Media 4

Advertising is clearly not something that can be ignored. When watching your favorite show there is commercials in between that get stuck in our minds. When they create a catchy slogan and you hear a million times it becomes very difficult to not know what the slogan is for. That catchy jingle is the thing that advertisers love to get stuck in our heads. No matter where you run we are all surrounded by advertising and yes, we are all affected by it.

In class we did an activity to see how well we recognized slogans that we see on t.v or hear on the radio. Many of these slogans were recognizable because of how popular they are and the multiple times that they have been heard. The songs that go with them and the cute animals that go with them make them so appealing and even harder to not remember. When advertisers are creating there jingle they are defiantly planning to get the jingle stuck in our minds and they try there hardest to make sure that they succeed. It wasn't very difficult to figure out what the slogans were for because they have official been engraved into my mind. If they made school a commercial then it would probably be easier to remember and I might do better on tests.

It would be very difficult to live your life without commercials having an effect on you. Some people think that they are not influenced by commercials but the truth is that there is no way around is and everyone is stuck with it. The only way to not be affected by commercials is to live in a box and no one voluntarily wants to do that. Therefore we are all going to have to survive with commercials and continue to get those catchy tunes in our minds.
