“Culture is the place and space where a society tells stories
about itself, where values are articulated and expressed,
where notions of good and evil, of morality and value, are
defined. Every society has a cultural field that talks about
these things. In our culture it is the stories of advertising
that dominate the cultural field. Advertising, in fact, is the
Main storyteller of our society” – Sut Jhally
What kinds of things does advertising say are important to people? The ads about how young you can look n’ feel.
What does advertising say we want in our lives? To feel rich n’ beautiful.
What does it say makes us happy? Social things such as; love, romance, family ECT.
I think that some of the advertisements are way over done. I don’t believe that it works the way they say it does.

advertising doesnt mirrow how people act, but how they are dreaming.
this ad shows us of a baby thinking off how she couldn't have a brother, which upsets her. this ad appeal to people because it's a baby girl sitting on a chair and it looks really cute. 

This is a picture of a lonely and afriad soldier, who is trying to defend himself with a sock. this ad appeals to people, cause its funny(also his feet must stink, using sock for defence). yes, way over board, because no matter how much someone socks stink and someone was about to shot they would anyways.
