What is advertising for? Do we analyse what advertisements say? That’s what we are going to do now. We are going to work on advertising to become more critical with what we see.
PAUSE FOR THOUGHT… Do we analyse what we see or do we only see it? Is everything we want and wish to have necessary or does the advertising make it necessary? Are we influenced by advertising?
