Thoughts on Study Task 5

I've actually really struggled with this task. I feel that I have a lot of options but have been finding it difficult to narrow them down and come up with a specific question for my essay. 

I've noted down ideas and tried to brainstorm the ways in which they could form a question that I would find interesting to research. Looking at the topics of satire, political correctness, censorship, how easily we are offended, consumerism, advertising...










I think I got to a point where I felt I was going round in circles, so I reflected back on my essay. I want to stick to the topic of satirising consumerism; maybe looking in more depth at the linguistic and visual devices used in advertising? This could lead to me producing an interesting body of work reflecting the persuasive techniques in a sarcastic and humorous way. I am still not sure how to turn this into a specific question though.
