Most Interesting Thing Thus Far

     The most interesting thing I have found in this class was the discussions we had about advertising and the examining of the advertisement. Advertising is very interesting to me as it has a lot to do with human psychology. I enjoyed learning about what makes an advertisement appealing to certain groups. The viewing of the blatently sexist ads made me realize just how extreme some people will get to make a point about their product. The video we watched about the selling of facial renewal products in third world countries opened my eyes to how evil some coorporations can be, as they sell something that is dangerous and known to cause problems; something that is illegal, to unsuspecting people who would rather pay for a false sense of "beauty" imposed by the media, than food for their families. So far this class has been a real eye-opener to the way that advertising works. It has been very intriguing to me.
