The following describes our previous posts:
Message #1: The first message is our two-sided messaged designed to appeal to Central Route Processing. We are stating that birth control is the right way to go to help prevent from pregnancy. We stated that some other people believe that abstinence is the best way, but we feel that abstinence is unrealistic in our society today. We added a picture of Jamie Lynn Spears who clearly has not obstained from sex.
Message #2: The second message is our simple message with distractors, including our animated Use Birth Control! glitter font! We also used glitter font to give other options besides the pill, but emphasizing the importance of using birth control. We also included a picture of a doctor, a smart individual who others will believe.
Message #3: Our third message is our fear-inducing message that incorporated the four steps discussed in class. It includes a picture that has a young girl, with text stating "Oh no, I'm Pregnant... and I don't want to be." The text included in the post describes the risk of negative events in your life, the likelihood that the negative event will occur if they don't adapt to the behavior, the likelihood that the negative event will not occur if they adopt the behavior, and the specific steps you can do to follow the behavior.

Be Aware!!
Nearly 1 million women under the age of 20 get pregnant each year, that means close to 2,800 teens get pregnant each day. So you're
not on Birth Control? This girl could easily be you. In today's world it is very unrealistic not to be on birth control. Today females have too much to work for, and can't afford to be stopped by unwanted pregnancy. If your dreaming of big career goals, school goals, or starting that perfect family with Prince Charming at the right and convenient time, then not being on birth control is not an option for you. Many pregnancies can be prevented by using different types of birth control, or different types used together for extra protection.
It is simple and easy to go to your doctor and talk about birth control. If you don't wish to talk to you doctor about it then go to a family planning center and find out the details. There are many places you can go to get birth control, this even includes going to your local Walmart and purchasing some condoms!
Use birth control, or else you will end up with unwanted pregnancy.

Your Wrong! Birth Control vs. Abstinence
Birth Control has helped prevent unwanted pregnancies for years. It is commonally used by women across the world. It is a revoluntary product that has created happy and enjoyable sex for couples everywhere. There is no need to worry about unexpected consequences!
Many, however, feel that obstaining from sex, using abstinence as their birth control is the best way to go. Using abstinence is allowing and preventing yourself from having any sexual intercourse or contact.
Ideally, this is not realistic! In our society, individuals are participating in sex at younger ages! Currently the average age for a women to get pregnant is 12-13 years old, which demonstrates how young females are enganging in intercourse! This age is still at the young teenage age and could provide difficulties in ones life. If individuals were to use birth control, there would be no problem!
Even take a look at Jamie Lynn Spears. She is currently 16 and pregnant confirming the idea that it is unrealistic for many to obstain from sexual intercourse.
It is simple to obtain your birth control today! Take the time and visit your local OB /GYN. Experts can help pick the best birth control for you! Just think of the great benefits of this simple pill!

Post Descriptions!
The following describes the most recent posts and the factors of persuasion used:
Message #1: The first post USE BIRTH CONTROL! represents the classical conditioning principles, including intensity and repetition. The classical conditioning explains that if a new stimulus is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that already produces a response in us, eventually the new stimulus will produce a similar response. We used the techniques intensity by bolding, adding size, changing the color and CAPITALIZING the key phrase USE BIRTH CONTROL! We repeated this saying, our use of repetition, to gain the full effect of the message.
Message #2: The second message, Enjoy your free time! represented a happy, attractive couple who currently uses birth control. We paired these things together to create a positive thing, the use of birth control. If this happy couple are enjoying their free time, so can everybody who uses birth control!
Message #3: The third message, Easy to Take, Ask this Girl! Demonstrates another classical conditioning pair. It represents the behavior we want people to do and something that they already like, like the attractive young girl in the picture. This girl is holding up a birth control pill packet influencing others to do the same! We thought that this picture aqcentuated the positive pairing to create the positive outcome.
Message #4: Our fourth message, A message from Julia Roberts, is demonstrating the use of credible communicators. She is a famous, attractive, trustworthy individual who has personally used birth control, making her an expert about using the pill. She is a good component for the basis of persuasion and many people are aware of her and her presence in Hollywood!
Message #5: Our fifth message, Doctor Advice, is another example of credible communicators. Advice from the personal doctor will allow readers to gain credible knowledge about the pill and how to obtain it. This doctor is also attractive and female, making other females more comfortable to reach out.
Message #6: Message six, Prevent it! talks about our Subliminal Message. These pictures would be shown and the messages in the post will be flashed in order to gain access to the readers unconscience mind. We feel that this will help get our message across!

Prevent It!
For a subliminal message we would use pictures like these, with women holding a pregnancy test who are worried about what the result would be. We would flash a message on this picture with a phrase like "Eliminate Worrying!", "Use Birth Control!", or "She Didn't Use Birth Control". This way when people see this image their unconcious mind will see that the person is worrying and is related with something that is not good.
Doctor Advice
The next time you make a trip to your OB/GYN, or whichever doctor you go to to discuss your female issues with, be sure to bring up birth control. Talking to your doctor about birth control can be a big help.
This doctor speaks to patients daily about birth control and what form is best for them. She also tells her patients about other ways being on birth control can help you, like regular, lighter periods! She encourages you to speak to your doctor about issues like this, and discuss many more benfits of using birth control. Any concerns you have about birth control can be brough up with her and other doctors, and your questions WILL be answered.
Doctors like this one strongly encourage women of all ages that are sexually active to be on a form of birth control. Do yourself a favor and talk to your doctor today.
A Message from Julia Roberts
Hi Everyone! This is Julia Roberts and I am speaking on behalf of birth control for Kelly & Kara's Blog. Birth Control has revolutionized our lives and has helped prevent many SDT's and unwanted pregnancies over the years.
I have taken birth control since my teenage years, and it has been very successful for me! It has helped me prevent pregnancy while still being able to become successful and star in films. I was not ready for a child and this small, easy accessible pill made it work for me.
I was able to have my relationship with my husband and not worry about any consequences that could occur when having sex. I enjoyed my childless days and my husband and I were able to build a relationship that didn't involve any worries. I highly recommend this pill for every female!
To obtain this pill, visit your local OB/GYN! It will be fast and painless! You can take it anytime, whatever is most convienant for you! I personally enjoyed taking it right when I woke up. It has like a habit that went along with brushing my teeth! I hope you all invest in taking the Birth Control pill. It was a success for me!

Worried everyone will know your taking birth control? And you don't want people knowing details about your sex life? No worries! Notice that this girl is on the pill. It is a tiny packet of pills that can easily be hidden. You can slip it in a drawer, your pocket book, or a backpack. All you have to do is excuse yourself at somepoint and simply take a pill. It's easy and convenient, and no one will notice! Or simply take it at night in the privacy of your own home as your slipping into your pajamas like this fellow birth control user!

The history of the Social Problem - Birth Control
Birth Control has had many developments in society, but there is a long history of different types of birth control. We will take a look back and see what common forms of birth control were used previous to our current society.
During the first half of the 20th century, contraceptives were not widely available to women. The Comstock Law of 1873 outlawed the distribution of information about birth control. The Comstock Law was particularly hard on poor women who had no means of obtaining medical advice or treatments from physicians.
In 200 A.D. Greek gynochologist Soranus said women were fertile during ovulation but thought ovulation occuured during menstruation. She suggested:
---Smearing olive oil, pomegrante pulp, ginger or tobacco juice around the vag
ina to kill the sperm.
---Drinking water that the blacksmiths used to cool hot metals.
---Jumping backward 7 times after intercourse to dislodge sperm.
In the early 20th century common birth control methods included: 
- Coitus Interruptus (withdrawing before ejaculation)
- Condoms (including one that resembled a small cap made of rubber developed by Charles Goodyear.
- The rhythm method.
- Early versions of the diaphragm made from gut (1920's) or polyethylene (1960's).
- Extended lactation.
- Abstinence
- Abortion
- Surgical Sterilization
During the first half of the 20th century, contraceptives were not widely available to women. The Comstock Law of 1873 outlawed the distribution of information about birth control. The Comstock Law was particularly hard on poor women who had no means of obtaining medical advice or treatments from physicians.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Margaret Sanger challenged The Comstock Law by disseminating birth control information and supplies. She wanted to make sure that women could get individual care and guard against misinformation.
In 1936, Samger and the National Committee for Federal Legislation on Birth Control won a judicial decision, United States vs. One Package. It exempted physicians from The Comstock Law restrictions on the disseminating of information on contraception.
By the 1960s, the birth control pill had been introduced.
In 1965, a Supreme Court Decision (Griswold vs. Connecticut) legalized birth control for married couples.
In 1967, family planning was included among the services provided to women receiving public assistance, allowing for women to space their children enabling them to take different jobs, opportunities, or educational opportunities.
In 1970, Title X of the Public Health Service Act authorized public funding for family planning services. By the century's end, the public remained divided over how much government funding should be involved in the funding of family planning services. This was fueled over the debate about abortion. At the end of th century, 1 and 5 women still depended on publicly funded sources for contraceptives and family planning.
Birth Control and Technology
Birth Control is a way to help females prevent unwanted pregnancy. Over the years there have been many different types of birth control. However, as time goes on our knowledge about the human body increasing and people are able to come up with bigger and better ways of how to prevent pregnancy. Because of technological advancements, we no longer have to rely on withdrawing before ejaculation, or condom use (although it is still highly recommended to use them to prevent disease!) So take a look at our more common forms of birth control and to what we have to day based on technological advances.
1.Abstinence: Obviously not very technological, but the safest and first form of birth control, if you don't give getting pregnant a chance, it clearly can't happen to you!

2. Condoms: A common and well known form of birth control. A condom is common us
ed by the male partner in preventing from pregnancy and does not allow the male seman into the females body if used correctly.

4. The Pill: F
emales can take a daily pill that puts hormones in their bodies. These hormones prevent the females from ovulating, and if a female doesn't ovulate and produce an egg, that egg can't be fertilized.

Hormone Injections: Females can get a monthly hormone injection through a shot. This shot prevents ovulation, like hormones in the pill does, preventing the female from being pregnant.
6. Plan B: Plan B is an emergency contraceptive that females can take within 72 hours after having unproctected sex, or the protection failed to serve it's purpose.
7. The Patch: The females sticks a patch to her, a new one everyweek. The patch also releases hormones into the females body and prevent ovulation. It is convenient because you don't have to remember your pill everyday.
8. Intrauterine Device (IUD): A T shaped instrument that is placed in the women's uterus that prevents the sperm from fertilizing. There are different forms of these, some working up to ten years.
9. Female Steralization (tubal ligation): A minor surgery that is permanant, it blocks the females fallopian tubes off, therefore not allowing sperm to reach the eggs.
10. Male Steralization (vasectomy): A sugery males get to block the tube that sperm travel through. This prevents the sperm from leaving the male, therefore pregnancy cannot happen.
