Five freedoms in First Amendment:1. Religion2. Speech3. Press4. Assembly5. Petition
The first amendment does not regulate the behavior of private schools. However, state law or school policy could provide legal protections....Tinker Standard - Supreme court case that recognizes that the first amendment protects on-campus student speech. Neither students nor teachers "shed their constitutional rights of freedom of expression or speech at the schoolhouse gate"
The Fraser Standard - He gives a ten minute speech containing all sexual inuendos. He gets suspended. He sews for the freedom of speech. Goes all the way to the supreme court. he loses. Because school officials have an "intrerest in teaching students the boundaries of socially appropiate behavior".
The Hazelwood Standard - School newspaper with articles about teen pregnancy, devorce, teen marrage. The u.s supreme court rules that schools have the right to censor issues if they think that it goes against the teaching of the schools. The ruling was related to teaching concerns. In the mind of teaching, consorship can occur if it goes against what is being taught.
The Fredrick Standard - Students make a sign that says obsene things and it goes on t.v. They are not on school grounds, and principle comes over, takes the sign, and suspends them. They rule for the school, because it was a school activity.
Libel: Publication of a false statement of fact that seriously harms someone's reputation

Voices of all ages and abilities rang out on Friday as the first Voices of Hope took place. Eastview's Women’s Chorale came up with the idea as a means of using their talent to battle cancer. Together they worked to fill the Performing Arts Center with both singers and members of the community from 8 in the morning until 12 that night. Performances were made by everyone from Eastview's most gifted singers to world language students who mumbled their way through their Spanish and Japanese songs.
Eastview’s Women’s Chorale vocalist Olivia Erickson stated, “The event was so meaningful to the Women’s Chorale because all of us are in some way connected to someone with cancer.”
It was the impact of watching their friends or members of their families fight to beat cancer, and even more so the pain of watching some lose, that inspired these girls to fight against cancer in their own way; through their voices.
The event was planned with the idea of only raising money for Hannah Skalbeck's mom who is currently fighting against cancer. In doing so, cancer awareness was brought not only to Eastview, but the entirety of the community. Middle schools performed along with Eastview alumni, including students who are now pursuing careers in the performing arts. Professional singers from around the state also attended and performed at the event. The audience was filled with students during the school day, and the community at night.
In the end Voices of Hope had the effect of bringing together the community for a day while also raising money and awareness.

Notes

Five freedoms provided for in the First Amendment: Assembly, Petition,Press, Religion and Speech. There are limits on these rights, however.Public schools, because they are funded by taxpayer money, cannotunjustly violate these rights. The Tinker v. Des Moines IndependentCommunity School District (1969) established that free speech andprotest was protected on the campuses of public schools. Bethel SchoolDistrict v. Fraser (1986) sets boundaries barring lewd or indecentspeech from protection under the precedent from Tinker. HazelwoodSchool District v. Kuhlmeier (1988) significantly reduces the level ofFirst Amendment protection provided to most media at public highschools if the media contradicts teaching concerns. However, thisruling did not apply to 'public forum' student media. The case ofMorse v. Frederick (2007) expanded jurisdiction of schools toschool-related field trips and vacations. The Tinker standard does notprotect unlawful speech or speech that may incite riots. Outside ofschool property, students may use any form of free speech within thelimit of the law without fear of retribution. Emmett v. Kent SchoolDistrict allows students to say whatever they want on the internet.Libel is publication of a false, defaming statement.

The Sobe Life Water commercial was a good commercial especially for the Super Bowl because there were football players in it. The commercial was funny, and the product was always in sight. They also showed how Sobe transformed the drinker, both in there dancing abilities, and they had a visual effects transformation as well. The intended audience was people who would recognize the players

The Justin Timberlake commercial was good because it feature faces that people know, including some of the cast from SNL. The product was kept in sight, and the viewer probably would pay attention because the commercial was funny but did not make sense until the end. The target audience was most likely teens and young adults.

The Vizio commercial was accurately ranked 50. It was not funny, and did not capture my attention at all. Instead it was a list of reasons to own a Vizio. While the attention was focused solely on the product, a joke or some sort of plot line would have made the commercial more memorable. The target audience was not clear but it was probably adults, and maybe more so young adults because they focused on how inexpensive they are

The Pepsi commercial rated 8 was a good commercial not so much because of its humor, as how it showed that Pepsi is timeless. There was humorous parts to the commercial, but it was more so focused on how Pepsi is timeless even though nothing else is. The commercial was aimed at a general audience, both young and old and both genders

The Doritos commercial where the man has super powers was ranked 5th. It was relatively funny commercial, and was ranked 5th becasue of that. The Doritos company did a good job of advertising because the product was always in sight so the viewer would remember the product and associate it with the commercial once it was over. Doritos was also paralleled with money and luck, while there absence led to a bus accident. The audience for this commercial probably appealed to a wide range of people, but was focused on young adults.
