The Role Of Starvation In The Dust Bowl
The purpose of our organization was end starvation in the Dust Bowl by telling people to keep their food clean and encourage them to donate to the FSCC, an organization dedicated to distributing food to people and children in need. We expressed this message through an advertisement in the form of a poster. Donation is a money related issue, so we plan to have the poster near trading posts and banks, where people have access to money or food to donate. Since donation is not as interesting of a concern, people could forget about it after hearing through the radio. Posters cause the reader to have to use cognitive skills which makes the information have a greater impact on them.
Food had its scarcity during this time period in both the East

    Community Food Bank Reflection

These seven programs include Atlanta Prosperity Campaign, Atlanta’s Table, Community Gardens, Hunger 101, Hunger Walk/Run, Kids In Need and Product Rescue Center. I had the opportunity to participate in two of their programs, which were the Hunger 101 program and the Product Rescue Center. I was first introduced to this organization by volunteering for their Hunger 101 program. This program was very enlightening, and it inspired me to make a difference in my community. This program entailed an interactive group session that educated the volunteers about the hunger problem in Georgia. The volunteers participated in a workshop where we were given the role of being a less fortunate person for a day. We were given this person’s income, how many people lived their house, and all the expenses that they had to pay for. We had to use those values to calculate how much money that person has to spend on food per day. I discovered that most of these people had no more than three dollars to spend on food for their whole family in one day.…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience With FBLA

    For the past 2 years I have been a member of FBLA, also known as Future Business Leaders of America. I have been under the guidance of Mrs. Gabel, Mr. Shrader, and Mrs. Smith through these last couple of years, and they have been an important part of my experience with FBLA. Through their influence, they encouraged me to volunteer through different means, such as the food drive and helping with concession stands. I volunteer my time because it helps out the community and helps those who are in need. The concession stands also were not required, but if you wanted to help fundraise, you would be helping out the local chapter. The food drive is where different members of our local chapter of FBLA gathered together, and collected extra food that people didn’t need.…

    Causes Of The Dust Bowl

    The Dust Bowl began on Thursday, April 18, 1935, it was a huge, black, cloud of dirt, piled up on the western horizon. This storm was enormous and deadly. The Dust Bowl affected Oklahoma, Texas, parts of Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico. These states were vulnerable to the dust storm due to their lack of rainfall, light soil, and high winds. As a result, soil lacked the the strong roots of grass in order to stay in place, this made it easier for high, hectic winds to get a hold of the soil. Years before the Dust Bowl, ranchers and farmers looking for new land to grow crops and maintain live stock stumble across this land. Hoping to finally settle down and start their business; however, on 1935, the very land that gave them hope, now gave them…

    The Dust Bowl

    The Dust Bowl was the name given to the Great Plains region devastated by drought in 1930s depression-ridden America. The 150,000-square-mile area, encompassing the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles and neighboring sections of Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico, has little rainfall, light soil, and high winds, a potentially destructive combination. When drought struck from 1934 to 1937, the soil lacked the stronger root system of grass as an anchor, so the winds easily picked up the loose topsoil and swirled it into dense dust clouds, called "black blizzards." Recurrent dust storms wreaked havoc, choking cattle and pasture lands and driving 60 percent of the population from the region. Most of these "exodusters" went to agricultural areas first and then to cities, especially in the Far West.…

    Analysis: The Blood Box

    The bold words that catch the eye first read: “Money Isn’t Everything.” This common phrase that implies non-physical items are what a person should cherish brings comfort to countless individuals. Also, being familiar that phrase holds viewers with their own connection with the expression. However, this ad uses the words to claim what cannot be fabricated by scientist is important. It being in a statement form delivers the message as fact, giving additional ethos to the ad. The smaller words underneath say “up to three lives can be saved without a cent.” Many believe without money to give, they have nothing to give, but these words tell the readers they can give and they can help. As the ad is about donating blood, it argues money only donations are not nearly as effective without others giving of themselves, literally, to keep those that need care…
