How Advertising Informs to Our Benefit

I never really thought much about advertising. Advertising really was just out there and sure I learn from it, but never have I really ceased to think about them. I think that it is a good idea that advertiser are partnering up with health cares. This lets us know what is out there and how to prevent or in other words get onto the right track. However, like what we discussed in class, advertising does leave out lots of important facts. Such as eating too many fibers can help prevent cancer but can also lead to other things when consumed too much.
The class discusses really opened my eyes to things I have not really took to consider, such as when brand states that so many “doctors recommended” their products. Today lesson really much shown me how narrow-minded I was. I guess in the future I have to be more open minded as to what advertising is trying to put out there in front of me. As for what we discussed in class about ‘Proactive’, the product do not work. Been there done that. After using the product for some two to three weeks my face did not get any result other then made my skin so dry that it hurts and not to mention when trying to put on lotions my face stain like no other. I am currently trying out another product called ‘Bio-oil’, I have heard a lot of good things about it even though it is not known by all through out America like Proactive, or maybe even known at all. So, yes, I have had my share of falling for advertisement.
