The World of Advertising

I don't really pay much attention to advertisements. They try to get you to think certain things and want certain items. When I was in eighth grade we did an advertising unit in English class we learned about tricks the media plays and how a lot of the advertisements you see are not completely true. When I watch television or listen to the radio many advertisements get stuck in my head. In order for people to remember items or a businesses name advertisers come up with catchy jingles and sayings. They always get stuck in my head. One thing I learned about advertisers is that they use cartoon characters to get kids interested in a product. One example is Joe camel an advertisment for cigarattes
