Task

Advertisements of 3 different health fads

Bloodletting advertisement: Barbers (who were the main bloodleters) advertised bloodletting by paints red swirls around polls outside of their shop. Or painted signs in their shop about it. 

In Australia bloodleting was also advertised by red painted polls and also in newspapers. 

Tabbacco advertisement: Tobbacco was first advertised in newspapers in New York. As the years went on tobacco was advertised at sponsored sporting events or sponsored television shows.

In Australia September 1976 the government totally banned tobacco and cigaret advertisement on TV and local places such as parks and shopping centres. As of 2013 most cigerat packaging was pain and fully described all the chemicals and annual death rates on the back of the package.

Shark cartilage advertisement: Shark cartilage was advertised by many fishing componise. In local fishos they may have shark cartilage. They are also advertised at boating events, newspapers and varities of media. 

In Port Lincoln, South Australia, Australia, they port alot of shark cartlliige and advertise it in pharmacys and health food stores around Australia, and marketed them in bottles. 

Why do I think the promotion of these 3 different health fads would be successful

Bloodletting: I think that the promotion/marketing of bloodletting would be successful because a lot of people go to the barber therefor many people will see the advertisement. 

Tobacco: I think that the promotion/marketing of tobacco would be successful because it was advertised a lot in newspapers which was read by many people young and old back then.

Shark Cartilage: I think that the promotion/marketing of shark cartilage would be successful because it is advertised in many chemists, and many people go to chemists every day, so they would see it there. 

Why do I think the promotion of these 3 different health fads would be unsuccessfulBloodlettingI think that the promotion/marketing of bloodletting would be unsuccessful because it is very painful and does not do much to your body.

Tobacco: I think that the promotion/marketing of tobacco would be unsuccessful because it was banned from being advertised after some time. Many doctors and physicists said that it is extremely unhealthy and possibly fatal to their clients and in advertisements in newspapers and various kinds of media.

Shark Cartilage: I think that the promotion/marketing of shark cartilage would be unsuccessful because it was and has never been scientifically proved to cure cancer.

What of these 3 health fads would I like to try and whyThe health fad that I would rather try is bloodletting, because I don't mind a bit of pain and I am not afraid of blood. I hate seafood so I would't do that, and I will never smock because it is highly unhealthy for you.

What health fad would I rather not try and why The health fad that I would not what to do is tobacco because it may give you lunge cancer. 

What are the negative things about each health fadBloodletting: The negative things about bloodletting is that it killed more people than cured them, and damaged many parts of the body including the heart and joints.

Tobacco: The negative things about tobacco is that it develops cancer and many different types of diseases. 

Shark Cartilage: There are no negative things that shark cartilage can do to anyone except if they are allergic to it.

Evaluation

- Sun tanning and pills are 2 dangerous health fads. 

Sun tanning is lying in the sun to make your skin look darker. Many poeple do it to look better. It gives sun cancer and isnvery dangerous for your skin. 

Pills are to make you look slimmer. And have many side affects and are not healthy.

- The type of people who would go on these 2 health fad would probably be people who are consumed and abbessed with their looks and appearance. They would want to to go on these health fads because they are not impressed and upset about how they look at the moment. 

- The side affects to sun tanning are very serious. Many people get sun cancer and can die from spending too much time in the sun. 

The side affects for pills are serious too. You can get stomach pain and head aces. Moody (mad and crabby) attitude comes along with it as well.

Conclusion

Credits

From the work that I have done from these Health Fads I have learnt many things. One big thing that I discovered is that you can not trust all Helath Fads, and you will need to look into the details to start one. I have learnt that there are many differnt ways to advertise health fads, and many ways to avoid getting sucked into them by adds. I have learnt the danger of different fads, and what they can do to my body.

Companies can get poeple to try their health fads in many ways. They can create adds that suck people into their fad. Also social media is a big way companies try to persuade people to try their health fad. At shoping malls there are sometime people in the isle that ask you to try their fad. 

A health fad that I have created is, to sleep with mosquitoes in a room that they can not escape from. The reason for sleeping with them is so they can suck your blood out, so that you can loose weight.

By getting the most mosquitos on you, you need the right blood type. If you don't have the right blood type, get on operation done to change it.
