RN # 10

I believe the theses in the stories are how to survive in the world of advertisement. In Mr. Ross Relletier story that I read he states the obvious about advertisement in the business world. It’s true that advertisement of a product plays a big role because if the advertisement doesn’t stand out then the consumer doesn’t want it. In our society today people always strive for who has what and whose car is nicer and what brand of cloths that person is wearing and so on. On the other hand Mr. Landesfahr also makes a few comments about advertisement. He says that every advertising agency in competing the same product and trying to win the most consumers.

There isn’t many different themes in the three stories, their mostly the same. The only difference is the men have different job titles in society and try to make a living out of what they do. They all advertise their products as the best and try to sell as much as they can to consumers. They pull people into buying their products by their catchy phrases.

I believe this whole competition is true in out society today. You see many advertisements for the same product just different companies. I always think like dam why can’t we just have one freaking thing and it can all be solved, it’s just as simple as that. Of course not, there just has to be 4958349 different toothpastes, shampoos, batteries, tampons, etc. This is just the way society functions; it’s all competition, who is better than who!?

1) How did this lead to being a competitive society?

2) What brands do you prefer and why?

3) Do you agree in the whole competition in advertising?

1) Different advertisement campaigns.

2) Advertisement in different countries.

3) What products do different ethnicities buy.

There are no words that I didn’t know or any ideas that are new to me. What I did find fascinating is how economy doesn’t change at all throughout history. I guess its true when people say history repeats itself.
