         According to Kalle Lasn in "Hype", advertisements are changing our influencing the mind of everybody. It works as a poison, because is killing our brains quietly. There are a lot of marketing messages per day, and we don't even know that we are watching this kind of trash every were. if we don't focus on the real important things in this world, we can get lost in the world of the marketing, and that can ruin our lives. There are a few things that we can pay attention to save us from the presence of this monster. 

       First of all, there are a lot of advertisements that make you eat, products that destroy your organism. For example: Pepsi looks nice, and who doesn't feel thirsty watching a Pepsi commercial?, in the other hand, most of the people don't know, or don't want to know the fact that drinks like  "Pepsi" or the food that you find in Mc Donalds can make a big population of obese people. Furthermore, these commercials make people think that healthy food is only for old people. They make people feel "cool" for some reason only because the drink a popular soda.

      Secondly, we almost forget that we can have fun going to the museum and learning new important things about art or something else related to good knowlege, because when we go to the subway and see the new movie  in theaters, we obviously prefer go to the cinema than go to the museum. Therefore, young people cannot wait even two seconds in the museum, because they think it is boring at all. Parents of these young people could teach them that they can be intellectual people, and acquire the respect of everybody else if they try to leave this kind of "cool things" behind, and start caring about real important things in this world.


       Thirdly, young peopleare being affected by the music of this times. I've heared my four years old cousing, singing songs related with how men unrespect their girlfriends, he also play videogames killing people every second, and he os growing up with this education, because his parents think that it os OK. If i try to let him hear the Bethoven's ninth Symphony, he star crying. He doesn't even like calm songs, and than make me fell bad for him, because he, and a lot of children can become criminals in the future if nobody try to stop the "cool monster of the marketing" how i like to call it.

In conclusion, advertisings can affect us in many different ways. First of all, it has the huge potential of kill our brains. So, if we don't stop this, we won't be able to think by ourselves in the future. Due to the fact, we can be prevented with the few things I mentioned that we thing are not important at all to avoid being eatten by the big monster called: Marketing.
