This past unit in ROGATE, we were learning about how advertising influences teens and their cultures. This is a very true statement, because even if we don't realize it, when we watch TV we are being influenced by ads, shows, commercials etc. Advertisement really makes the world of fashion go round. When teens see something that looks really cool, they would want to wear it, than more people will wear it, than a fashion trend will begin.
"Teens watch far more television than they did in the early days of TV." Says one news article that talks about how teens and children are influenced by television ads. "In addition, they are online (via computer or smart phone) where advertising is relevant as well." This article clearly shows how advertising is pretty much every where. Every where you go you will see ads, watching television, online, at the mall, in restaurants, etc., etc.!
One of the most influencing types of advertisements are video game ads (for the guys) and clothing ads (for the girls). This is not proven by facts but merely by my opinion by observing people in school, and my own behavior to these type of products. Even when teens are mostly influenced by these genres, children could be influenced by other products like dolls, action figures, and other kid like toys.
This past unit of ROGATE was a fun one, being able to learn what really influenced teens, and people like us, on what we wear, say, and do. These things that influence us is advertisements, or ads for short. These ads can show anything to video games, sports, and even PSA's. These ads, are what really influences teens, children, and pretty much everyone around the world.
