The first post induces fear by incorporating the four steps we discussed in class. We show that there is a real risk as we show pictures and data of the disadvantages of teen pregnancy, such as a high drop out rate, and risk of poverty. We show that there is a very good chance it might happen to our audience with data such as the fact that one in three girls will become pregnant by the age of 18. We show that this all can be prevented by condom use, and explain where condoms can be obtained.
The second post is a simplified message with distractions. The simple statement "Use birth control every time!" Scrolls above and below a picture of cats. The picture is meant to be amusing, and the scrolling text is distracting, hopefully inducing the viewers willingness to use birth control through peripheral route processing.
The third post explains both sides of the sexual education versus abstinence only education argument. Many individuals feel that children should not be given sexual health education, as it will only encourage promiscuity, and is inappropriate for their age. However, we argue that they need to be properly informed so that if they choose to engage in sexual behaviors, they know how to protect themselves from pregnancy at an age where they cannot handle the responsibility of parenting.
