Do you think public service announcements are beneficial? Why or Why not? 

          I believe that public service announcements are beneficial. While they obviously don't have the money backing the advertisements like the advertisements by companies, people know that the purpose of the advertisement is to inform. Also the bias is not to sell a product but rather to improve the general welfare and welbeing of the individual viewer and society as a whole. Most people know that and that allows the advertisement to resonant stronger with the audience because they are not as wary of being lied to or tricked.
