First Half Of The Semester

Advertising is huge to today's culture. We see advertisements everyday on billboards, Internet, in the media, etc. it is not long before one thing can become a huge thing. What is popular today may not be tomorrow. Things change and new things come out. Our lives change we don't even notice it happening. Some of us learn and accustom our live by what we see around us and advertisement plays a huge roll in that change. 
Marlboro Man is the guy that advertises for cigarettes. He is popular for his advertising. In his commercials he was always adventurous and full of energy and that made us who are viewing
think by smoking Marlboro cigarettes we will feel the same. It doesn't show the negative aspects or harms that it would cause. Advertisement can make us think something is good for us or will make us change in a way that will make us happy and that is not always true. Advertisements are meant to sell, but we can't always believe what we see.

    I agree with you. I also see that in advertising, they just show the positives and never the consequences.

    I agree that the world is always changing. If advertising is bad now, I wonder what it will be in a few years? Marlboro Man is popular yet promoting something that can kill you, totally agree, does not make sense.

    I agree that advertisement does not show the negative sides to things because they want people to buy their product. If advertising showed more negative sides, I think that less and less people would buy that product which can be good and bad.

    I agree completely. Advertising is always changing and it changes so often that we do not always realize that its happening.
