Quote analysis

In this entry I will analyse the following quote:

“Advertising is everywhere you look, whether it is in the newspaper you pick up daily or on that billboard you see while driving down the highway. Some people may say that they are not in fact influenced by the advertising that is thrown at them each day, and that they do not fall into it, but everyone does.”


This quote is a very important observation of how advertisement works, it is always trying to catch your attention, leaving you ta message, from convincing to buy a Coca-Cola to political advertisement. That fact combined with globalization, makes advertisement a very powerful weapon for convincing people, even those who claim that they are not influenced by Advertising. The question in my opinion is why we can`t leave free from the influence of advertisement? I think it is because we, humans, are social in the sense that we interact with the evironment and with our own kind everyday, everytime, we can`t live islate. This makes every human responsive and sensible to the evironment, in this case to mass media that is everywhere we turn around to look.

In according to last paragraph, we can and we should conclude that even those who claim to be "smarter" and not to be affect in their decisions my advertising are just lying to themselves because media is part of our actual evironmment and we are sensible to it in a conscious or unconscious way.

Adds leave an image and a message to costumers and people in general, whether to promote or to convince no to buy or do something, and that message get to our minds and we then make a positive or negative response to the add, so media actually affects and influence everyone because we are humans, we are sensible to our evironmment and to the different product that are being showed in adds.
