Today, advertising plays a very important role in our society. It is everywhere, wherever you go its shoved into your face. Sometimes it can be useful, however, most of the time advertising is just harmful and takes away from our individualism. Advertising is a huge distraction from the important facts. It tells you that you need to be a rich, young, good looking guy who drives and expensive car and owns a huge house. Something you'll never see an advertisement say is something like, “Work hard so that you can provided for your family and if your not living in a huge house with a sports car then your not providing for your family”. You normally see something like, “Here is the newest HD TV. If you buy this giant TV you will be happy and your family will like you better if you buy it”. Yeah thats great…Then you can sit on your fatt lazy rear end while your wife goes to work to put food on the table. Our society is Backwards. Advertising is turning us into brainless robots who do whatever we are told to do and buy whatever we are told to buy. We need to fight against this and start to turn our society around. We need a society that puts the man on a pedestal that works 9 to 5 just to be able to send his kids to school and to pay his rent. Thats the society we need.
I love this post! You make very good points and I love the little bit of humor you used as well! I agree that a "blue collar" worker should be idolized more than someone who doesn't work as hard, yet still makes more money and posses more luxeries.
ReplyDeleteWell said. Hard work should come with a greater paycheck--not necessarily to buy more stuff, but to recognize that working hard is just as important as say, being a celebrity, in our culture...maybe...someday?
