This article is telling me a federal
agency is trying to tell and teach young teens about how advertisements help
persuade you to buy a product. The agency also made a website to “aducate”
young teens about the types of advertisements and how they persuade the public.
They even made a website called admongo.gov which includes a game to teach teens
about products and how they are used and what tactic they use to persuade them.
It is not really a website to make sure that they fall for advertisements that make
you pay more then you are supposed to do. It also helps you be aware of the
tricks they use such as voiceovers, very sad music, famous testimonials, and
humor. This article is very useful to teens and kids.
It also has made teens aware of what
the buy nowadays. For example, ads about the iphone and other phones had made a
huge impact on teens. On my bus I see tons of 7th and 8th
graders with them, in fact I have an iphone myself! One quote that stands out
to me is “So they can make you better, more informed choices of what they
shop.” This website is very useful to parents to help kids understand where
they are coming from when they ask for something.
In this
entire website has informed me of advertising has affected culture and daily
life as we know it. It has improved my awareness of advertisements and how they
affect teens everywhere. This rogate lesson was amazing.
