Blog 3; Response to "Hype"

  In the passage "Hype", by Kalle Lasn, Kalle argues about the pollution of advertising. She complains about how advertisements are posted everywhere possible, and that there is nowhere to run. Throughout the passage, Kalle explains how advertisements introduced mentaly causes great effect on how people view advertising. A person who sees an advertisement on television, would want to buy the same advertisement being introduced everyday. I disagree with the passage, simply because that Kalle argues that commercial pollution is wrong, but how is there any other way to make tons of money?
     In life, it is not easy. In order to survive in life, depending on where you are from, we would need money. In order to have money, we must work. For some people in the world, one of their goals would be to achieve in having a large international business company. But like every person, in order to have a large business, you must start small. As for an example, a hair salon named "Michline de Paris." At fist, Michline started in a small business hair salon. After she begins to make money, she uses the money to create commercials. The more one sees a commercial on television, the more one would come to check the store out. Since then, Michline's hair salon business began to improve. At the same time, Michline opened another store, in Long Island. If it was not for commercial/ advertising that Michline used, her business would not have improved as much. My point in proving my statement is, life is compared to sharks. You would have to take care of your self in life, for if not, you would be eaten.
       Explictly in detail, the life of business isn't very easy. For example, almost every large company has a stock market. Stock markets usually rise and crash. The consequence of a crash would be a huge devestation. Basically, the reason why people have stock markets is another way of forming a huge business. For most companies, when a stock market crashes, the company does not really get affected, such as McDonald's. McDonald is a wealthy person, other than the middle class, that would take a huge damage. Again, we businesses need to survive and succeed in life. Life is not expected to be easy. It takes time and patience to achieve our goals. But in life, you would have to find every way possible to make money. Say if you want to sell advertisements in the future. Your fist thought, would, be "How to get there?". If there were no advertisement in this world, life for businesses would be a great challenge.
    If business where to find other ways to be successful other than adverting, it would be a great challenge for them. Kalle argues that advertising is wrong. But what about business? How would a business become successful internationally. There would only be one answer. 

Blog2; summary of "The Allegory of the Cave"

                The passage of "the Allegory of the Cave", is about generally two main characters; a teacher, and a student. The teacher is explaining to the student how people who once lived in the cave saw things as they were. For instance, the person can literally see the item, but can see the item passing by. By seeing the shadow of the item, the person assumes that is the item being presented. One of the people in the cave were free from exploring outside of the cave, and realized that what people inside the cave thought, were not as they seem. In the end, the person told others inside the cave about what is happening in the real world, but nobody believed him, or was unable to accept the fact that what others saw who lived in  the cave was not realistic.

summary of "Hype"

         The passage Kalle Lasn's "Hype", is about the polltion of commercials. Kalle Lasn argues about commercials, that is effects the mind of individuals. In other words, instead of individuals focusing on educational products, humans instead focus on commercials being introduced on television, on posters, billboards, subway stations, and any other place possible that introduces the product. The products are being advertised so many times and in many places, that education is greatly distanced from the human mind. Not that the human mind loses education completely, but the knowledge of the human mind is effected.

Blog 1 "Hype"

                           In daily life, advertisements are seen from every direction each day. Throughout advertising, many human minds were effected.The writer of the passage (Kalle Lasn. "Hype") argues about advertisement in America. Kalle Lasn quarrels about how advertising brainwashes human minds, in order to make billions of money. I agree with this statement briefly because in reality, businesses find every way to make money.
                           According to the passage, Kalle Lasn used the term, "commercial pollution". Throughout reading the passage, I realized in my point of view that commercial pollution is when millions of ads from around the world are posted in every place possible. As for an example, an advertisement would of appeared in a movie theatre, before the time of the film begins. An advertisement would have also appeared in posters, while sitting inside of a subway/train. I find Kalle Lasn's opinion of advertising significant, because it is the reality of advertising. I believe that advertising is another way of business. No matter how deadly or poisonous the item being advertised may be, companies use advertising as a specific mental communication, causing the individual mind to ponder about the product and think about buying it later.
                            During the passage, Kalle Lasn describes commercial pollution as a way of thinking. As for examlpe, she says how hearing, "Beethoven's Ninth Symphony play", was not as much as hearing, "that kid singing the Oscar Meyer wiener song." She explains how advertising brainwashes the mind.
