Children
come first.
Children
influence a great amount of spending money. They have a lot of power, by
begging their parents to buy them stuff. Often children succeed, but make their
parents miserable. Marketers know about that influence children have, and use
this for their business. Now everywhere in our environment are advertisements to
persuade, mostly children, to get more stuff. Children are too easily to persuade
because they don’t have enough intelligent yet to understand the whole intention
of the advertisements.
Before watching
this documentary, I didn’t know that children have a so big impact on the
economy and business in our world. I need to admit, that the marketers are very
clever by using the children for helping selling their products. Children are an
important source for consuming. Now days many companies are creating lots of
things that children like to get their attention.
I know that
children are good in begging, because I always convinced my brother to ask our
parents for something, if I would do my parents maybe won’t give me anything,
but if a little child asks no one can say no. Nevertheless, I am not happy that the marketers
use the unknowledge of children for their own good. Children are too young to
know the value of money. They harm us, children, by teaching us that life is
about buying and getting more stuff. I now learned that life is way complicated
than it already was. The mean, but clever trick from the marketers show me that
I AM still a child because I’m still falling into their advertising-traps.
In the
documentary, people argued about ‘no advertising to young children’ which after
watching a short documentary clip I found that as a really good idea. But how
bad is the effect of advertisements to young children actually facing our world?
More information and with a map about the different areas and their percentages
of children that get affected would help to get a better view on this topic. But
if the main problem is the unknowledge of children, why don’t we teach them and
protect them? If that could happen, it would be much harder to persuade young children.
