Blog 2 "Hype" second draft

                 In the article"Hype"Lasn states that advertisement are the most current and poisonous for our brain. The article shows us that our brain floods everyday with a lot of commercials. They are  everywhere  we see those and they try to influence us.At the end Lasn compare them like a sing a song.I agree with the article that advertisement are poisonous and part of our lives and they try to influence us every day in different way.
              
         To begin with advertisement are everywhere and keep us informed . That is true. Everywhere I go I see different advertisements. Everyday we are bombarded with commercials and we can found those everywhere.As the Lasn mentions such as schools, buses, billboards, stadiums, TV gas nozzle, bank, classrooms  and three thousands marketing messages per day  .It' s true advertisement are everywhere with a large number and inform us; first about new products such as food, snacks, drinks, cosmetics etc, second about services such as transportation, internet, TV, cards,  communication and third about events such as movies, parties, Olympic games etc.Advertisement not only are are a message for people and inform them, but also they want to reach new costumers, to make a lot of sales and to make a lot of money to maintain the company.I remember when I came to New York 5 years ago.I didn't speak English at all. I was on the bus and there was a commercial about English classes "Zoni Language Center"in Flushing.I started to learn English there .This commercial helped me a lot, because of that I learned English and now am studying in College.Not only does this commercial informs international students about where they can learn English ,but it is also a successful business and strong learning center everywhere such as in Flushing, Manhattan, Miami, Vancouver. The more advertisements we see ,more information we get and more we learn.                    

            Even though advertisements can give to us a lot of information those can become harmful. The problem is that we allow advertisements to have access to our brain and we accept most of them without thinking. Sometimes people spend a lot of money for products which are fake. Most of the people believe what they are showing. In spite of some unclear meaning unfortunately we cannot live without advertisements. Advertisements attract not only adults but also children.As they watch a lot of advertisements in their classrooms about Pepsi and Snickers they start to think that they can have everything they want as a result increase in children emotional problems and obesity.Imagine a kid who every day  beg her mom to give a dollar to buy snack or drink at school. This bad habit can lead to her overweight and she cannot stop it. Lasn is right when says "There in no where to run. No one is exempt and no one will be spared." It's true no matter where we are , there are a lot of advertisements which will try to influence us and there is no way to stop them. We get used to advertisements.                      
           In conclusion I want to emphasize again that advertisements are everywhere and those influence on peoples' lives  in positive and negative way.People should think careful about advertisements and use them for their benefits.
