I think this picture would be good to use, because not only is it an example of PETA famous ad campaign, but the woman pictured, Sadie Frost, is a fashion designer and doesn’t use fur in her collections. It also highlights PETA’s ability to get famous people to help with their campaign.

This is another example of PETA’s edgy anti-meat ad campaign. This type of advertising grabs people’s attention, and gives people a different perspective to think about, which is a topic I want to cover. www.ruthgumbau.com/global/2006_04_01_archive.html





This is an example o f the inhumane animal testing, and is something that I strongly protest. The most terrible thing about these pictures is that there are alternatives to animal testing that would spare the gratuitous cutting, prodding and drilling that occurs in laboratories all around the world. One nice thing about this picture is that it is from a website that has links to many more anti-animal testing articles that would be useful in my paper.

Title: Corny collagen
Vastag, Brian. “Corny collagen.” Science News 172.9 (2007): 142-142.

This article discusses how the coating used on the outside of pills and capsules are made from gelatin, which is in turn made from the leftover bits of animals in the slaughterhouses. The most prominent protein in gelatin is collagen, which scientists have just discovered they can extract from bioengineered corn. This article is pertinent to my research paper, because it discusses how it is not only getting easier to become and maintain being a vegetarian, but also all of the good things that can come from being a vegetarian.

Title: Strategies, Action Repertoires and DIY Activism in the Animal Rights Movement.
Munro, Lyle. “Strategies, Action Repertoires and DIY Activism in the Animal Rights Movement.” Social Movement Studies 4.1 (2005) 75-94. Academic Search Premier. EBSCOhost. Helmke Lib., Ft. Wayne, IN. <http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=17248967&loginpage=Login.asp&site=ehost-live&scope=site>

This paper is about how the animal movement is overwhelmingly non-violent and that its strategies and tactical repertoires are in the main the conventional, legal tactics used by non-violent movements, even though it has been labeled as extremist. The article mentions PETA, and how it’s main goals are to get attention for their cause and to disturb the status quo. This is good for my paper, because it disproves the assumption that PETA are extremists. It also covers animal cruelty prevention and discuss PETA a lot, which is a group I want to cover in my paper.

Title: MLC to refer PETA to ad watchdog
“MLC to refer PETA to ad watchdog.” Farmers Weekly 145.15 (2006): 7-7. Academic Search Premier. EBSCOhost. Helmke Lib., Ft. Wayne, IN. <http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=23143967&loginpage=Login.asp&site=ehost-live&scope=site>

This is a short article documenting an instance where PETA’s advertising got them in trouble. In Britian, PETA posted an ad campaign stating that feeding your children meat was child abuse. The MEAT AND LIVESTOCK COMMISSION raised a complaint, stating that PETA didn’t base their advertising on scientific evidence. This is an instance where PETA’s use of extreme advertising got them in trouble with the MEAT INDUSTRY, and this would be a good point to cover in my paper. It is interesting to note that the parents didn’t raise a complaint, rather the MEAT INDUSTRY did.

Braveheart said it all with the words, “FREEEEEEEDOOOMM!!!!!”

I agree with both Derek Bok and Milena Ateya arguments defending freedom of speech. They both provided ample supporting evidence to substantiate their claims, and they also did it in a lucid and logical way.

To me, hate speech is anything that is unnecessary or derogatory against any other living thing, whether it is human or otherwise. People who spout hate have little self control, and I personally have little patience for them. They contain an obvious disrespect for other sentient beings, and even though there are varying levels of hate speech, there is never an innocuous form of hate.

A college campus is a place of higher education, and being as such, sensitive topics are often broached. The right to freedom of speech is something that should never be taken away, and should such a situation arise where a student is being insensitive to others’ personal beliefs by posting a controversial item, such as a confederate flag, that student should not only be reminded why the item is offensive, but also forced to remove the item- The item should only be removed after it has caused enough of an uproar to get the people petitioning. Simply having parents call to complain isn’t enough; the offended students must be forced to rise up and act before another person’s rights are infringed upon.

Each individual has certain unalienable rights, which should never be limited, but every person also deserves respect. It is a hard balance to maintain, because while freedom of speech should never be limited, speech can fall into the realm of gratuitous, where action is necessary. I personally have never run into this problem before, I have only dealt with it in theory.

A Lawyer's Argument

From the New York Times

Most of the image is obscured by clouds of thick white smoke. In the fore of the picture is a lawyer, clad in a suit and jacket, winding his arm all the way back in preparation to throw a smoke grenade back at the police, who lobbed the said grenade only moments before.

This image is an effective tool to convey the argument of pro-democracy and anti-police state as imposed by the current President of Pakistan Musharraf, because of the way the visual elements work together. Lawyers have a stigma of being soul sucking fiends, who only care about the highest bidder, but that is not the case in Pakistan. There, Lawyers are literally marching in the streets to protest the dissolution of the Pakistani Constitution and Supreme Courts. The image of a single man, fighting tooth and nail to defend democracy, in conjunction with the destruction as caused by the imposing regime, casts a righteous light on the lawyer’s cause.

A Mighty Argument

The argument contained within this picture is based on both Character (Ethos) and Reason (Logos).

The argument based on Character, or Ethos, is derived from the fact that although the picture contains no words to indicate a reputable source, it was printed in the New York Times, which has earned for itself a very trustworthy and prestigious name. The reader can then infer that the argument made by this picture must be trustworthy because it was endorsed and printed by such a reliable source.

The other argument in this picture, based on facts and reasons, or Logos, makes a bold statement using only visual elements. The argument is one of justice and determination, and is in favor of the Monks. The picture highlights the best aspects of the monks, such as individual determined faces marching through the rain. The monks were marching to support democracy, and that can be inferred from the way the monks are positioned in the picture.
