The influence of adds on children
Over the last decades, we have been bombarded by adds directed at our children under the age of 12. Without doubt, it is the most discussing theme among people of all countries. Bans on advertising aimed at young children are already working in such places as Sweden and Greece. Is it high time our government did the same?
Some people urge to see immediate end to the advertising aimed at children since they are absolutely convinced that when children learn the cost of material things and how to manage small quantities of money they should be free to do so without pressure put on them by advertising. They suggest that as things stand, we all are in danger of turning out young consumers rather young citizens – people who define themselves more by what they can buy than what they can contribute to society. Children should be free to channel their energies into forming friendship, unleashing their imaginations, developing talents – things that cost little but have more significant value.
Secondly, the children’s mindы are not able to process the imageries in adds. They are incredibly vulnerable to suggestive and powerful advertisement on TV. These advertisements take advantage of kids and get them «hooked» on food and habits that are destructive to their health going into adulthood. For instant, these advertisements rarely show harmful effect of fat, cholesterol and diabetes from eating this junk food.
In contrast, opponents of banning of such commercial advertisements on TV point out that what is needed is media literacy education. Children should be aware of being bombarded by different kind of messages, good and bad, every day. Parents are in charge of teaching their children to discern these messages from a very early age and to react correctly.
Furthermore, this group of people suggest that commercial advertising might be a perfect place for launching and developing career in show business proving it with great many examples of real stories. In addition, taking into consideration the evolving path of our society, it is essential to figure out what new has appeared on the market.
In balance, frankly speaking, children under the age of 12 are nor mature enough to understand the different between wrong and right things. Although, do teenagers distinguish the right and wrong? Can you claim that the adults always can make the right decision? So the ultimate choice to buy or not is parent’s responsible and banning of commercial advertisements on TV is not solution.
