The Most Effective Mode of Advocacy

Of all the Modes of Advocacy which one do you think is the most effective? I would have to say Political Advocacy would be the “most” effective. Meaning if you could only use one mode I would use this one. In order to actually make a change though, I feel like you have to use every mode at your disposal. The reason I believe this is the most effective is because you are dealing with the people who ultimately vote and pass bills that we have to go by. Notifying the public about certain environmental issues that are going on in the world lets people know of our current issues. However, it doesn’t necessarily get us anywhere. A lot of people might not like things that are currently happening in our world but they usually don’t go about trying to change it. I hear a lot of people complain about issues on our campus such as selling bottled water in our SAC. But how many of these people try to do anything to change that? There are a few such as those who belong in the Constructional Activists Club but that only makes up a small percentage. The best way to go about changing something is to communicate with the higher power that can actually make a change while still trying all the other modes of advocacy. And lastly don’t give up because making changes are not at all easy to do. We can make a difference, but in the corporate world we live in today, it doesn’t come about easy.

On a bit of a different note, here is a video you might find interesting. It's a SNL skit that was only aired once on TV.
