How Does Advertising Affect us??

In my opinion advertising affects us in many ways! it controls how we act and what we say. By this i mean advertising basically tells us what to do with our lives. Advertising tells us many things everyday, when it being at school or at home. I do believe that there is too much advertising in many places. One of the most populer areas for advertising that affects most of us would have to be Television. In my opinio TV has otten out of hand with commercials and advertising. It almost controls us and even controls what we do while we watch TV. For example you could be watching a really good show on TV , but of course when a really good part comes into play a commercial hits and you are forced to watch it so you can watch the rest of your TV show. Another important area of advertising would have to be name brand clothing. We see this everyday in school, to "most people" your a certain label if you where certain clothes and you are only "cool" if you wear certain brand names. In my opinion this has gotten out of hand because the issue of advertising affects us when we cant look "cool" because some people cannot afford it. Some teens try there hardest just to by certain brands and most parents cannot sfford what is out there. This to me is rediculus because you shoud be able to go to school and not worry about what brand names you are wearing. It should not be a popularity contest where all you think about is what you wear and what brand you have. All in all advertising is getting out of hand and is making us not enjoy TV and is making us labels at school.
