Advertisements are increasing day by
day. They appear everywhere in our living environment, and spread out by TV,
radio, posters, newspapers, network, and etc. However, they have a disadvantage
that the author had warned us is that commercial contamination seems rubbishes
which bristle people’s brains with uncountable commercials according to the sentence
“Advertisements are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutants” in
the article “HYPE”. I strongly
agree with that because I feel it represents the significance that they
usually hide the truth (bad consequences) for inducing people to consume with
their products or services. Actually, most of the products or services people
purchased are different from the commercials had shown and described. There are
two experiences from me and my friend who had suffered the same problem.
Some of skin care products are useless, but
in their ads, they have been exaggerated. For instance, my friend, Elaine, who bought
many skin care brands after watched their ads from TV, such as Chanel, La
Prairie, DIOR, Lancôme, and Clinique. Those ads show that women’s skin are
getting better and look younger than before. Certainly, Elaine trusted them and
tried one by one. However, her skin still looked same as before. Finally, she
went to dermatologist to figure out which skin care products for her are valid,
and ignored to buy the any of skin care products from ads.
Unfortunately, I experienced the same problem
too. I watched several commercials of hair products which described how those shampoos
and conditions are efficient and fantastic. For example, their models’ hair are
no longer with dandruff, also they look bright and touch as smooth as silk
after used those products which are Pantene, Dove, Head & Shoulders, TRESemme,
and etc. Of course, the result is not the same as they showed on commercials
because I’ve never gotten rid of dandruff from my hair, and still dryness. From
now on, I’m never going to trust any of the promotions from commercials.
Obviously, advertisements are
trustless and footle on the basis of the experiences
above. They are irresponsible for the products which had promoted. To encourage
people to expend their money on the products by concealing the truth and
overstate the results are the selling method from the manufacturers. Although,
we are unable to prevent those ads’ arises, but we can choose to trust or not. I
think it’s the only way to avoid from wasting our money on the worthless
products.
