Something that I enjoyed learning
in this class over the course of this semester was about advertising. It was
interesting to see how advertisements can be deceptive in different ways. I
learned about some common fallacies that happen during advertisements and also
how marketers use different tactics to get a consumer’s attention. This shows
us that advertisers analyze how society makes decisions about things and uses
that to get what they want. This helped me analyze the different ways that
advertisements may attract me, thus using that to decide whether or not I want
to purchase that item or do what it says, for example. I have also learned that
advertisers use celebrities to endorse certain products, causing people who
like the celebrity to be attracted to the products that they are advertising. I
have definitely been that person that bought something because it was attached
to a celebrity I liked. Now I know that the celebrity may not have even used it
before!
