Alcohol is such a hot topic for advertising because advertisers know that a lot of people like to drink. Advertising is a way to let people see all the new types of alcohol that is out. It’s also a hot topic because people are angry that most of the advertising is directed towards teens and young people. Advertisers use their ads and commercials with national idols drinking because they know that there are kids looking up to them. They want to get the young people hooked on alcohol at a young age just so they can make a lot of money.
Tobacco is also a hot topic of advertising. Tobacco is such a hot topic because it is one of the leading causes of lung cancer, which can sometimes be deadly. Tobacco advertising is also targeted at teens and young people just as alcohol is. Tobacco ads include idols smoking, people looking cool and a stress reliever. Many teens face issues dealing with the “in crowd” and stress. Tobacco advertisers target personal problems and make people believe smoking is a way to solve the problem.
About Me
- *Alexis J*
- My name is Alexis and I am enrolled in a Media Analysis class at THS. One of things that has sparked my interests was an assignment we did on pictures that had been modified or changed to make someone look better or to portray a certain image. Another assignment was one where we had to write out scripts showing the effects of violence in the media. The last one was where we got to act out skits that our other class mates wrote out. Outside of school I lead a very normal, laid back life. I have my goals set very high and I try to keep myself in order to make sure nothing can hinder me from doing what I want to do in life.
