commercial outline

Funny Pepsi Comercial
Young boy travels to a monastery, and is taken in. He is trained and becomes one of them. Finally one day he passes all the tests, and every monk opens a Pepsi, and they drink. He gains the symbol of their group by smashing the can with his forehead. This is an effective commercial because it appeals to humor... and thirst. It implies that after a hard task, the best way to celebrate is by opening a can and knockin' it back. It also implies that Pepsi is something that should be held in high regards because a group of people have devoted their lives to it.

Trade companies have to be careful when trading in different countries because invasive species that may come over with the items tend to destroy local ecosystems. Although, not all species that hitch a ride can be classified as an invasive species.

Potential Topic!!























I was thinking about writing the issues paper on international trade. I might focus on how some invasive species (plant, insect, or animal) have taken over the native species in certain countries. This is certainly bad for the native ecosystems. These events would not have happened without globalization.
