"hype"

                          Advertisements are being seen almost every places that we go to, mostly they are actually seen when we are traveling, on billboards, buses and so on. For example to the article "Hype," it is sort of a toxic of the mental pollutants because as soon as you open your eyes or decides to go out the first thing you see are advertisements, either it's on the cup of the cofee you're drinking or bottles as far as we know it, matter of fact i completely agree with Lasn.

          Refering to the article "Hype" from Kalle Lasn. these particular advertisements are there to send us a message or it is trying to find a way of it's own to get into our mindS and to think of it. Most of the time we don't really think the television or our computers has pop-ups to basically get out attention. Either we think of it as an annoyance, when the real idea is to get our attention and get us to buy so the can make money. A reason to trully support my point is from my own experience, everytime i saw a poster on the train or glued on the wall, i used to think it was because they had nothing to do with their money. Because most of us to even pay it any mind at all and just ignore it.

           Furthermore, the whole situation is everyday billions of display ads are being posted throughout the North America. It is increasing every single day and many more, almost as if it is a virus that is being spread not only in the world but inside our brains as well. We can think of how a simple bacteria is there and later on forming into a virus. It is the same way that advertisements are spreading into the mind as a mental disease that cannot be cured.

       As a conclusion, advertisements are "suppose" to be there just to catch the consumer's attention. Although it can also be there to mess with the mind and to trick it into buying more and more, whcih is mostly what the advertising management are sending when they post it up.
               

The Allegory of The Cave

In my opinion the main point to The Allegory of The Cave is that, many were actually living in the dark and never really knew what was a real picture because they had never visualized the image of lightness. Meaning, to them other people who have seen and experienced different than what they knew are being called the blindness. Although they are basically the ones who are blind and know nothing about clearance. As a conclusion to the topic, those who are living in the dark will never have a better understanding to those who have been living in light.
