As a service-learning project, your life science class is planning a campus health screening day. Medical professionals will offer blood pressure checks, diabetes screening, and vaccinations. Your professor formed student teams to organize the event, and you were assigned to the event-promotion team.

The team wants to create an event slogan that will appear in marketing materials on social media and on printed flyers. During your first team meeting, one member says, "I think we need a message that scares people. Something like, 'Don't be a zombie! Dying young is no joke. Attend the Health Fair.' " Two other group members immediately voice support for the idea.

But you see it differently. Since high school, your mother has encouraged you to have an annual physical exam. One routine test showed that you had a heart abnormality that was easily treated. This experience makes you believe the slogan should emphasize the positive benefits of health screenings rather than relying on fear tactics.

Should you self-disclose your experience to persuade the team toward a slogan that emphasizes the benefits of regular health exams?
