WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT THE MEDIA ?

    LAST WEEKEND I WATCHED HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL THREE TIMES.  I NOTICED MANY PRODUCT PLACEMENTS IN IT. MANY DESIGNERS SUCH  PRADA, JIMMY CHAU, AND TIFFANY WERE ADVERTISED.  ALSO, OLD NAVY WAS MENTIONED SEVRAL TIMES. I THINK THAT  ADVERTISERS SUBTLEY TELL YOU ABOUT PRODUCTS TOMAKE YOU THINK THAT IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE THEM.

 

 

 

ARE YOU FREE OF MEDIA INFLUENCES ?

    I AM DEFINITLY NOT FREE OF MEDIA INFLUENCES.  I WILL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT I USUALY BUY NAME BRAND/DESIGNER CLOTHING. I WISH I COULD SAY I DON'T CARE ABOUT MEDIA, BUT I WOULD BE LYING.  ALSO, I WISH YOUR APPERANCE DIDN'T MATTER, BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE.  IF YOU WERE GOING TO AN INTERVIEW YOU WOULD TRY TO LOOK "WELL GROOMED". THAT IS ONE THE MANY EXAMPLES OF HOW WE ARE INFLUENCED BY THE MEDIA.

 

 

 

HOW CAN YOU BECOME FREE OF MEDIA ?

    I THINK THAT WE CANT TOTALY AVOID MEDIA, BUT WE CAN CONTROL HOW MUCH MEDIA WE SEE.  CUTTING BACK ON TV TIME CAN MAKE US LESS SUCEPTABLE TO THE MEDIA. ALSO, THERE ARE SOME ADDS THAT AREN'T TARGETED AT ME SO I JUST DONT LISTEN TO THEM. INTERNET EXPOSER ALSO HAS MANY ADVERTISMENTS, SO CUTTING BACK ON IT CAN HELP YOU BE MORE FREE OF MEDIA.
