Raven's Ride

Raven-Symone is one of the most well known and wealthiest celebrities to come up from being a child star. She has showcased her talents through many different facets – television, music, film, talk shows, etc. – and she hasn’t shown sign of stopping anytime soon. Raven-Symone Christina Pearman, born in Atlanta, Georgia, on December 10, 1985. In the early years of her career, Raven moved to New York and signed with Ford modeling Agency. She claimed in an interview with an  ET : Unfiltered segment that her parents were always asked if Raven was a doll. They claimed that she looked fake or too perfect, and that was enough motivation to put their daughter into the modeling world. From there, she got her first audition for the movie Ghost Dad featuring the legendary Bill Cosby , but she was passed up because she was only 3 years old at the time. A little later, Bill Cosby sought Raven-Symone out for her starring role as Olivia on The Cosby Show . This sequence of events is what ...

Stanford University

Educational institutions are one of the more traditional homes of public relations usage. It’s usually all-inclusive nature and motive for diversity creates a need for a universal appeal while keeping some aspects of what gives that school individuality. I feel like overall, there is a sort of standard or set of tactics that every university uses in some way to remain ethical and to give their target audience the information they are usually looking for. For example, most, if not all, university websites will promote their key staff or those accredited professionals who specialize in certain areas. These will be the professors that become the face or mouthpiece for the institutionalized departments. Also, universities tend to use near perfect or high-quality content to represent the products of certain courses. This is mostly for media opportunities or press releases, but it keeps the morale of authenticity and quality to use actual student work. To bridge the trust-gap between a b...

False Ad

Time and time again, I hear about various deceptions from companies and products old and new. But as we all know, as time has the privilege to progress, so will the complexity of persuasion. It is a common practice for brands and labels to push the limits of trust between themselves and the consumer. It isn’t ethical to persuade to the point of lies, but what is even worse is the power of the bandwagon. Bandwagon hype usually stems from the popularity of the product or the person/entity representing it. The bandwagon could be so influential to the point that quality is completely thrown out of the window, and the consumer will purchase and promote an idea simply because of the clout behind it. TruthInAdvertising (TINA.org) provided a warning to 5 different ad trends that consumers and investors should look for in our current year. The idea of cryptocurrency really boomed over the last couple of years, but just as any young concept should be partaken with caution, things like B...

What Can Trump THE Trump?

Our position as citizens with several freedoms should not be overlooked or compromised while bringing in a new national leader. Over the past 5 years our country has been brutally shocked, and beyond what the represented feel is under control, a consistent cycle of terror is exactly what our current President provides in an attempt to make us feel safe. So why are we threatened with a second term of uncomfortable shenanigans? President Donald J. Trump has successfully revived the identity of what used to be the majority by default, and he has unfortunately built a fortress impenetrable even by the obvious truth. The President has found himself in several situations that was either caused by his pertinacious outlook or completely unshakable in nature. You would think that taking such a grand step of leadership would cause one to tread lightly in action, but President Trump instead chooses to maneuver through his mistakes instead of around. Women have come a long way as far as s...
