Children and Television

In this day and age, television is a big part of society.  A lot of people blame it the television for making our children not as healthy, not as educated, and less independent individuals as others around the world.  In my opinion the television is not the reason for all these things that are blamed.  Yes, the television can cause these problems but it is not the thing that is holding you in front of it.  People will choose to sit there and watch TV on their own.  They have the will power to get up and walk away from it but they choose not to.  It is not the television that is the problem; it is the laziness of the person watching the television that is the one to blame.
In general, the television has a lot of educational and helpful shows on it that can help people in life but there are a huge number of people out there that do not watch those shows and watch comedies and cartoons instead.  For me, I like to watch a verity of shows that are education, funny, and sometimes just plain stupid.  I will also spend a couple of hours doing that but I am not over weight at all because I go out and exercise and move around.  There are people though that do just sit around all day and that is what causes them to become not healthy and less independent.  If people would just manage their time between the television and exercise, then they would be healthy, educated, and more independent.

Coca Cola Commercial Ringtone


Advertising to me is something that can be very powerful and by that I mean that it can make people do things that they would not normally do or can make people act ways they normally might not act. Advertising is almost like propaganda. When companies advertise a product they want to make it look awesome and catch the eye of the public. Companies will make images or scenes that are fascinating to the public and they will make the public get drawn into whatever it is that the company is selling. I think that advertising is a very interesting thing. I enjoy seeing some amazing images and scenes that other people have invented. And then there are those images and scenes that are not the greatest which I do not really enjoy seeing.
I love Coca-Cola and I also love the way they advertise. They make great images and commercials that make people cheer up and smile. Also Coke comes up with catchy slogans that also catch the public like “Have a Coke and a Smile” and “Coca-Cola Open Happiness.” Coca-Cola knows how to advertise well and differently for each season and even each holiday.
Here is a commercial that Coca-Cola did a few years ago with their slogan “the Coke side of life.” I like this commercial a lot because it is something that the public can relate to and I am sure people out there have even attempted what goes on in the commercial. I hope you all enjoy the commercial.
