The Powerful Ads







This video really makes me think deeply about advertisements and their effects on our society. Companies put a lot of effort and money on ads every year because they need those ads to catch our attention and convince us to buy.

Ads are everywhere in our life, and it is crazy to think about how many ads you have looked at in the past. The quantity of ads is so huge that we are no longer bothered by them; when we see an ad, we will either ignore it or be persuaded by it.

Just like the video points out, ads are not going to be 100 percent truthful, and they are always glorifying their products, since the main purpose of an ad is to get you to buy the product. Not only are ads not trustful, but also are they sometimes incorporating stereotypes and negative messages. And since ads are so common, we really need to think about what negative influences are ads bringing to our society.
