[tsl/leadership] Fireside Workshop: Smoke & Mirrors
http://www.holymeatballs.org/ 2008/ 05/ tslleadership_fireside_worksho_3.html
Brainstorming about and then deconstructing the ways alcohol and tobacco advertisements work in our society Last night we had our first Fireside Workshop for May, titled Smoke & Mirrors: A Look at Alcohol and Tobacco Marketing. The workshop was made up of very classic media literacy exercises. We spent time thinking specifically about the reasons that alcohol and tobacco use happen, what the negatives effects of use and abuse are, and the role that marketing plays in shaping a culture where these activities are accepted to large degrees, especially within youth culture.
