Life Orientation Alcohol Assignment
Task 1: Advert

1. Alcohol is indirectly portrayed through mans and woman's behaviour and appearance. Alcohol is portrayed in the advert of the woman through her torn top, smeared makeup, the vomit in her hair and through the broken heel of her shoes.

The audience can relate to this because when the screen goes black especially the first time it really makes the audience ponder what it would be like if their loved ones never made it home, and also how it would make their loved ones feel if they didn’t make it back home after a night of drinking. Therefore, making the audience wanting to be responsible after a night of drinking that way they are able to see their family and friends again.

The effects of advertising begin the moment a child asks for a new toy seen on TV or a middle aged man decides he needs that new car. It is negatively impacting our society.
