cool ads

in the movie we watched in class, we saw how advertising agencies attempted to make their ads cool and appealing to kids and teens.  while this practice may seem good, the way it is carried out is extremely bad.  the way teens see something is extremely over exaggerated and teens are used as props to draw in others.
we shouldn't be having tons of fake people acting as if something is actually good, as it just makes it so much more difficult to understand the truth and see it for what it is.  we have to realize that when a company tries to promote their product, that it isn't always genuine.
the way these companies make ads cool is extremely terrible.  as i went over earlier, there are "looks" and "midriffs" who are all bad influences.  not only this, but those who become a part of these advertising techniques feel extremely pressured to act in a certain way as they get money for what they're doing.
people act differently simply to fit in, and we can't allow for this to continue happening.  companies need to stop luring us in with all these fake ads.  we definitely don't need all these products being sold, yet companies always will sell it t us.  they need to look at it from our perspective, as someone who is being tricked and forced into buying something that we don't really need.
i doubt that the CEO of a company would want their son or daughter acting in the way they broadcast someone should act.  they are being extremely hypocritical in saying that we should be acting this way while they would never consider it to actually be good.
while it is ok for a company to make an ad, it needs to be done in a more truthful way that isn't as harmful to teens and kids

Reflection

looking back at all of my media blogs, I think that as a whole they really helped to learn more about media and ads and how they affect us.  Sure, we wrote mainly about what we learned in class, but writing about the topics in my own way really helped to bring the information in and truly understand it.  I think that the project really helps to better understand what we learn in class.  While we can study the concepts and maybe talk about them with someone else, actually writing about it and applying it to something that appeals to us is what allows for the information to be truly driven home. Reflecting on my writing, I think that i could have done a better job.  I think that maybe tying to apply the concepts to more real life situations would really help, along with following a better plan while wrtiting. I think that if I had followed more of an outline for my blogs rather than writing more randonkly would have really helped to improve both the fluency of the wr...
