Blog 4: Revision of "Hype."

    Unfortunately advertisement takes huge place in our life.  However we can see how serious it is with the numbers in the passage. Of course advertising has good and bad effects on people .Especially it is very easy to see the bad or good effects of advertising on people in New York.
    There are millions of companies in  New York and maybe every hour or every minute we can see their competition on the TV, radio or on the internet. I definitely believe those competitions have good effects on  people. Because sometimes such competition brings us good discounts with the advertisement and makes people aware of new products available in markets. However it may be the best way to learn how to buy or find  the item that you want to purchase. For example two months ago I wanted to buy a computer from a store but it was too expensive for me. Afterward the same computer that I wanted to buy was on sale and this time there was $200 discount for the computer. It was a TV commercial.  
    On the other hand advertising can cause people damage as well as have a great benefits. Especially some of those advertising has endless damage on kids. And most of them are internet commercials. I strongly believe that those kind of advertisings distract the attention of kids and make them lazy. For instance i have recently read an article in a newspaper which was about damage of advertising on kids. It says kids in America are spending more time watching TV each year than they are spending in school.Because usually kids spent their time on the internet even though they have to do their homework.  
     However advertising plays very important role in society. Kids overlook positive side of commercial and usually concentrate on negative side. That is why kids tent to eat more fast food and start smoking or drinking alcohol at their young ages. In my opinion we have to take some measures to prevent damage of advertising on kids.For example already in Europe, there are some rules were regulated by governments  for those kind of advertising which have bad effect on kids. In addition families play a major roles in this situation. They have to enlighten their kids about the positive and negative of advertisings. But sometimes advertising can also targets entire family rather than just kids. In this case even parent takes their place in this loop and can not hep their kids.
    As a result, obviously we can see some bad and good effect of advertising on people in my body paragraph. Eventually damage of advertising might be more serious on people. It is very easy to prevent bad effect of advertising by law. It is going to be more  useful if we use those commercials on good way for people.
