agree or disagree

I agree with that statement. I agree with that because if there was not any TV to watch children would not be in the house all the time watching television or playing video games. Kids would be outside more and exerting more energy then they do now. Also if we unplugged all the TV sets in America then there would be no distractions for the children from doing their homework and studying. They would put more time and effort into their school work because there would be less distractions. When I was in elementary school there would be this contest and all the kids in the school would have to unplug their TVs for a week. Once I turned my TV off for a week i played outside more with my friends, was not always laying around, and I put more effort into my homework. This happened with all the kids that participated in the contest. So I do agree that if we unplug all the televisions in America that children would go outside and play more, be healthier, and more educated.

power of advertisement

I feel that advertisement is very powerful. When ads have famous people in them such as singers, actors, actresses, and athletes people are drawn to that product because since the famous person uses it they want to also. Also when ads target a certain gender, race, or age group they grab their attention by using stuff that interests them. For women the advertise pretty and fit women to sell products and for women to want to lose weight. Products can definitely get sold by the way they advertise the product. They have to get things that will grab peoples attention and that with interest the age group, race, or gender they are targeting.
