Shock Advertising 

I would not say this is exactly an ethical piece, I looked up United Colors of Benetton, and all I could find was an online clothing store, so I don't think they would be the most ethical of sources for an equality advertising. 

I think this is appropriate because it is showing that all people have the same heart, we can't judge them by their skin, we are literally the same when it comes down to physical beings. We each have hands, arms, legs feet, and hearts.

This is simply saying, people are the same, no matter what skin color, so we should actually treat each other the same. I think it is propaganda because it is one sided and it is using a shock theme to convince people of something.

I think the moral issues that United Colors of Benetton is trying to show is people are seeing others as bad or different because they look different, UCOB is seeing this as a moral issue because we need to stop judging.

Shock Advertising

This is definitely ethical because it is advertising about violent games and was made by a very large and very known game corporation - PSP (Play Station Portable)

I think it is appropriate because it shows how a person could be killing someone in a game, but they're really hurting themselves.

This is an advertisement by PSP and it is sharing how violent games can dull someones sensitivity of violence. They start playing these games and even watching violent movies and shows and they don't realize the harm they are causing themselves in doing so, and also that it really happens. I also think that it is showing how people need to get off their video games and actually talk with real people. I think this is propaganda because it is one sided as I'm sure not all kids who play or watch violent things turn out messed up like this.

I think the moral issue here is that people are being desensitized by violence that is constantly around them.

Contemporary Propaganda

I don't think this is a very ethical piece, the LaRouche is a political and cultural movement that is sponsoring Lyndon LaRouche, who is a politician that started the LaRouche Movement, so this is all opinionated by one group.

I don't think this is very appropriate because it is comparing the President with Hitler, but I also do think it is appropriate because they are showing how strongly they feel about him with propaganda which is always one sided. Also they are using his propaganda statement "Change" to share their opinion that he as a person has changed for the worse for the country.

I think this is showing that President Obama has changed America and become very wrongly minded in his choices for the country, also since it is a LaRouche poster, they are saying to join the LaRouche movement. I think it is a propaganda because it is very one sided, mocking and telling people to follow other someone else's choices.

The moral issue here is people are thinking Obama has not changed America for the better, but for the worse as a whole.

Contemporary Propaganda

I think this is an ethical poster because it was created by the company that is creating the "Redolution".

I think it is appropriate, because it is showing that there is a 'war' between the m&ms and they are giving a sort of vintage look to support the propaganda poster for the red m&m team. 

This is a propaganda poster for a war between m&ms, it is also sponsoring that a person could win money by voting online. I think this is propaganda because it is clearly one sided. It has mostly red colors, says vote red and says 'The Redolution is on', telling the audience to vote for the red m&m and getting them excited about the chance to win money.

I think the responsibility the producer has for this poster is to support the red sided m&m in the 'war' and also get people excited about the possibility of winning money.
