Please review three items that accompany these questions – the NYT article about Nike, the Dry Idea

will require you to integrate information from the Chapter 7 readings. Please provide your answers to
the following questions in the Web Exercise submission area within this folder.
1. In periods of downturns in the economy (like the recent recession), many companies greatly
reduce their advertising and promotions budgets (think of the Nike article). However, this is

attention if they reduce their budget?

marketing purposes. Briefly discuss the various perspectives taken by these companies, and
explain why everyone may not agree on the same level of importance for media.

For this assignment, imagine that you are a public health professional tasked with convincing skeptical members of a community in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to get the Ebola vaccine during an Ebola outbreak. In this assignment, you will write an information sheet for members of the community. This information sheet would be handed out to all people attending health clinics in the DRC during an Ebola outbreak. Within this information sheet you should explain how Ebola is transmitted and prevention measures used to reduce risk of transmission (including vaccination), provide a simple and clear explanation of how vaccines work, the type of vaccine used in the rVSV-EBOV vaccine (also called Ervebo), why this vaccine cannot cause Ebola, the efficacy of the Ebola vaccine, and how getting the vaccine will help not only you – but other members of your community. Because this is a class assignment, I expect you to describe the Ebola vaccine in a clear way using relevant scientific terms and to define or explain any scientific terms that the patients may not be familiar with.
