Consuming Kids

Consuming Kids The word-painting documentary Consuming Kids highlights the impact of media and advertising on the health and well-being of minorren. Advertising has critically changed canvas from the past to today, as it penetrates children more than adults. Companies have decided to deliver their advertisements to children due to their vulnerable minds. The techniques companies expend to pound a child with their advertisement is by using famous role models equipped with their harvest-time. This influences a child to grasp that product and evidently the same child becomes a consistent consumer in the marketing world.Not but is advertisement publicized on TV but, also on the internet and cellular mobile devices, do it harder for a parent to neglect its unwanted presence. Science is involved in this documentary as scientists use the blinking experiment to analyze the childs attention rate. Scientist have mentioned that advertisers use round figures passim their commercial, as it has been found that children are attracted to this shape making it harder for them to neglect the purpose of the advertisement. This is only a footling contribution of how advertising has used symbolism to support its function.Using symbolism within an advertisement is very wily because it not only portrays the significance of the product but, portrays the positive lifestyle given when the product is purchased. Age conglutination plays a huge role in the marketing scheme, as it provokes young kids to feel older, making the product more suitable for the younger consumers. Advertisements affect a childrens mind negatively, as it can impact their vocabulary, cause them to lose their concentration span and eventually diagnose them with ADHD.In this documentary I was able to greet and under(a)stand each and every perspective of how advertisements are abusing children. The media claims that parents are ultimately responsible for what their children watch, wear, and eat. I trust this is not true, because realistically a parent is unable to guard their child from advertisements every minute of the day. at that place is a likely chance that advertisement can be viewed at public locations like schools or daycares, making it harder to repel your child from advertisements. From this point, only the government has the ability to control such advertisements.As a night club we should embrace the conflict raised from the media and publicize the negative effects of a child watching advertisements. We should forbiddance the usage of advertisements used in schools and daycares so, children are not affected by them. A letter concerning the springy information about the documentary should be sent out to every family, so parents are conscious(predicate) of this cause. What shocked me the most, was the disturbing picture of the little girl who claims shes trying to be sexy. This picture represent a young female child with her back pointing to the camera without a shi rt.As soon as I recognized that, my point of view on advertisements harming children has changed enormously. There should be no reason for children to dress unsuitably in modern society. Yes, I feel like I have been affected by advertisements throughout my childhood. From a very young age of 6, I was behaving like the young boys shown in the documentary. Similar to them, I would also commit to violence and aggressive materials, such as movies and video games. At the time, it felt everyday but now recognizing the effect of advertisement I am able to comprehend that I was under the influence of media.
