    It's harmful as it contributes to the western propaganda that everyone can achieve everything when he just honestly pursues it, which is not the case due to differences in intelligence, assets, personal obligations, character, personal network etc. In former times religion asked us to be content with what we have, today's consumerism always teaches us never to be satisfied with anything in order to spend a lot of money while searching for the next something that might make us happy. So, don't regret anything, be happy with your life - you're doing great!

    Propaganda because makes people be able to feel like they can relate to it because they see how many people regret decisions in life.
    i dont think this is very beneficial because what do regrets in your life have to do with achieving a goal...
    They are selling this by making you feel like you arnt the only one, making it associations.

    This messages is propaganda by appealing to plain folk. It shows normal people talking about their biggest regrets in an attempt to persuade you to take chances and go to Strayer University. It is beneficial in trying to get people to get an education. They sell the message by showing plain people talking about their regrets and not taking chances.

    1: This message is propaganda, because it makes people feel like if they don't do the things they want, they will regret it
    2: This message is beneficial, making you not want to stop and regret things
    3: This propagandist is selling the message by having it out in the public and having non actors write and talk to us
    4: The emotional appeal of this message is appeal to pity, because it makes you feel sad for not doing things

    This qualifies as a propaganda by telling us to go for the things we will regret we didnt do later on. This is beneficial. The message is being sold by telling us to do the stuff we really want to the emotional appeal is appeal to self esteem.

    This videos propaganda is appealing to plain folks because its trying to tell this group of people that have regrets that they still have time to fix those things or change them. This video is making people bring out deeper emotions on how they feel about things in their past that they have done or things they want to do. This seems to be beneficial because its making people feel better about their past mistakes and telling them they can get closer on them.

    the message is saying how people shouldnt live in regret. beneficial It has people writing their regrets on a board and then making them erase them. I think its appeal to self esteem and appeal to pity because some of the regrets emotionally destroyed them because it was there life goals and we feel sorry for them watching them write there regrets and cry.

    I agree with Alba S because this message is trying to state that people shouldnt live in regret and they really shouldnt. She says how regret will destroy them and i feel she is correct.

    I agree with alba that people should not live in regret because it's not good there is no point just live your life to the fullest there are always bumps in the road and regret can destroy you as alba said and that's true so try not to.

    This video was very touching. It really encouraged me to think about my life. I am still young but this video made me open my eyes and realize that I shouldn't hesitate from taking risks or going on new adventures. Fortunately enough for some of these people, they seem to realize that they can still set out to do the things they regretted not doing. For example, someone wrote "never applying to med school" that person out there can turn that around, study and apply to med school if that is something they still have a desire to do and that is something I liked thinking about throughout this video.

    I believe this video is mostly beneficial because it is inspiring people to do things in the future that they may regret not doing. It also has the message that every day is a clean slate which is very uplifting and positive. The reason I didn't rate it as fully beneficial is because some people don't want to think about the things that they regret, they prefer to leave things in the past, and this obviously brings them back to the forefront.

    This propaganda is beneficial; it encourages the reader to do what they want to do rather than leave it as regret.
    It is a successful propaganda because it makes me think of my own situation. I was always want to learn how to edit a video, to be an influencer by uploading my video on youtube, I wish one day I could make positive propaganda video like this, and I also wish when I look back on my life I have nothing to regret.

    I agree with more than half the people who rated this video. The message of having time to achieve regrets is very powerful and it inspires hope.
