Advertisements specifically shown on television have been a major influence on viewers’ opinion and preference. It became a powerful tool for products and even for people like the politicians who wants to reach out to the public. Television commercials are made simple yet it leaves an enormous mark on peoples mind. Take the example of a commonly used product like Colgate or Pampers, a customer would go to a store and ask for “Colgate na Close Up”. It is simply because advertisement manipulates human understanding that caused them to the erroneous comprehension of the things around them. And so upon reading the article I realized that as a consumer we should be more aware and attentive to the advertisement so that it will not manipulate, deceive, and not make us more dependent on the products which are not necessary in our day to day living. It also reminds us to be critical so that we will not be easily convinced by the advertisement for we are all duty bound of the things that we do in our life.
