We often think of exploited workers as female but this depicts a young man. Might be beneficial in raising the awareness of the many different kinds of exploited workers in the U.S. and around the world.

    I think this is beneficial because everyone is scared of human trafficking in certain country's but this shows that they are everywhere and you will never know who they are or what they will look or act like.

    This is propaganda because the media has victimized women to be exploited workers, which is misleading. In this case it applies to men as well which gives a new perspective. This propaganda uses pathos, since it can cause people to make an emotional remark of shock or surprise to see that this applies to men as much as women. The pathos technique can also make people be aware of multiple kinds of exploited workers all around.

    This was interesting because its a problem that is mostly overlooked. This add uses Pathos by showing a sad young man working and not in the best conditions. This also uses emotional appeal in that since , it may make people pay more attention to this issue.

    I don't agree that this piece is propaganda. Although it makes an emotional appeal to get the attention of readers I don't believe it is jumping to irrational conclusions to inflame peoples emotions. It is simply trying to give readers tools to identify different forms of human trafficking.

    This ad evokes an emotional response, and encourages the viewer to act, this makes the ad propaganda. This ad creates an emotional response to want to help the sad man depicted on the ad, showing the use pathos. This ad is is an attempt to inform and persuade viewers to report and help people suspected on being trafficked, encouraging action.

    This advertisement raises the question of what propaganda is. The advertisement uses pathos by showing an example of an exploited person. The advertisement wants to create an emotional reaction and stir the viewer to act. It is similar to war-time propaganda that is used by many nations. There is an evil force that has caused this man to live in servitude. It becomes the responsibility of the viewer to bring down this malevolent presence.

    This is effective use of pathos. Plenty of the clothing we wear has tags that say they were produced in poor, third world countries. Many of the workers are paid very cheap wages that are close enough to unlivable and sometimes are not even paid at all for their work. It is not something many of us give any thought to when getting dressed each day.

    I think this propaganda uses pathos to get their point across because it uses a sad worker to show hoe unhappy he is that he is invisible to people, and that he needs help. I think this is beneficial because it can help us realize that women are not the only people being exploited and sold into human trafficking.

    In this form of propaganda the ad is trying to create awareness of human trafficking. By raising this awareness, they hope to get people to participate in helping people who are trafficked. This can be false premise because the establishment that made the ad assumes that if they show a helpless person working it can make people recognize human trafficking.

    This is propaganda because it is going out of it's way to appeal to our emotions. This is a positive example of propaganda however because it is calling attention to human trafficking and the crisis that is happening.

    I find this billboard extremely effective, it opens the eyes to many people that when workers are exploited were not only thinking of women and children but also young men and older ones as well. Many people do not understand that in many countries women and children are often taken to work while men and strong boys often work for the people who enslaved the others. This billboard allows for the huge realization that even young men and older men are forced to work for no money, no food, no home and nothing that will benefit them in the end.

    This just goes to show that anyone could be in harms way when in the work place not just women. It is kind of reverse psychology maybe if i mean this in the correct way that its not only women that get exploited.

    Very beneficial to show that males are victims of exploitation as well as females.
