Dr.
Antonia Novello uses cause-and-effect inductive reasoning in a very effective
manner. First, she took the statistics and results from the effects that
Camel and Joe Camel advertisements had on children and teenagers in 1988. She
saw that more children were consuming tobacco, so she used that cause to create
a more positive effect. She went on and created a few things to help solve the
problems. First she worked more with education to help make sure children
learned the negative effects of alcohol. Secondly she worked on banning tobacco
advertisements that would appeal to a younger generation. The cause was that
Camel was making advertisements that appealed to children, and the effect was
that the rates of children smoking were rising. She used this reasoning to
create a positive change in the way that advertisements were created.

ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of analyzing this this specific article. Dr. Novello's use of the statistical analysis, I believe, was the best direction to take when solving this issue. The tobacco's company approach in advertising their product may be seen as a disservice to the general community, which Dr. Novello seems to have believed. In her approach, through educating children about the negative effects of tobacco use, she was able to allow children to think critically themselves about lifestyle choices and how certain choices have rewards and consequences. Your examination of Dr. Novello's inductive reasoning included a good breakdown of the cause and effect factors.
