It's for English in which we pick a topic and then argue our side for it, immediately I knew what I needed to do. I picked my topic as 'Should We Trust Government' and of course I'm arguing no for obvious reasons, and I have to use numerous types of media to get our point across (I had to make a meme pertaining to it, which I thought was pretty funny. I also have to create my own ad, make a song, and make a journal entry.) I'll link the meme I made in the comments, but I just wanted to get some ideas on what my ad should look like. I was thinking of a Big Brother-esque poster with surveillance cams pointing at the audience with the words, "You Shall Obey." Any Suggestions or thoughts?

It would be cleverer to illustrate the chilling effect by stating that we can trust the government but hinting that you're saying it under duress. What I'm trying to tell you is that treating the assignment like just a blog entry would be doing a disservice to your generation. Do some research and prove that the people in control (who aren't limited by national boundaries) are malevolent. Even if you can prove they cracked a few eggs to make omelettes, it can be argued that anything that challenges the world hegemon invites another world war and the ascendance of a new hegemon (like China) that's even more oppressive. If that's what the authority believes it's preventing, then divide and rule is actually more humane that allowing an unstable balance of power.
