Does
advertising influence people?
In Spain,
like in a lot of countries, there are many advertisements on TV. Most people
think that there are too many advertisements during a film, so they look for
alternative ways to watch films, in YouTube, downloading illegally from Internet...
However, are these adverts influencing us?
On the one
hand, we have channels in Spain, like “Antena 3”, where we can have seven
minutes advertising a product. This fact says that they have an influence on people,
but the reality is that we don’t usually pay attention to them, and we change
the channel. Moreover, the advertisements are usually repeated, so at last we
can hate them.
On the
other hand, we have other channels in Spain, like “La 1”, where there are no
adverts during the film. Instead of this, they advertise their own programmes.
Anyway, I’m not saying that all the advertisements are bad, there are some of
them that are good and influence in our lifestyle, like the adverts of Coke.
All in all,
I think people are looking for other ways to watch films without adverts. It’s
for this reason that TV should improve in this aspect, because adverts can
influence in our lifestyle, but if we don’t watch films on TV, they won’t
affect us.
