Reflection for 9/5/11


When you are creating an argument weather it is for a paper or simply to ask your mom if you are allowed to go to the movies with your friends, a lot of thought goes into your approach whether you do it consciously or not.   Your brain thinks up the stated that is most likely to get you exactly what you want.  Therefore, commercials, advertisements, and other everyday objects are approaching you in the best way that they think you will buy their product.  Also, they might use a strategy in which they mask the truth and only give you part of the facts.  Looking further into products, candidates, and agencies is a smart idea before you invest in them because they might not be exactly as they were advertised on the TV or in a magazine.  The same is true for images.  After reading these sections, I began to look more closely at advertisements and pictures in the paper and in pamphlets, and soon realized that pictures can display whatever it is the photographer or editor wants them to.  Therefore, make sure to question the real situation-taking place before trusting the picture in the newspaper sent in by the relief squad.
