How the news scares us to believe them

Watching the news today I couldn't help but notice how the news casters try to make things seem much worse than they really are. For instance, they practically scare everybody to death by how bad they make our economy seem. Also, they make some stories about killings and deaths much more than what they really are to scare people into believing everything that is being told to them. Today, the news announcers were saying bad things about our economy. I'm not going to lie, if I wasn't in this class I probably would of fell for how bad they made it seem and make me start saving my money more than I already do. Another example of how television scares people into doing what they want is the "click it or ticket" commercials. They make it seem like every time you don't fasten your seatbelt your going to get a ticket, very hard to believe. The news and many products instills fear into the public to make them want to buy their products or do/listen to what they have to say.

I WANT THAT ON T.V.!!!!

If you have never once watched t.v. and saw something you wanted or someone you wanted to be like then this will waste your time if you read...

Have you ever watched a commercial on t.v. and saw a woman or man better looking than you or in much better shape than you are? Personally, I know I have. When I watch such commercials I sometimes wish I was that guy on t.v. with cut abs or muscular arms or even having what they are using in that commercial. It seems perfect thinking of looking better or having better things. There is no problem with wishing and working for an improvement within yourself, but as of late this subject has gone off the wall and is pointed towards females more than males.

While a girl or woman of any age watches t.v. they see women using things to make themselves look young, skinnier, using make up for skin improvement, etc. At a young age, girls view these people as the people they want to be. In many cases, these girls will eventually do absolutely anything in their power to reach this idea of perfection set before them. I believe it is the way that these enhancement products are advertised to the public as to why these people would do anything to be "perfect."

In this commercial, it shows some beautiful woman who apparently lost weight off of a liposuction pill. The commercial shows off areas of her body that every girl and guy wants to see look great (Lets be real). The people sitting on the side of the pool are just throwing out all of these great compliments that would make anybody feel great about themselves. Finally, the commercial makes the pill seem like she just magically lost the weight and it was so easy for the user.

Many women would do anything to look the way that woman looks in the commercial. The way they sell this product is by making people want to lose weight to have the "perfect look" and get all the compliments and all the attention as this lady did. On top of everything, losing the weight by doing nothing at all other than swallowing. The media uses a woman that is found very attractive and showed her off to make their product look irresistible for any consumer to not want.
