Review 2: While examine the MAKE THE NEXT GENERATION TOBACCO-FREE: Regina M. Benjamin While examine the MAKE THE NEXT GENERATION TOBACCO-FREE Regina M. Benjamin, Most young people dont consider the long-term health consequences associated with tobacco use when they start smoking. Because most high school smokers are not able to break free from the powerful, addicting effects of nicotine, about three out of four will smoke in adulthood. Among those who persist in smoking, one third will die about 13 years earlier than their nonsmoking peers. This Surgeon Generals report details the causes and the consequences of tobacco use among youth and young adults by focusing on the social, environmental, advertising, and marketing influences that encourage youth and young adults to initiate and sustain tobacco use. This is the first time tobacco data on young adults as a discrete population has

been explored in detail. The research also highlights successful strategies to prevent young people from using tobacco. We need your help on this public health issue. Everything from making your home and car tobacco-free zones to demanding smoke-free policies in your community can make a difference. Mass media campaigns against tobacco usemost often TV adshave proven very effective at helping prevent tobacco use by young people. Studies show that teens respond most to ads that trigger strong negative feelings, such as ads about how smoking and secondhand smoke harm health and ads that expose the tobacco industrys marketing strategies that target young people. Even ads that are designed for adult audiences help reduce tobacco use among young people. Every 3 or 4 years, new groups of children and teens reach the age where they are vulnerable to influences encouraging them to smoke. To be effective, mass media campaigns must be repeated so they will reach new vulnerable populations. If the young people dont start using tobacco by age 26, they almost certainly will never start. The good news is that there are many things we can do to help keep teens and young adults tobacco-free.

Review 3: The MULTICULTURALISM FOR THE MASSES: SOCIAL ADVERTISING AND PUBLIC DIPLOMACY POST-9/11: Biljana Scott While analyzing The MULTICULTURALISM FOR THE MASSES: SOCIAL ADVERTISING AND PUBLIC DIPLOMACY POST-9/11, Biljana Scott observed that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 have brought an old problem into new focus: how to unite a population potentially divided along racial, ethnic and denominational fault lines. In the light of unprovoked and indiscriminate racist attacks on Muslim-looking minorities, multimedia advertising campaigns were mounted in several countries in order to control racism and sell multiculturalism. Author selected Three recent ad campaigns: the US Ad Councils I am an American, the UK Commission for Racial Equalitys The Unique Faces of Britain, and the equivalent Scottish campaign One Scotland Many Cultures. These campaigns are compared to The Family of Man exhibition of 1955 and to the groundbreaking United Colors of Benetton campaign of the last two decades. Advertising is the obvious medium for governments that opt for persuasion. Social advertising, known as Public Service Advertising (PSA) in America, aims to sell concepts rather than commodities and addresses issues in the public interest, such as health, safety and racial equality.

Author analyzed the impact of all the three advertising campaigns, which promote the multicultural national identity. I am an American: This television ad shows individuals of different ages, races, religions and occupations looking at the camera and saying, each in their own distinct accent and intonation, the single sentence: I am an American. I am an American proved to be hugely popular, as witnessed by the many congratulatory responses sent to the Ad Councils. The Unique Faces of Britain: According to the author this campaign, produced by the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE), consists of a poster featuring numerous head and shoulder shots of ordinary people on the street. As with the I am an American campaign, the individual pictures represent different ages, ethnic groups and in this case, towns of origin. The heading reads: Britain. We all make it unique. The message adds: 56 million people, over 300 languages and at least 14 faiths make us what we are today. Regional variants of this poster were produced in some cities. The Unique Faces of London poster, for instance, produced in conjunction with the Greater London Authority, features photographs of men, women and children of different ethnic backgrounds, creating a snapshot of the many faces of London in 2001. It was produced, says the

CRE in response to fears of a racist backlash against Londons Asian communities due to the current international situation, Author analyzes the impact of the message might seem to be in inverse proportion to its wordiness, the reaction to this campaign was nevertheless very positive: The response has been great. Weve had calls from local people saying its really made them feel at one with their neighbours and interestingly those calls havent just been from minority groups.

One Scotland Many Cultures: The Scottish anti-racist campaign, which was not conceived solely as a reaction to the racist fallout of the 9/11 attacks, is a more sustained multi-media venture than its English or American equivalents. It consists of an extensive Multiculturalism for the Masses Biljana Scott Intercultural Communication and Diplomacy 161 website which provides information on diverse topics related to the integration of ethnic minorities in Scotland. These include a history of migration, comprehensive statistics on demographic trends, as well as notification of nationwide activities and events related to the campaign, chatlines, teaching resources, useful links and much more besides. The aim of the One Scotland.

Author analyzed all three campaigns proved to be genuinely moving and persuasive, affirming a sense of identity and of belonging which the majority of people, judging from their feedback, were grateful to be reminded of and proud to be a part of. While it is admittedly difficult to measure the influence of such advertising, these three campaigns nevertheless epitomise the attempt to create communication programs which make a measurable difference in society.
