Advertising

        Since I entered high school, it was my number one goal to decide what I wanted to major in in college. I procrastinated upon my goal for a few years and I finally decided to direct the course of my life toward marketing. So, obviously advertising is one of my main focuses at this particular moment. Over the past few weeks in English we’ve been discussing the reduction of women’s status due to the media along with racism, and children’s exposure to corrupt material. Aside of advertisements that suggest offensive, racial, and degrading material I love the idea of marketing products. It’s really exiting to possibly have the opportunity to help create and distribute commercials and ads throughout the public one day. Advertising has really evolved over the years from simple newspaper flyers, to the amusing Anheuser commercials that we are exposed to almost every time we turn on the television. It has undoubtedly became a lot bigger issue than it was in the past, focusing on unsuitable material and manipulating decisions. I’m nervous, but at the same time overly content with the opportunity I may have one day to promote the new ideas and unique plans that the marketing field has in store.
