Revise Diagnostic Essay
Advertisements are seen everywhere all the time,
whether were watching television or passing through the mall. We can be walking
down the street and people hand us pamphlets trying to advertise their products
and services. Many of us may get frustrated from all the ads broadcasting on
every aspect of our day. In the article “ Hype” by Katie Lasn, Kate talks about
the frustration people get due to advertisements. In my opinion advertisements
should be limited and the companies who advertise their products should have
limits on how much advertising they can do.
In the article “Hype” by Lasn, Lasn talks about
the frustrations of consistent advertising. She comments on how no matter where
you go billboards of commercials are seen. She states that upto the fact of
when you go to put some gas into a car we are bombarded with advertisements.
Since advertisements lead to frustration they
maybe a source of harm. Advertisement of negative products such as chips, candy
and soda attract many children and make these children want to purchase these
products. By purchasing such products children and adults have a higher chance
of getting diseases like obesity.
Advertisements are also a way our time can be
wasted as each advertisement we watch on TV is minutes long. When we intend to
watch the super bowl, soaps or even the news, many commercials play between the
breaks consuming a lot of time. This then becomes another source of anger.
In conclusion, the increase
in advertisements has made our lives very disturbed. I agree with Lasn on the
fact that no matter where we go advertisements are seen everywhere. Whether we
are at home or in public transit, there are advertisements everywhere! Hence,
there is no way to escape from advertisements.
