“Culture is the place and space where a society tells stories
about itself, where values are articulated and expressed,
where notions of good and evil, of morality and value, are
defined. Every society has a cultural field that talks about
these things. In our culture it is the stories of advertising
that dominate the cultural field. Advertising, in fact, is the
main storyteller of our society” Sut Jhally
Advertising says that material values are important to people. But to most people social values are more important than material values. They show us material values, and want us to think that through material values we would get happier and have the social values. Like perfume, advertisers want us to buy it and we would get our social values. My opinion on advertising is that it’s stupid. Because they will do everything they can just to get our attention. And if they got our attention that we buy the product than it’s not even as good as displayed.

I agree with advertisers doing anything possible just to get our attention. Sometimes it just gets on your nerves even though the ad is good, but stuffing it down our throats is what is annoying.
