Pearl Harbor Address December 8th, 1941 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt attempted to incite action into a nation of troubled Americans after a sudden Japanese onslaught. In his address to congress given the day after the Japanese bombings was a request for a declaration of war upon Japan. Roosevelt created a speech that was dramatic, sufficient, and to the point therefore, understandable to the nation of worried Americans.

Advocacy is a means to an end or to address problems in another way that we aim to solve through programming strategies. What is Advocacy? A simple frequently used definition of advocacy is “to defend or promote a cause”(Mc Cormick, 1970; Panitch, 1974; Weissman, Epstein & Savage, 1983). Thus, advocacy is about making your views heard; it is a strategic series of actions designed to influence or persuade those who hold power to implement public policies and practices to bring about desired change that would benefit those with less political power and fewer economic resources (the affected group). Hepworth and Larsen (1986) developed a more useful definition of advocacy: The process of working with and/or on behalf of clients (1) to obtain services or resources for clients that would not otherwise be provided (2) to modify extant policies, procedures, or practice that adversely impact clients, or (3) to promote new legislations or policies that will result in the provision of needed resources or services.

Political culture is a reflection of the government, but also incorporates elements of history and tradition that may anticipate the current system.
Hence, for the remaining of this paper, we will be using advertisements, brands and other related theories to discuss the extent of which consumption of popular culture rest on individual choice and serve to emphasise individuality. We will first begin our discussion on the extent of which consumption of popular culture rest on individual choice. Advertisement is designed to sell goods, services and ideas to consumers (Benoit & Benoit, 2008). It does so by influencing attitude and lifestyle behaviours through ‘suggesting how we can best satisfy our inner urges and aspirations’ (Danesi, 2008). To better relate with consumers, advertisers often incorporate trends in the pop culture world, such as linguistic style
Political behavior can be defined as an influence or attempt to influence the administration of recognition and disservice.
