Media Comments - Malisa Faustino

Media runs this world. If it wasn't for advertising, nothing would sell.
Now that all of us have researched the whole theme of advertising, majority of us disagree thoroughly that people are being portrayed in a disgraceful and demoralising manner and that we want to, infact we NEED to change the world of advertisement. On the point of change, who of us actually want things to change, seen as though we look at posters of women portraying themselves as objects and infact we look up to it, or if we don't look up to it, we consider buying the product.
If you disagree with this, then seen as though we are the youth and the youth has changed alot in the past, what will we do? Will we protest and if we do, what change will it make? How long will it take us to get rid of these images and horrible symbols? Will we even keep in mind what we have seen and researched, months or years down the line or will we continue our lives, turning a constant blind-eye to all these harmful and influential imageries and how, if we are truely against it, will we convey this message to others?
All these questions are constantly running through my mind and one day, i hope they will be answered and change will occur.
