Advertisement

A: Hey! There are always so many advertisements on TV. Why?

B: Because it will seriously influence people’s desire.

A: Really? I think that much information on TV is actually very often misinformation.

B: Yes, but it will confuse our sense of reality. Ads are used for commercial purpose.
    About 90% people watch TV everyday. What a great opportunity to introduce their
    products.

A: I know. Nowadays, lots of ads are expressed by ideology values. It’s not a
    person’s praise something up on TV, but “show” or “sell” some idea to consumers.

B: That’s right. What’s more, ads can makes us feel dissatisfied with our imperfect
    lives. So we may buy something we actually don’t need, even that is we can’t
    afford it.

A: Well, we talked a lot of disadvantages of ads. In fact, interesting ads can make
    you laugh and add spice to life.

B: Serious ads can tell you some concepts to correct your wrong spiritual values.

A: As the ads are so important, film makers should put a premium on creating
    meaningful ads then consumers can enjoy their watching time.

B: So, do you understand that why there are so many ads now?

A: Well, I sued to think I just buy what I like, but now I realize that it is ads to
    influence me what to buy. It’s power of influence is stronger than I can imagine!
