Considering the Social Organization

I think writing critically about a specific social organization was a very useful exercise. It helped me actually be critical about specific organizations instead of simply assuming what they do. For example, because I had to go out of my way to critically examine things I would normally not think twice about - advertisements, claims, beliefs of the organization, etc. I could see what kind of fallacies they employed in their writing and what appeals they would use to get people to pay attention, and how they used celebrity endorsements as well. So overall, I thought the assignment was very useful, because I learned to look more critically when any organization makes a vague claim or when they employ some sort of fallacy in their reasoning, or even try to use an appeal to emotion in order to get money from people (in the case of something like a charity, anyway)
