Propaganda Techniques in Today's Advertising: McClintock

In this passage it talks about the evils of advertising. Yes, i agree that some advertising is bad but not all of it. Under the section name calling it says that foreign cars are called "imported" well, what else are they? they're foreign so they're not made here. It's not a good argument. Advertising has its perks for example local channels are good for local businesses and restaurants and what not. Where as national T.V is for bigger things like for example, Swiffer commercials and Target and Wal Mart because they're all over the United Stated. Advertising also has its downs. For example, trying to sell things to little kids that they don't really need like toys and those "magic markers". Some commercials even sell things using sex. they use a half naked woman to sell things like deodorant or maybe something like some kind of food. Not all advertising is evil. I remember in my Government class last year we had an entire two chapters on advertising and it taught me a lot and although some advertising might be racy, it's wrong to say ALL advertising is evil.
