CRITICAL THINKING W5 DISCUSS


2 complete paragraphs

 In this forum, talk a little about advertising and how it influences your life.  What is the kind of advertising that you most fall for?  Why do you think it is effective?  When are you aware of advertising’s affects on you and how do you respond?   “I do not fall for advertising” is not an option.  Think beyond television commercials.  Consider the last thing you bought at a store that you did not intend to buy and did not really need, or a website you visited because you saw an advertisement for it, or when you saw something that made you crave a specific type of food.  If you’re on Instagram or Facebook, this is something you encounter every time you log in. Ultimately, reflect on and discuss your relationship with advertising from television, to billboards, to store displays, to product placement in movies, to podcast ads, to social media ads, etc. Think about what specifically appeals to you, how you respond, and why you think you respond this way.
