argument... living on campus

There are so many huge benefits of living on campus your freshman year. From all the resourses to jsut being connected with other students. During your freshman year you need the support of your peers and a learning environment to truely take advantage of your education.
Some argue that some freshman cant take school seriously when they are around so much distraction but i believe that is a personal issue with each student and there are statistics that say if you live on campus you are more likely to graduate on time or jsut at all. It is also a way to get involved especially for out of state students that dont know anybody yet.

Argument

Animal cruelty in America is a huge problem that needs to be resolved. Although it has been beneficial in the past, it is time to change and find alturnatives to using animals. 17 million animals are used for animal testing per year. 4 million of them are used for non-medical products.
It is true that medical break throghs have come from animal testing but this does not mean that we should keep relying on it instead of thinking of future alturnatives. Animal rights activists argue that it is barbaric and that we should use new ways to test deseases instead of injecting them in to innocent animals.
Although this problem will not end soon laws are being passed to help protect and save some animals from the torture of being tested on. This is a problem that needs to be recognized more and hopefully ended.

In this ad Britney Spears is trying to sell her new product. At first glance the purfum seems like something that would be light and smell very good. The author dresses her up in clothes that are very lightly colored and also very small. She shows a lot of skin s which always brings girls to think that if they buy the product they will look like the model in the ad.
The audience is definitely young woman. The focus is the make them buy the product that is being advertised. The author uses a very famous person which draws woman of all ages to the ad. Then uses a nice background with birds to make the audience have a certain relaxed feeling about the product which may be very appealing.
