CoP Lecture: Advertising

To start of I'd like to say that for this lecture I wasn't actually there because I was in Bradford attending a festival called BAF which was about animations.

The Advertising lecture was all about how we as people could  class it as prostitution, and how we perceive advertising all together. We occasionally consider advertising as a tool for capitalism to switch views and opinions in society, but it can also be used as a tool to view are opinions in what we want and what we need. Advertising has become successful in many peoples opinions because it's literally everywhere for example on benches, billboards, cars, busses, buildings, posters, TV, and the internet so you can't really get away from adverts.

Advertising can also be a good thing because it can inspire people to do something like help charities, and people in need. As well advertising can shape popular culture for example the cola ads because its driven by advertising and when we think of cola we also think of the colour red because cola is associated with santa to help bring people together at christmas time.
