"Turn the Tv hunny"

Men's Men and Women's Woman 

Q. If women's are consider to be the desire of men's why don't they put the realistic women on advertising. Advertisement is such a  stereotype creation, that makes woman look weak and sensitive while men's are the owners of a women's choice. It's scary knowing that there's people who know what we want without even asking us. While we watch a game or a soap show a perfect commercial pops out to influence us to buy something we never ever desire for. Advertisers seem to quite willing to manipulate us with fantasies and exploit our anxieties.
C. Learning that theirs 4 different commercials that judge women's and men's makes me understand why people prefer specific things and what influences them to buy. For example on "Men's Men" and "Men's Woman" both commercial shows the empire of a mans desire "A Perfect Woman" a slim, tall, attractive woman that doesn't care her status to man.While on "Women's women" and "Women's Man" it shows  how a woman wishes her man to be. One thing they do share in common is the appearance. All of four want the perfect model or the perfect man. You would never see a fat belly man do a commercial or a short, medium size woman do a commercial with an attractive man. My point is that appreciate would always be the main cause why people want things. Just because an attractive man has a fancy car a regular man would make him get a girl. Or a beautiful woman get all mans, would influence all women's to buy the product because they can get their dream guy. I believe advertising should be a little more realistic and show the actual meaning of "Women's and Men's" but then again nobody would buy things anymore.

Is it True.

 "Brought to you B(u)y"

Q. If advertising is considered to be bad influence for humanity, why are we surrounded all over the place? Television is "The New Way" to impact  Americans to a better future, a different way to see our world and to be satisfied on things we don't need, so why do we keep grumbling about our life's? Not only we complain about our jobs but also make fun of each other. It’s abhorrent how we laugh of each other miserableness to feel better for each other. At the end we desire to have superior jobs like the ones we see on television but deep inside we know that it's just a fantasy that advertising makes us believe.   C. While reading this chapter it made me realizes that people think deeper into their thoughts. For example I never believe while watching "The Office" I was creating an excuse to make fun of others miserableness. Honestly I’m not a huge fan of this show; I never had a bad experience while working at a corporate job. I believe it’s childish to make fun of each other’s gloom. I also believe television needs to stop showing things that aren't happening in real life that's why we have books to fantasy. Over this entire chapter it made me realize that not everyone thinks the same way, while we enjoy others sorrow lives, we don't think that others are going through the same thing that’s why all we can do is cheer them up hoping one day they would have a better day.
