What is the role of family and education in changing this reality?
What is the role of family and education in changing this reality?
1- TV is very empowering, parents should be careful and teach their children that they are being brainwashed by media ads.
ReplyDelete2- Advertising (marketing if you prefer to cover the mind games) is a well-known psychotic world that invests hundreds of millions of dollars into professional psychiatrists to literally take-over the ‘mind’ and drags it into 'buying' beyond the individuals’ desires, needs, budget, etc.
3- The different marketing corporations are out there to corrupt the kids' minds and turn them into zombies so that they get stick to them.
Younger children are unable to rationally decide if the ads they are exposed to are true or what kind of longer term effects they have, and parents are often uninformed of these effects as well, so how can we expect them to take full responsibility when the whole system is designed for bringing in profits at all costs?
Why is that kids are not taught at schools about this?
I enjoyed at most the part in which it’s explained the tricky way markets use to catch kids’ attention in order to sell their products?
