty eight people’s lives have been taken in the United States due to an impaired friend driving under the influence. That adds up to about 10,220 deaths per year all because someone felt the need to put themselves,and others in the car at risk, just because they could not wait until they were not impaired to drive. The Budweiser marketing team devised a commercial in 2015 called “Someone Waits For You At Home” to try to persuade people to not drive while inebriated. They create a sense of pain and sadness in order to convey the message to not drink and drive amongst those who are at the legal drinking age, and to those under the drinking age so they can influence people early on in their life. They encourage people that they have…

That was until Fiat launched their campaign to join the movement and try to persuade those to not drink and drive, using a creative way to share their message.…

    Audiences are manipulated to accept information when producers use fear to influence their decisions and pity to make people feel sorrow towards the subject of matter. In addition, audiences are manipulated when they can relate to the subject matter being presented to them. Fear tactics are crucial for the audiences to accept information from the media. An example of fear tactic that the producer uses in this ad is when the soccer player’s car loses a part of its tire causing the audiences feel scared about the situation. In addition, after the car rolls over, getting into the little kid’s backyard and completely hitting the little kid.…

    Alcohol is also indirectly portrayed as something that leads to the consumption of more alcohol, which leads to a person becoming very drunk and is therefore very dangerous to teenagers and young adults. The advert is therefore sending teenagers the message that they must not drink excessively and should know their limits and the amount of alcohol they can handle. 2. Firstly, the advert has an impact on the values and beliefs of parents of young adults or teenagers. Since parents value their children’s safety and overall wellbeing, they do not want their children to be in any of the possible, dangerous and undignified situations shown by the advert.…
