Consuming Kids

Consuming Kids The video accusative Consuming Kids highlights the involve of media and advertising on the health and well-being of squirtren. de none has critically changed comparing from the past to today, as it penetrates nestlingren more than adults. Companies have discrete to deliver their advertisements to children due to their vulner up to(p) minds. The techniques companies use to attach a child with their advertisement is by using famous role models equipped with their product. This influences a child to grasp that product and evidently the same child becomes a consistent consumer in the marketing world.Not lonesome(prenominal) is advertisement publicized on TV but, also on the internet and cellular mobile devices, fashioning it harder for a parent to neglect its unwanted presence. Science is involved in this documentary as scientists use the blinking experiment to analyze the childs attention rate. Scientist have mentioned that advertisers use round figures throughout their commercial, as it has been found that children are attracted to this shape making it harder for them to neglect the purpose of the advertisement. This is however a small contribution of how advertising has used symbolism to aliment its function.Using symbolism within an advertisement is very clever because it not only portrays the signifi bottomce of the product but, portrays the positive lifestyle given when the product is purchased. epoch compression plays a huge role in the marketing scheme, as it provokes young kids to feel older, making the product more suitable for the jr. consumers. Advertisements affect a childrens mind negatively, as it can impact their vocabulary, cause them to lose their concentration span and eventually diagnose them with ADHD.In this documentary I was able to recognize and understand each and any(prenominal) side of how advertisements are abusing children. The media claims that parents are ultimately responsible for what their children watch , wear, and eat. I believe this is not true, because realistically a parent is unable to guard their child from advertisements every minute of the day. in that respect is a wishly chance that advertisement can be viewed at public locations like schools or daycares, making it harder to revolt your child from advertisements. From this point, only the government has the ability to control such advertisements.As a society we should embrace the conflict raised from the media and publicize the negative effects of a child watching advertisements. We should ban the usage of advertisements used in schools and daycares so, children are not affected by them. A letter concerning the snappy information about the documentary should be sent out to every family, so parents are aware of this cause. What shocked me the most, was the disturbing picture of the minor girl who claims shes trying to be sexy. This picture portrayed a young female child with her back pointing to the camera without a s hirt.As curtly as I recognized that, my point of view on advertisements harming children has changed enormously. There should be no reason for children to dress inappropriately in neo society. Yes, I feel like I have been affected by advertisements throughout my childhood. From a very young age of 6, I was behaving like the young boys shown in the documentary. Similar to them, I would also commit to military unit and aggressive materials, such as movies and video games. At the time, it felt pattern but now recognizing the effect of advertisement I am able to comprehend that I was under the influence of media.
