Dashawn Lewis Professor Robert English 1101 5, Oct, 2015 Ads and personal values I just discovered that i dont know anything about todays society.This of course came as a shock. I had thought that i was an informed citizen but i now know otherwise. this enlightenment came at great cost in time,and effort. the time was spent in watching television for for hour. The effort was to not lose my mind for unlike any other hour of tv, this time i was forced to actually watch the commercials. the values that tv presents seem to be present their own version of morality and values. thier idea of morality might not coincide with ours, but it does sell their products. Wait, i just learned that if i buy my girlfriend an anniversary band she will know that i love her. But of course the band is a few thousand dollars. oh wait, easy financing is a valuable. Damn i missed the small print that flashed for two seconds on the bottom of the screen. Oh well it must not have been important. wont my gf love me even if i cant afford to buy her this bracelet? i wonder if this is going to leave an impression on anyone with an anniversary coming up? could that be the intention? If i want to enjoy work i had better listen to the 99.1 jams and for lunch i can run out to arbys for 99 cent roast beef sandwiches,but only for a limited time. And if those sandwiches get me sick i can go to Osco and get some medicine twenty-four hours a day. All of these ads just came rapid fire. Is this playing upon my need for instant gratification? are the advertisers trying to get me to hurry? I have to go see a jeep dealer so i can outrun a bull in heat, but i better be carefull if i get it too dirty the pigs will fall in love with it. wow is that a nice jeep, but what is the price anyway? And is it practical to own a vehicle that can go anywhere on or off the road? i dont really need a car that can drive up the side of a mountain. But if a jeep isnt my ticket then buick has the car for me. its fast and responsive, just the car to get me to arbys for the 99 cent special. Here again i missed the small print. i wonder why they flash it so fast? what is in that print anyway? oh, if i get hungry i can go to I Hop, for a breakfast special. Guaranteed in ten minutes or it free. Now that a deal!! And guess what? Here it is again a repeat. i really had better go get that bracelet for my gf. and the buick must be really a good car for these people on tv to like is so well. And what is it with the Micheal Jordan hanes boxer anyway? i cant seem to figure out what it will do for me. Oh well i suppose if i wait they will tell me. i wonder what happened during my upbringing to leave me so deficient? is there anything that i can do to change this inability to make my own decision? Here it is for a very cool price i can buy the car that i need. it will get me where i want to go. And the females will stick to it like it was a magnet. Wow i need this car, I sure am glad they let me in on the secret. Of course i need over twenty thousand dollars to get it. But the women..And is this car the only way i can pick up females or is my charming personality enough? Oh well least my can get me to school. And how would i pay for this vehicle? It would be a huge drain on my finances, But that is not something they stated in the ad. Do i really need this car anyway? Will do all the things that implied in the ad? Today society as presented in this hour of commercials seem to be one of instant gratification,and
