Pros and Cons to Advertisement

      According to the author advertisements are toxic, like pollution. I have a different opinion. There are always pros and cons about advertisement. Being able to know what a business does for you or even to attend it's premises requires a company to advertise a business. In the passage it stated " Everyday an estimate 12 billion displays ads, 3 million radio commercials, and more than 200,000 TV commercials are dumped into north America's collective unconscious". Without these ads, radio commercials, and TV commercials how do you know where to go? or What they have to offer?. For instance I need a good deal on a car, How would i look for one with out advertisement?. If the author meant that we might have the opportunity to know our neighborhood well enough to just explore and find one instead of depending on advertisement all the time, then i would say he's wrong. Cities such as New York has so many businesses that its easy to fall into a trap.Advertisements help us move around better and help us decide on a better opportunity with a great company.
      However advertisement has it's definite cons. Displaying many different businesses causes false advertisements, scams, and unaware regret. As said " Anywhere your eyes can possibly come to rest is now a place that in corporate Americas view, can and ought to be filled with a logo or product message." A tighter system for advertisement should be made, if everywhere i lay my eyes i run into an ad, what makes me believe it's a safe product. Large companies such as Nissan, Honda, Toyota, etc. are known, which makes it a lot easier to believe in their Advertisements. When a person becomes unaware to a legitimate advertisement that's when it can become extremely unsafe to either the seller or the buyer. In the same way I'm looking for a great deal on a car, a cheap price can lead me to a scam. For instance I see a great deal on a car online went to purchase it from the dealer but instead got robbed for my money and ended up in a completely unfortunate situation. That's the reality everywhere you turn there might be un-honest person. We all need advertisements at the end of the day, it's just knowing how to choose the right one.
