BLOG# 1 :

According to Kalle Lasp advertisements are shown everywhere you go, not only visibly but we hear them as well. In my opinion "Ads' are made to make the viewer consume more of they're product.

These adevertisements are just looking for a way to make people spend they're money. Anywhere you go you'll find any kind of "ad" around and its not only located in gas stations, fast food restaurants but in schools as well and that's a way to make kids spend their allowance on unnecessary things. In my opinion I don't think its right for kids to be around "ads' all the time especially if its a junk food ad or a candy ad, that's making kids grow up with health complications.There are some advertisements which are very useful but these are very rare to see.

When you see an advertisement in a store the first thing you think is if you need it and moments later you realize you have it in your hands without realizing its just a skeem from companies to sell their products.For example my friends son had seen a toy on display  and this toy was no where to be found, the child was crying hysterically and screaming in the store, his mother drove everywhere to find it and at last she did. Not only this had an impact towards her sons mood but towards the mother as well because she just wanted to please his behavior.

Most of these ads have a message to show but other's don't and for this reason I do not think 'ads' should be up everywhere. Things keep changing as the years go by and I honestly don't think they're were so many companies advertising as there is today. As the author states everyday there are more ads adding up into our sights from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep. People haven't realized the absurdity of this and some unfortunately don't even care. Ads are not only affecting the adults but the kids as well. Ads should be cut down a little more so that way people can spend less money on unnecessary things.

In conclusion ads are not to motivating towards society, its just creating things to get worst not only in America but in the world as well. With ads all around us it just makes everyone "hype" and we don't see how much these are affecting us. Something should be done about this, if not things can just get worst.
