dirty bathrooms

                Germs are all over dirty public restroom. These germs could cause sicknesses from the common cold to more serious diseases such as STDs. While searching diseases that are caused by public restrooms, I learned a lot and put it on our webpage to inform people so they could take action and start cleaning up after themselves. This online journal was very helpful http://www.askmen.com/sports/health_60/68_mens_health.html. Reading about the different germs and diseases had me cringing the whole time because of how disgusted I was. The diseases part of our website is a source of pathos and ethos because the facts about diseases make people feel disgusted. Our diseases page also has a very effective picture.

                The first thing I noticed from this website that we got information that caught my attention right away and had me cringing was this picture. The picture was taken at a public restroom. There is graffiti and stains all over the restroom. I would rather pee myself then ever have to use a restroom that looks like this. I cannot even imagine the different types of germs and viruses that are in this bathroom. We included this picture on our website on the diseases page so our viewers could see how disgusting public restrooms could be. I believe pictures are a very important aspect to websites because a lot people rather get a message out of a picture than have to read paragraphs of our information. We had a discussion in class a few weeks ago about how pictures are very effective and how people can see different points from looking at a picture in different ways. The angle that this picture is shot at makes it more effective because of how the sink is front and it looks darker than the back of the photo where most of the action is.
