The Girl Effect.
A) The media used is a youtube video

B) The issue highlighted in this video is focused on poverty. It also focuses on a method of improving poverty by focusing on a girl , a girl who is not well educated and a way to change that. It shows that many women in poverty don't get to make their own choices for themselves. They have many things to worry about as soon as they turn 12. This video focuses on how a girl is an important key of helping the number of  people  in poverty to lower.

C) First the video clip starts off saying " the world is a mess " which i think captures the viewers attention. Shortly after is says " what else is new?". It makes you think for a quick second how used to hearing everything about poverty and war doesn't effect us that much anymore but the fact is that it should. It is terrible that we think that way and not even do anything about it and think " I'm glad I'm not that person", but there are people out there who do care and want to help. The creator of this video certainly captured my attention. In the video it asks, " what if there was an unexpected solution? " I would of never thought it would of been a girl . That simple. This video shows how simple it could be. To start with young girls to get them motivated to help their family , village , country, and maybe even the world.

D) This video targets the audience of many people. I know for a fact that it captured my attention and made me think. There are people that have watched this who will actually make a difference to go and help with this " solution ". A solution that seems so simple, and that probably is.

E) This video shows many worlds that are made into images of words that make the video interesting. It places all these bold words and puts them together so you are still reading but in an exciting way. If this video was just a plain paragraph , it wouldn't grab peoples attention. This video has emotional appeal when the words" imagine her in poverty" pop up on the screen. The words are very bold in the video which i think are powerful images.

F) This is a great and effective way to get the message of poverty across because it is modern. Putting it on youtube in a video was a great way to get across to many people over the Internet and youth. This video was also put together in a way that I want to watch the whole entire video.
