1 Project 2 Early Draft Questions Depression Treatment 1. Name the stakeholder organization whose two images you have decided to analyze for this project. What do they do or stand for? Cite the stakeholder's mission statement, website “About” page, or other source in your answer. The stakeholder organization that I chose is Healthline. Healthline is an American organization that cares about people’s lives and provides helpful health information from about all the topics that include health such as Depression. Its goal is to teach the people how they can live a better life. Healthline mission statement is “Healthline’s mission is to be your most trusted ally in your pursuit of health and well-being. We’re committed to bringing you authoritative, approachable, and actionable content that inspires and guides you toward the best possible health outcomes for you and your family. The reality is that funding from our advertisers allows us to cover more conditions and provide more powerful experiences, including video, animations and input from a range of experts. Be assured that we’re absolutely inflexible about our editorial autonomy. Other than input about broad topic areas, we never allow sponsors to influence the content we create.” “About Healthline.Com.” Healthline, Healthline Media, Nov. 2015, www.healthline.com/health/about-us. 2. Look at both of your images. What is their purpose or goal? Explain what the images ask the audience to do, feel, or understand. Explain what the images are trying to accomplish. 2 https://www.healthline.com/health/depression/staying-awake-surprisingly-effective-waytreat-depression#1 The first image of a lady with arms raised in a happy mood, hanging off a wall clock aims to depict that depriving people sleep would actually work as a medicinal way of keeping depression away. The image wants the audience to understand that staying awake is a way that could be used to treat depression. The tablets in the diagram point out to the whole initiative being a treatment method. In the second image, chronotherapy, is depicted as a method of treating depression that would be an alternative to the many antidepressant drugs that are taken. The image in a way also shows that the idea of chronotherapy is to keep people awake for longer due to the clocks depicted on the cylindrical, tablet like shapes. Especially considering that most patients of depression would easily take another option besides the many drugs they take, this is an encouraging option that the image portrays as worth trying. 3. Think about your images in terms of ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos. Identify elements of each rhetorical appeal in both of your images. Image 1 Ethos: The organization is run by healthcare professionals thus it would not be a challenge to trust the image they use. In addition the tablets in the image demonstrate that a medicinal effect is sought by the method being proposed. Pathos: Emotions are used to convince that waking up will feel good. In this case for depression, staying awake for long is a positive thing. The illustration of joy counts as being convincing. 3 Logos: Contrary to expectation, reason is from the image demonstrates that waking up can be positive for depression patients after all. As a matter of fact, the more patients are awake, the better for treating depression and they remain joyful. Kairos: A sense of one can be happy again and all is needed is staying awake feels appealing enough for patients to try as soon as possible. This is considering that most people are always seeking to be happy. Image 2 Ethos: As we seek to take drugs to feel better, chronotherapy is demonstrated in the image as worth being trusted like drugs to have a therapeutic effect. Pathos: The emotion are appealed in a way that not most people would like to take lots of drugs and chronotherapy offers a viable substitute. Logos: Reason is demonstrated in the image such that it would be a relief for patients if they used the therapy instead of the many antidepressant drugs. Kairos: Here the audience using the numerous drugs as antidepressants will feel the urgency to try chronotherapy as an option for treating depression. 4. Explain how the two images you have chosen support the goals or values of their stakeholder organization. Your answer should be at least 200 words. 4 The bottom line of Healthline organization is to ensure care for their clients. They need to not only feel safe, but also promote proper healthcare that would ensure their wellbeing. This what the two images first try to portray. In the first image, where the lady appears happy with her hands raised, a demonstration of joy is portrayed. The organization demonstrates that it is such a feeling that it wishes for their clients based on the information they try to pass across. Under depression, most patients are often in a somber mood. However, there is reason to be happy after all, with the information presented forth by the organization and by using the image they do their best to pass across the message. In the second image, promoting happiness is sought by the image as not most people will prefer to take the many drugs required for antidepressant. In addition, the organization aims at ensuring people live a better life. From both the images, in order to live better lives, it is demonstrated that it requires a simple change of normal routine such as waking up longer and reducing the consumption of drugs by opting for chronotherapy. If one can stay awake and remain joyful, this would not be nothing less of a better life. Also considering that this is a way of keeping depression away is a plus that is sought for by the organization in patients. At the end of the day, the images in a way demonstrate that individuals need to take action and be inspired to have better health outcomes for themselves. They carry the power to inspire in line to the goals of the organization. There is a demonstration that people deserve better in their lives and have options to make that choice. Away from the numerous drugs that are used to treat depression, simpler ways such as deprivation of sleep count as a potentially effective way to treat depression in patients. 5 5.
