In Response to Lia Moreggi's Post...

     I think a lot of people will deny that any of the "above the influence" ad campaigns have any effect on their thoughts.  But this is what many viewers seem to say about any type of ad- when scientific experiments have proven otherwise.  After watching a quick commercial sponsored by this campaign, I have caught myself thinking about it well after the commercial has passed.  I think it would be great if they included suicide prevention campaigns, because it seems to be an increasing problem in today's society.  I also think that it would be great to see speakers travel around and talking about the consequences of drugs and alcohol in high schools and colleges.  However, I also think that it would be difficult to attract a college crowd.  These are the years that many high schoolers wait for to experience new things when their parents aren't around.  So, the approach to providing knowledge for this group of people would have to be changed a little to better target college students.
