Hype

In this reading " Hype ", the author Kalle Lasn highlights the increase of advertisement and their impact on the population. The author states that advertisement are poisonous, so not beneficial to people. Also, according to him, we are surrounded by ads and cannot escape from them.
Even though ads are everywhere, I think that they can be beneficial to our economy and wellness.

Ads inform people of new products and how they have to be used which is very helpful because it allows people to make good choices or decisions. My experience at Mary Kay as a beauty consultant helped me a lot. I have a good knowledge of their products. I am getting used to being in contact with some women and advising them about products they could use for their face, skin, hands, feet. Now, I am confident talking in front of these women and giving them advises. Because of ads, I have improved my network and knowledge.

Ads help companies sell their products. And the more companies sell, the more their business increase so they can hire people. In other words, advertisement is a key when you just open a business. I remember, when my uncle opened a grocery store. At the beginning, he distributed flyers to people. He used media especially radio station to make people know about his business. By advertising his business, he increased his customers and gained their confidence.
Today, his store is one of the busiest grocery African market and he has already hired over 20 employees.
