1. It claims that people choose to ignore childhood obesity because it is a sensitive subject that could hurt feelings if brought up. 2. The photo assumes that if you confront the problem, change will come. And that ignoring it, will only prolong the obesity. 3. These photos suggest these children are miserable and are waiting for someone to help them, but everyone is too afraid to talk about it. But is does not suggest that people are okay with their bodies and do not need to be skinny to be happy. 4. This makes me think that maybe the advertisement should be geared towards parents to influence better eating habits, not at the children.

This is when you discredit the opponent or opposing view in advance.
 * Poisoning the Well - Ethos**



This is a great example of Poisoning the Well because they say how taking “under God” out of the pledge would be Godless and then mention Kay Hagan’s name. Therefore they want to portray Hagan as a Godless American that would be a terrible leader.

Straw Man- oversimplifying an opponent’s argument to make it easier to refute or ridicule. Rather than summarizing an opponent’s view fairly and completely, you basically make up the argument you wish your opponent had made because it is much easier to knock down. The man was only asked what kind of certification he had received. No one ever asked him why he was going through certification, but he goes on a rampage telling them about why certification is important and what the world would be like without it.
