The Adbusters Media Foundation

1) I would like to talk about the advert anti racism of Benetton which was puplished on the Bentton website. We can see on this poster, several hands, of all colors, they are one over the other. This proves that they are working together, we can assume that the goal of this poster is to highlight the team spirit. Indeed, the only way to advance is to be welded elbows, whether you are black, white, gray ... it is thanks to others as we advance in a group of people, all people will be able to give their supports to others.

2) The Adbusters Media Foundation is a Canadian-based not-for-profit, anti-consumerist, pro-environment[1] organization founded in 1989 by Kalle Lasn and Bill Schmalz in Vancouver, British Columbia. Adbusters describes itself as "a global network of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age.

Adbusters has launched numerous international campaigns, including Buy Nothing Day, TV Turnoff Week and Occupy Wall Street, and is known for their "subvertisements" that spoof popular advertisements.

3) This poster highlights the danger alcohol, Indeed according to the World Health organization, alcohol kills more than 3 million people worldwide each year, which translates to one person every 10 seconds. That’s more than the amount of people lost to AIDS, tuberculosis, and violence. The statistic includes alcohol-related driving fatalities, violence, and health issues arising from excessive alcohol consumption.

Alcohol can cause you problem in different cases such as:

Drunk driving accounted for ten thousand deaths in 2010—that was over thirty percent of all traffic fatalities.

Acute alcohol poisoning kills over one thousand people each year.

Nearly sixteen thousand people died in 2010 from alcohol-induced liver disease.

Over fifty percent of people who die in fires have high blood-alcohol levels.

One quarter of all emergency room admissions, one-third of all suicides and more than half of all homicides and incidents of domestic violence are alcohol related.

Unintentional injuries related to alcohol consumption cause over eighteen hundred deaths each year among college students.

Health problems, including increased likelihood of stroke, diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, esophageal cancer, and compromised immune system can lead, if untreated, to premature death.

Alcohol in combination with other drugs, especially pain medications, tranquilizers, and sleep medications, can cause death by slowing down respiration as well as by causing the aspiration of vomit.

The simple fact is that alcohol impairs judgment, cognition, inhibitions regarding excessive risk-taking and acting out of aggressive tendencies, and other faculties that reduce the likelihood of accident or death. If alcohol consumption becomes regular, increases over time, or increases in amount, or if consequences of drinking are accumulating, treatment is indicated, because yes, alcohol can kill you.
