Hype blog 1

    


         Everyday advertisement plays a huge role in our lives. they can either be beneficial or impact us in a negative manner. Advertisements does not only persuades us to purchase products but it also makes us look at things in a different manner.  After watching an add or a commercial on TV, we are persuaded to go out and purchase the exact product at the store. Advertisement is making decision for us in our daily lives and the way we look at things.  

There are many examples that Kalle Lans speaks about in her passage regarding "HYPE".  When you're at the register in the pharmacy for example , you look at the front page magazine with your favorite movie star looking absolutely flawless with her outfit. You immediately think i must have the outfit for my next event, because i saw it in the magazine. When  Sprint came out with the S4 phone , all my friends were lined up at the store , just to be the first one to get it because it was different and better than the S3. Another example that i learned was about Nike sneakers. If you don't have a Nike sneaker, running would not be or feel the same. 

         There isn't anywhere  you go and you don't see an add or commercial of a product that encourages you to go out there and purchase it. Kale Lans is right , "No one is exempt and no one will be spared ". Everyone ideas are based on advertisements. Everyday we think what new product  will come out so we can purchase it. We have no time to think about ourselves and what we really want, because someone else did it already.
