PSA examples


This PSA was about pest's in your house. And the damage they can cause.
I think this PSA was interesting because people would never really realize how many pests could be in your house.
To be honest it's kind of disgusting. People should learn how to prevent these pest's from entering there homes.

Biking Rules PSA: Lead By Example! from erial tompkins on Vimeo.

This video is all about bike safety rules. It shows all the signals and hand gestures.

This video is good because it shows how important being safe while riding a bike is.

I think everyone should learn the safety rules of riding a bike, so not as many people get hurt while riding a bike.


"Save It" Global Warming message by 10 yr old from 1skycampaign on Vimeo.



"Save It" Global Warming message by 10 yr old from 1skycampaign on Vimeo.

This first PSA I found was about a ten year old boy who has been noticing how wasteful people have become.

in the video he shows someone pumping gas while his cars on. and also how pollution is so bad, and how factory's are a big part of global warming.

I think this video meant something to me because I agree with the little boy. People need to consider what they are doing and how wasteful there being.





This is another PSA about pest's in your house.
This shows what types of pest's there is out there
and what they can do.




This psa is about kids and adults getting shots to prevent the flu.
I think its a great idea. and everyone should get the shot. its important to stay healthy.

5-8 Amendments

Witness- A witness is someone who saw a crime, being committed.

Indict- Indict is accusing someone of a crime they didn't do.

Testify- To state a fact that is true under oath.

Grand Jury- The grand jury is a group of people who are in charge of finding out if there is enough evidence to have a fair trial.


Due Process- Treating all people equally according to the law

Capital Punishment- Penalty of death by the state

Do you believe that people accused of crimes deserve all of these rights or just some of them? Why or why not?

I believe in all of these rights except the Capital Punishment. But then again I don't think we even have that right anymore. People should not be killed for doing a crime. They should be put in jail, and who knows maybe they will change while they are in prison, and come out a better man or women.

2-4 Amendments


1. Describe one argument for and one argument against gun control. What is your opinion on the issue?


One argument about gun control is what weapons a person can have in his or her house. Every human being has the right to bare arms. It is not written in the constitution that people can only have a certain type of weapon. The only reason I can think of that would cause controversy is having too many weapons? Like certain weapons people in the war have used.?


2. Do you think it is fair to force people to open their homes to soldiers during wartime? Why or why not?


No I do not think it is fair. Its disrespectful, and I imagen it would be very uncomfortable for the person who lived there. If you are a person who thinks it would be fair for the soldiers to come in to peoples house, Think about how you would feel if a soldier randomly barged into your house and told you that they were staying in your house for awhile.


3. Describe a situation in which the police might be able to obtain a warrant to search a house or a building.


A situation where the police might be able to obtain a warrant to search you house could be if you we're neighbors with someone, and you we're hearing like gun shots and stuff at your neighbors house. If you called the police, they could get a warrant to search the neighbors house.
