Quote analysis

“Advertising is everywhere you look, whether it is in the newspaper you pick up daily or on that billboard you see while driving down the highway. Some people may say that they are not in fact influenced by the advertising that is thrown at them each day, and that they do not fall into it, but everyone does.”

Advertisement in fact is everywhere we look; it has become an essential part of our life and society. This instrument is crucial for publicity as by this method the consumers get to know information about the products, we can know easily what the product consist of, and why we should buy it. Also publicity let as easily compare products from different companies so we can buy the one we like the most. I think advertisement is an excellent method of communicating buyers with sellers and plays a strategic role in our consumerist economy.

Although advertisement is important for buying products, we cannot let it control our life style. This publicity method has slowly change its orientation, the commercial are imposing a way of life instead of making people buy their products. Publicity is showing what society thinks is the ideal citizen, privating as from our freedom of choosing how to live.

I think advertisement is important and very useful for our society only if it doesn’t impose a way of living and doesn’t make as “fall into it”.
