Group Discussion

For this group discussion, I had my whole family read my paper on the second assignment. I also told them my opinions on how advertisements affect our outlook on life and others.

Both my parents and my brother believed in what I said and what I wrote. They also agreed on my opinions. They believed that since we watched television and used the computer almost everyday of the week, commercials can be found everywhere. And by that, they said it can have a major impact in our lives through what we say and what we believe in as well.

As for my friend, he agreed me when it came to advertisements, but he believed that the company or association that we chose was not correct when it came to their argument towards poor and sick people. He believed that even though they may gain food from this organization, they would be able to manage. By believing that, he argued that the foundation isn't really helping the people but actually spoiling them to not get a job.

  1. Hey Christian! For this post I also chose assignment #2! And I had the people closest to me read it! First I must say that I did not look at an organization as "spoiling people to not get a job" until you said that your friend said so. Though this may be true in some cases, I don't think that it is that easy for everyone to just get a job. Especially for people in 3rd world countries. Most decent jobs nowadays require some type of education or knowledge. Many people in 3rd world countries will take anything they can get without knowing that they are being mistreated and so forth. My mom thought I did a great job on my paper and agreed with me as well! I defintely agree with you that ads make us feel a certain way. Anyway great job!
