What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?
A PSA is an announcement that is intended to educate a group of people so that they can lead better lives. They are constantly being used by local governments to address problems in a community in an effective way. A few marquis examples of a PSA are the campaigns against drunk driving and driving without seat belts. In those commercials, a driver is depicted do something that they aren't supposed to be doing, so they get arrested or get into a crash. PSAs like those have caused a dramatic decline in the amount of people who speed, drink and drive, text while driving, smoke, and do drugs.
