Commercialism Activity

Children remeber alot of what they see on T.V. and ad's are one of those thing especially ad's directed to them like toys,games,and clothes. This may sound bad but with the children buying these things it helps the economy grow. It teaches them hopw to be a smart consumer and if they see an ad is bad they probably won't buy that item.

Children are easily influenced, and this can be taken advantage of in the commercial industry. Thy have the desire to fit in and do what is considered “cool”. Many people believe that people use this desire to their own benefit in order to create profit. While it’s true children are easily manipulated by commercials, these commercials and be beneficial to the child's development. Commercials can be used to bring good ideas and good life skills to children that will lead them to being a successful adults. Commercials aimed at children are ethical because they can reinforce positive behaviors and good ideals. This is shown through articles, press and reports.

The program that I viewed was Kids Junior Chopped on Food Network. It is considered to be American reality based cooking television game show that has junior kids competing for an end prize. In the short little breaks that are given for commercials to be shown, there was over 6 different commercials and they all happened one right after the other. I have never been really fully conscious as to how quick and short commercials really are, but after viewing this 30 minute show it was brought to my attention that commercials can’t be too long because they need to be able to hold your attention and in the short span of time it needs to be something that will catch a viewer’s eye. Although, often times there are commercials that we just want to end

In a 65-year span, an average American spends around nine years watching television including 975 days of watching just commercials that is two million ads altogether. Parent are wondering what most of those commercials are regarding too? They are mostly businesses that are targeting kids to eat fast food or influence their parents to buy a product like a toy. Parents think that they can just turn off the T.V.? Yes, folks are correct they can shut down the T.V., but there are way more advertisements than just commercials so many that it is hard for even ad savvy parents to keep it away from their children. Marketers will try anything to get the kid to buy their products, or they will put a logo on everything that they can. How do they target

The commercial has a couple scenes of the daughter as a teenager. In all the scenes prior to that, the daughter always gratefully accepted her dad’s origami swans. As a teenager she practically ignores her father in the scenes, but he is still always there for her. This gave the author a sense of realistic credibility. It’s rare to find a father with a perfect relationship with their teen aged daughter. The viewers were able to recognize that and relate to their own personal experience (“Rhetorical Analysis: Extra Gum And Orbit Commercial”). It gave more belief in the commercial that the events are

Commercials have changed their length in a beneficial way over the past 50 years. In 1950’s the Coca-Cola commercial was over a minute long and throughout the video was boring and too long to overall keep the audiences attention. This same pattern continues throughout the 1960’s however in the 1970’s there was a significant change where the commercial was only 30 seconds long. These shorter commercials continued up until today and the reason for that is simply, attention. When the commercial is long and dragged out too long you lose the

It’s no secret to the advertising industry that children are drawn to anything colorful, exciting or marketed as the next big thing. Commercials that are often stimulating and show other children having fun is a quick way to bring in an audience. What child wouldn’t want to eat a rainbow cereal that has you and your friends chase cartoon leprechauns? If we marketed fruit salad the same way we did with Lucky Charms, it’s extremely likely that children would still have the same reaction. Anything that’s advertising a good time is something that children will want. An example of this would be the Halo tangerine company. In the Halo commercials, they advertise similar to a candy would: showing kids having fun while eating their product. By the

The commercials displays a typical childhood. You see a child learning how to ride a bike through a suburban neighborhood, a child sitting on the bus and is caught off guard when a girl kisses him on the cheek. The mood changes when it gives you the image of many accidents that could have taken place leading to a child's death.

Commercials that seduce children are many, but not all of them are aimed at children. For example, in some of the Coca-Cola commercials that are shown in warm climates, there is a hot weather and a person who is discomfortable with the heat is shown drinking a cold bottle of Coca-Cola. Then the camera zooms in and shows how Coca-Cola not only quenched their thirst, but also freshened them up. Here, the aim is associating hot weather with Coca-Cola. If people think about drinking a cold bottle of Coca-Cola in a hot Summer day, then the commercial has achieved success.

I saw this ad while watching ‘Chicago Fire’ on NBC. During the television show, there was a total of 6 commercial breaks during the show and this ad was played twice. The total amount of time spent on advertisements was three minutes and forty-five seconds. I feel that this is an appropriate amount of time spent on advertisements, although I could live without them.

The consumers are put into work by giving the kids a chance to be on the commercials. Because companies need kids to stay online and click, like, and tweet about the products. This way the product generates

Hello, I am a high school student writing with a concern about you all commercial time decision makings. I was watching the popular singing competition with my younger siblings, ages seven and twelve, when a very inappropriate lingerie ad commercial appeared. I feel this commercial is inappropriate for that particular time of the day due to the fact that this particular television program has a viewing audience that contains a large number of children and adolescences. I feel that when it is time to prepare the schedule for commercials, the time the commercial is aired and which program is playing at the moment are two major factors that need to be considered. If the lingerie ad was aired during a football game or other sport events, the audience

As a parent I personally hate advertisements. Every time a commercial comes on for the new hip toy my kids think they have to have it, but I understand that they do that so that they can market their product. Mission Accomplished! Every time I get on Facebook, every time I lose at one of the games on my phone , even when I log into my childs school website there they are. The marketing companies have gotten so good they use your recent page visits to advertise to you through your social media accounts. Crazy! I do however, think that some advertisements like, abc mouse and things to that sort definitely could be great resources for children, therefore I support them. If I saw an advertisement for McDonalds or dunkin doughnuts then I don’t agree.

Advertising today focuses on specific targeted demographic groups. There is a direct focus on marketing products to young consumers. This age group sees the commercials, but does not really understand the directed message. This can have an adverse effect on the way children interpret and understand the message being presented to them. 'The average American child sees more than 40,000 commercials a year, and advertisers spend more than $12 billion annually marketing to them?double the amount of 10 years ago.' (APA-1) Children watching television are exposed to every channel running commercials that are sending out a mature message to an immature audience. There needs to be something done to

Commercial Breaks Commercials have become an integral part of television programs these days. We don’t find any channel or show without being interrupted by commercials. This is most likely because commercials are the very means of financing a show or program. Programs are even designed keeping in mind the time being allotted to commercials. People at various ages seem to have various reactions to commercials. At times kids enjoy commercial showing cartoons or any other baby products, but showing a commercial during cartoons really annoys them. In the same way programs that are targeting adults, serious shows that indulge the audience, interruption by a commercial break is not welcomed at all. In fact if one picks up an ongoing soap opera, which shows an hour-long episode, each week is usually composed of fifty minutes of the show and ten to fifteen minutes of commercials. Baywatch is a very popular television series being shown on star world these days. Since this is its repeat telecast it is shown in the afternoon rather then in prime time. I seem to enjoy the show to a very extent because it is composed of exotic scenes, drama and cool stunts. Yes, Baywatch is one of my favorite shows on television. I haven’t missed a single episode even when this show was shown on prime time. I would leave all my work and sit in front of the television at 9:00pm. I wouldn’t even allow my dad to watch the prime time news of CNN at that time. Well those old days passed and now Baywatch
