Positions Expressed Around me/Citations Collaborative Exercise



Australian Government. Australian Dietary Guidelines. Canberra: Australian Government, 2014.              Healthy Eating for Children. Eat for Health, 2014. Web. 5 Nov. 2015.                                          <https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/sites/default/files/files/the_guidelines/n55f_children_brochure.pdf

Analysis: This brochure takes a postion on childhood obesity and offers healthy eating tips, as well as an authoritative tone on the topic. They offer serving sizes, healthy habits, and foods you should stay away from for a healthy diet. This topic matters because children are developing many health problems because of obesity, and the Australian Government wants to take a stance on it as soon as possible with healthy eating plans and tips.




Bee, Sacramento, ed. "EBOLA." Abilene Reporter News. N.p., n.d. Web. 5 Nov. 2015.                                <http://www.reporternews.com/news/political-cartoons-10102014>.

Analysis: This cartoon takes a position on the general worries of popular North America. While obesity, tobacco, and alcohol take over 830,000 deaths combined per year, the general population is worried about Ebola. The topic matters because as Americans we are so disconnected with what is already upon us because we spend so much time worrying about what the media and news blows up.

Starbucks. Press Mag Media Launch Campaign to Promote First Starbucks Franchise in the UK.              N.p., n.d. Web. 5 Nov. 2015. <http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/2/prweb10429058.htm>.

Analysis: This advertisement takes a position on spending more time with friends, while drinking Starbucks coffee. They are persuading the viewer to spend money at their store, but of course for a purpose. This topic matters, because although Starbucks is only making this ad to sell more of their products, the topic at hand is real. People nowadays don't nearly spend as much time with each other as they should, and Starbucks I believe has helped lessen that.
