The goal of advertising is to create the yearning for the product or service. This is how you create demand and that is fair for the advertisers. But are we swept by it all the time? I, and the people around me that I know, do not immediately fancy a BMW when we see the ad. However an ad of the a "all new", "fresh" toothpaste - well, may be I pick it up the next time. I don't recall anyone getting depressed when that's not available in store.<br /><br />"Looking at ads and movies as a way of cultural education is dangerous"<br />"We want love. We trust the mass media to tell us how to become lovable." - It is difficult to believe that people (except the ignorants?) ask of the ads and movies to tell them about tradition, and trust the mass media to tell them what is right. <br /><br />I have high regards for your ideas and thoughts, but the above do not really qualify for generalisation.<br /><br />Prashanth Khttp://prakarma.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037385.post-2733994373524521462013-10-14T07:00:02.357+05:302013-10-14T07:00:02.357+05:30Very well saidVery well saidRidhimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794596156803394501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037385.post-13906012843293933692013-10-06T13:24:21.390+05:302013-10-06T13:24:21.390+05:30What I find interesting about Harman is his commit...What I find interesting about Harman is his commitment to finding what is meaningful and what brings happiness, and his commitment to alerting us to the dangers of mass market mentality and consumerism. But my question is this: Is his job only to point out what is wrong with the world, or does he also demonstrate his love and concern for the world by being in his friendships a devoted and loving friend?
