Both these images above highlight how children are in need globally and locally because of the suffering they endure ranging from homelessness, poor nutrition, deficient child care, dangerous neighborhoods, and underfunded schools–just a few of the many adverse effects of poverty on the world’s children. I have brought these two images together because of how they convey the same message in different ways. The image on the left uses a real-life impoverished child and relies on the emotion encompassed within it to state its claim. In comparison, the image on the right employs statistics and certain colors to give more information on the issue of child poverty. From these images, you can contribute to a healthier population in your community and worldwide when you donate money, goods, or your time by volunteering for initiatives that assist the underprivileged in overcoming child poverty.
I choose the black and white image of this little girl with her hand out begging as my Civic artifact because child poverty has been a problem affecting many worldwide for far too long. Children who do not develop to their true ability cannot fully contribute to social, political, or economic growth, and those who are raised in poverty have a higher likelihood of being poor as adults, continuing the cycle of inequality and suffering. It also made me recall a time when I was in Colombia for my first communion instead of having presents given to me my family and I asked all the invitees to bring toys or money for donation. For this initiative, I was excited to contribute to the effort to help those that were underprivileged. When you travel from the US to a third-world country like Colombia, you encounter a level of cultural shock that is very difficult to explain to someone who has never experienced it. Within the targeted audience lies constraints on the financial capability of those willing to help, along with time availability. There is also the unknowingness of the viewers’ beliefs– they might think to themselves if it’s a cause they are truly passionate about and believe is worth their time. That is why this image appeases its audience without being disrespectful and shows them the reality of how others around them especially from such a young age go through these hardships every day.
Through a trust lens, the viewer sees how it is a humbling image that draws attention to itself in a somber, empathetic way. With the use of pathos, the image evokes compassion from the viewer as it provides this tear-jerking feeling when seeing the miserable look on this young girl’s face as she stares deeply into the camera–makes the viewer want to donate. There is no use of color to transcend the audience’s mood and make them feel as the child does in this image living in the darkness of her situation desperately in need of help. The image tells the heartbreaking story of a child living in poverty who has resorted to begging on the streets hoping for the chance that someone will give her some money or food.
A social movement lens is apparent to convey the idea that coming together one step at a time as a community can help do away with this worldwide problem. A need for wiping out this issue is emphasized through the underlying method of persuasion the image uses. The physiognomy of persuasion is a component involved in the social movement lens that is depicted in this image as it bolsters the idea of helping underprivileged children through the observation of the girl’s character–revealing it to be honest and real. With this, the viewer would be persuaded to join the movement because they would see this campaign as an important cause that is genuine and not something they would be wasting their time and money on.
Comparatively, my second image shows five children in the color orange happy and playful, yet there is one out of the five that is in a darker color and standing still. Above the text reads “1 in 5 children lives in poverty”. Arising from the same exigence highlights the importance of the negative effects poverty has on children globally straining their development to the point of endangering their futures and continuing the cycle of impoverishment. The targeted audience would most likely be viewers locally and in North America, since the text is in English. Along with this, similarly to the previous image, this one is within the same constraints of who would be financially capable to donate or having the time to volunteer for this cause. In contrast, this image has the constraints of who is able to access this image and understand its message since language is limited.
In connection to the last artifact through a trust lens, observers are drawn to the image for its bold use of color and the factual evidence displayed. Logos is employed to appeal to the audience in a reasonable and logical way. Using these facts and figures the image makes clear, reasonable connections to the concepts the cause is trying to bring into the light. For example, the color orange is employed on the four children not impoverished because orange symbolizes joy and happiness, while the one child living in poverty has the black color because that color is associated with feelings of sadness and anger. The campaign also uses statistical findings to show how many are actually affected and the harsh reality of children worldwide undergoing this struggle to persuade them to donate.
The social movement lens is again used in this image to call attention to the notion that solving this global issue requires a community working together progressively. The component of this lens, public discussion is aroused as the text in the image leaves readers interested in the fact since its findings are anxiety-provoking and persuade the reader to care about the cause or at least discuss it with someone else as a way to spread the call to action. Both images use the physiognomy of persuasion to show that the cause is honest and logical to donate goods or money as a way to help alleviate this issue or even get involved by volunteering.
These artifacts alike share the same message for viewers to take action in destroying child poverty and alleviating the dangers of future developmental problems. Yet, there are differences in values when it comes to which element of the trust lens each image is using–my original artifact uses pathos to gain an authentic human reaction, while the second artifact employs logos to appear reasonable and compelling to the audience. Furthermore, the audiences of these artifacts will be exposed based on their beliefs, whether or not they choose to donate because they feel sympathetic to the cause or just because they feel it would be logical to do so. On the other hand, the audience’s beliefs could also be exposed against the cause if they feel the persuasive strategies both artifacts employ are something they don’t feel passionate about or because they aren’t able to assist in the initiative.
There has not been a change as child poverty still plagues communities and children all across the world. Both these artifacts bring attention to how this problem can be solved through donations. Donations can help children living in poverty by funding programs for their health, nutrition, and education. The artifacts educate the readers are on how impactful this issue is and vital to resolve it since children are the future. Since the artifacts may constrain the audience it’s also suggested that to bring about change it must start in the children’s local communities where large-scale community programs can take place to improve this dire situation.
If you donate money, goods, or your time to organizations that help the poor overcome child poverty, you can help create a healthy population in your local community and around the world. To escape poverty, those who are living in it must have the chance to grow. When you contribute to a charitable project, you’ll motivate others to follow your example. You can urge your family and friends to donate by making a donation yourself. If you are like me and have a connection to the issue of poverty you will feel more a part of the donation you make when you support a cause you care about. I suggest finding out more about charitable organizations and taking action to bring about the change you wish to see in eradicating poverty worldwide.
Speech outline:
Attention Getter: homelessness, poor nutrition, deficient child care, dangerous neighborhoods, and underfunded schools are just a few of the many adverse effects of poverty on the world’s children.
Purpose of the speech and Rhetorical Situation: I choose this image because the issue of child poverty has always been a problem I’ve been connected to in the past. Also, for children, poverty has numerous negative effects that can be helped through donations.
Lenses: trust and social movement
Broader Context: you can contribute to a healthier population in your community when you provide money, goods, or your time by volunteering for initiatives that assist the underprivileged in overcoming poverty. When you contribute to a charitable project, you’ll motivate others to follow your example. You can urge your family and friends to donate by making a donation yourself.
Closer: so, I want you all to ask yourself how you can donate to bring about change and help eradicate poverty worldwide. I suggest finding out more about charitable organizations to take action. Thank you!

“I like to call Fall leather weather”
-XXMK
Thursday, September 22nd was the Autumn Equinox, so I thought it was time to share some of the most fashionable trends coming and staying this Fall. From leather to Y2k aesthetic, knitwear, mini skirts, staple pieces, and more! This Fall has some of the most impactful designs lined up from small businesses to huge name brands in the fashion industry.
Speaking of a trend that is here to stay, the youthful and nostalgic Y2K style isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. There has been a strong presence of the Y2K style in popular culture recently, especially because of influential models, such as Bella Hadid above. Y2K style includes futuristic designs based on video games and movies with cybernetic themes from the 90s to the early 2000s. Notably, the bringing back of the corset has been the most loved article of clothing from this trend for autumn, many designers included corseted waists in their designs, and some took it a step further by molding corset pieces in metal to give them a futuristic flair and increase their durability.
Knitwear has taken fall by storm whatever your style is, there are tactile textures of cardigans, skirts, tops, dresses, two-pieces, and statement sweaters galore. Designers have appeared to encourage covering yourself in knit clothing. Recent fashion shows included models who were literally swaddled in wool, wrapped in multiple layers of knit and spooling wayward threads. The twin-set has had a young twist thanks to ’90s accessories; bulky sweaters have been coupled with the characteristic tulle evening gowns, and Fair Isle-style knits have been tied at the waist.
Leather is all the rage for this season! Brands are encouraging the idea of going out in leather and not staying home because when you are wearing these specific articles of clothing you are putting your best foot forward and a swagger in your stride. Just a few of the designs that have been featured by the fashion industry include expansive strides in the style of micro and midi dresses, as well as leather skirts and dresses bolstered by cheery pom-poms of leather trim.
For the Fall, corporate tailoring will no longer be just in the office. A spin on traditional business wear has been a notable consistency in recent fashion shows. There is no denying that contemporary fashion is becoming more experimental. Bright, eye-catching colors and the oversized look have turned the classic suit into this Autumn’s most interesting trend. Designers have been loving to splash color all across oversized suits since it makes the most effect. Because it’s all about vibrant color, even 1970s velvet suits are being revived. Businesses are encouraging customers that there has never been a better time to push yourself, take a chance, and reach for an outrageously colorful suit.

“New York Fashion Week only comes twice a year, make it count”
-Tommy Hilfiger
In light of New York Fashion Week having passed last week, I thought it would be nice to catch you all up on what you missed and what is trending for this new season. Friday afternoon marked the beginning of New York Fashion Week with Proenza Schouler. Fendi closed the first day with a runway presentation to mark the 25th anniversary of the iconic Baguette Bag. Leading designers from Manhattan’s fashion scene, including Carolina Herrera, Coach, Michael Kors, Tory Burch, and Tom Ford, started dominating the runways on Monday and continued on throughout the week. Along with them, Brandon Maxwell showcased their line on Tuesday followed by Gabriella Hearst. Intimate demonstrations introducing J’adore Parfum D’eau, the House’s newest fragrance, were also being held by Dior Beauty.

The Tommy Hilfiger presentation was scheduled for September 11th and would be considered the week’s highlight of the whole event. Furthermore, the company is making a comeback with a “See Now Buy Now” presentation that was live-streamed to the Roblox community on a worldwide scale that included game influencers and was complete with NFTs. Honoring pop culture and artistic expression the event was inspired by Andy Warhol. Up-and-coming photographers, videographers, and designers created live art during the performance and allowed viewers complete access to the backstage activities of the show. The set was left purposefully incomplete when audiences came, inviting them to participate in the creation of a fashion show with a crew of artists and designers. As he walked the carpet, Jon Batiste accepted the idea and spontaneously performed. The groundbreaking synchronized IRL and URL runway show engaged guests in Tommy Hilfiger’s creative hub while showcasing boundary-pushing collections and talent from all walks of life. The iconic Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker gave a special performance during the closing ceremony of the performance, playing an exclusive song while the city skyline was projected behind him.
Marni revealed earlier this summer that it would embark on a tour, with New York Fashion Week as its next destination. For the first time ever, Marni debuted in New York City this season, unveiling its line in a moody tunnel beneath the famous Manhattan Bridge. The historical arches provided a striking backdrop that created the mood for the forthcoming season, even though the secret bridge location may not have been many people’s first pick for a high-fashion show. Dev Hynes presented a dramatic composition with the assistance of the String Orchestra of Brooklyn to follow the models as they proceeded along the runway to display the latest collection. The fourth wall between the audience and the unreachable show was broken during a unique performance as creative director Francesco Risso acted as a cellist in the orchestra. Knitted shirts in vivid hues that were purposefully ratty and shrunken were worn by models with exaggerated, movement-focused pants as they went down the catwalk. Reflective surface sarongs and tops matched floor-length coats with huge patchwork and ombré polka-dot shirts, which reminded observers of the ’90s street mosaic art craze–materials with many textures were designed to add accents to the collection. The director of Marni, Risso, pushed forth his artistic sophistication of the collection with an intentionally mismatched and DIY approach.

“As consumers, we have so much power to change the world by just being careful in what we buy”
-Emma Watson
The fundamental focus of sustainability is protecting the natural resources of the earth and clothes that have been produced with consideration for the many environmental challenges the fashion industry struggles with. The use of recycled materials for textiles, the use of less water-intensive materials, and the production of high-quality, long-lasting products are a few examples of how companies can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. While the fast fashion business model carelessly produces carbon, sustainable fashion has a reduced carbon impact and actively aims to cut emissions. Brands seek to establish circular systems that make clothing totally recyclable after use, eliminating the need to produce virgin fibers, in order for the fashion industry to truly become greener. By using better materials, collaborating with factory partners that decrease and recycle the water used during production, and limiting the synthetic materials and chemicals that can be used in garments, sustainable fashion can conserve water. Due to the interconnection of the climate crisis, ecosystems, and humanity, sustainable fashion stresses the need for extensive change and a variety of solutions.
The fashion business is involved in the current trend of marketing oneself as a sustainable brand. Many companies have reacted by assuming a more eco-conscious image as a result of customers becoming more aware of the ways that big businesses contribute to the climate crisis. They may even use “greenwashing,” a marketing technique, in some instances to make things appear more environmentally friendly than they really are. Sustainable marketing is a strategy that enables companies to appropriately and straightforwardly market their environmentally and socially responsible goods, services, and brand image by leveraging their green credentials as a distinctive selling point. In this day and age companies have realized they won’t last in the long run if they don’t operate on eco-friendly values and must promote change to sell and survive.
Slow fashion is a movement that has proven to have benefits that go beyond just helping the environment. Offering decent working conditions and a living wage to those who work in their factories is a key component of a sustainable business plan for the fashion industry. Greener companies always make their products of the finest quality. Eco-friendly textiles are softer, more durable, and last a long time. You won’t need to purchase new clothes all the time if you wear sustainable clothing. It’s not about following trends and always being new in sustainable fashion. It involves making deliberate decisions about your wardrobe. Being able to break out from fast fashion’s cycle of trends and consumer habits allows you to design a wardrobe that may celebrate your uniqueness. Slow fashion lessens our own waste while also lowering customer desire for new products, which can minimize the overall amount of waste produced by the fashion industry.
Hearing my peer’s elevator pitch about child marriage caught me by surprise and intrigued me because it is a subject I am not very familiar with. There was discussion about how this year, around 15 million females will get married before turning 18 years old. As they will be wedded as children this year, they will have to go through their most traumatic childhood experiences. She used the middle picture above as her civic artifact and had a visual lens perspective on the issue at hand. The image itself provokes compassion from the viewer as they see how miserable the child bride is since she is in a situation she does not want to be in. Also, she talked about how white privilege was used to promote the campaign and draw more attention to the cause because usually when people of color are used for campaign images or videos it goes unacknowledged. Unicef’s campaign against child marriage was brought up for her context since the picture is Unicef’s. Unicef has released this campaign created with Bridal Musings to raise awareness of child marriage. Perhaps one of the most insightful campaigns by the most well-known wedding websites in the world.

With the use of ethos, she was able to prove her credibility as the speaker because of her background coming from her home country of Ethiopia. She was able to give a unique perspective on the topic and provide evidence reflected on Ethiopia’s cultural values and the traditions incorporated in their society. There then was a discussion on the movie Difret which tells the tale of Hirut, a 14-year-old girl, who killed her would-be husband as he and other people were engaging in one of the country’s oldest customs: abducted into marriage, and a young lawyer who journeys to her Ethiopian town to defend Hirut. I thought this was a perfect example considering the fact that she herself is from Ethiopia, but also because it shows how some cultures use child marriages to advance in society or escape poverty.

The negative effects of poverty on the world’s children include homelessness, poor nutrition, substandard housing, deficient child care, a lack of medical services, dangerous neighborhoods, and underfunded schools. For these reasons, I choose the image of this cardboard box filled with toys and the word “Donations” labeled on it as my Civic artifact. Without being disrespectful, it is a wholesome image that draws attention to itself in a positive, inviting way. With the use of pathos, the image evokes compassion from the viewer as it provides this heartwarming feeling, for example, seeing the adorable stuffed bunny in the center—makes the viewer want to donate. It also made me recall a time when I was in Colombia for my first communion instead of having presents given to me my family and I asked all the invitees to bring toys or money for donation. For this initiative, I was excited to contribute to the effort to help those that were underprivileged. When you travel from the US to a third-world country like Colombia, you encounter a level of cultural shock that is very difficult to explain to someone who has never experienced it.

I suggest finding out more about charitable organizations and taking action to bring about the change you wish to see in eradicating poverty worldwide.

The prevalence of anti-vaping advertisements commercials employs commonplaces and pathos to provoke emotion from the viewer on the subject. Organizations like The Real Cost have been raising awareness of the risks associated with vaping. These commercials show young adults going about their daily lives and show the negative effect that vaping has on these many activities and how it might alter a person’s life in a detrimental way. To get their audience to stop using vape products, they appeal to people’s emotions and the relatability of the situations that occur in their videos. Although it is already well accepted that vaping is unhealthy, advocates can have a more significant influence by utilizing real-life examples and catchy phrases such as, “Nicotine Addiction Isn’t Pretty” to convey their main ideas. Such analyses typically start by determining how much of the intended audience has been exposed to communications, if the audience recalls them, and whether the intended audience considers the messages to be of exceptional quality, aesthetically pleasing, or relevant. Furthermore, campaign evaluations also look at whether the intended audience’s views or opinions have changed as an outcome of the campaign. The Real Cost is able to inform this audience of what they already know by mainly targeting them in its commercials and advertisements.
https://youtu.be/8BdK_6cUng8
The movement’s success indicates how a thorough regulatory strategy that incorporates public education can lessen the cost of tobacco use in the public’s health care system. It is well known that media campaigns can effectively lower young adults’ vaping behaviors. Organized field trials and demographic studies have shown evidence that media efforts aimed at stopping vape use can alter public perceptions and lower the prevalence of vaping.
The effectiveness of “The Real Cost” shows that in order to accomplish their overarching aim to lessen the significant burden of vaping on public health, a robust regulatory strategy that incorporates public education about the dangers of vaping is necessary through the use of commonplaces.

“Fashion is more art than art is.”
—Andy Warhol
Fashion is one of the purest representations of art. Fashion design is the practice of incorporating design, aesthetics, garment construction, and elements of the world’s most beautiful things into clothes and accessories. The world of art is where designers most frequently find their inspiration. Fashion brands are known for paying homage to other craftsmen and artists through motifs and color schemes. There is no denying the connection between the two; they mutually inspire one another and contribute to one another’s growth. But, fashion is so much more than making a profit from a collection or appearing on a Vogue cover; it’s about experimenting to discover your true sense of self-expression and how one can be creative in their own when they put together their ideal outfit. Fashion was once not considered as highly as paintings, films, or sculptures, but opinions of fashion now and its other artistic endeavors have altered as it has been examined and developed a greater respect for it.
To understand the relationship, one only needs to consider the groundbreaking performer Marina Abramovi and the way she invites the audience to participate in her creation. Abramovi requested the audience to sit across from her in silence and look at each other for as long as they wished to look and be looked at in her show, The Artist is Present MoMa installation. The clothes designer produces works of art that require another person to complete them, just like Abramovi does with their performance art. Only when there is an actor to portray it can fashion exist. The wearer of the designed item is conversing with the crowd and the designer.
A representation of human creativity and communication is fashion. It contributes to the artistic expression of who we are as people and the experiences we have been through. People frequently make an effort to express themselves via their choice of attire and accessories. Your body is a canvas on which to paint your own unique expression using various colors and clothing designs; designers are painters who piece together outfits utilizing fabric and originality. By fusing many media to create these articles of clothing, people are more capable of transcending our lives and so establish a connection with the core and commonality of who we are. Art is influenced by the time period, cultures, and society, likewise, fashion has changed with time and place and is impacted by many trends and cultural elements–By reflecting developments in current culture, fashion is excellent at carrying out a traditional purpose of art. Both art and fashion reflect the history of the past and present-day by telling the story of the events that took place and impacted the artist to create their designs. A culture’s paintings may reveal just as much about it as the clothes and other items it employs for both individual and group expression. Admiration for fashion comes from the way it conveys the artistic expression of the designer.
