                                                        HYPE

                          Nowadays companies try to promote their product in a way that people get
disturb. According to the article "Hype" by Kalle Lasn states the advertisement act like poison affecting their minds and thoughts. Lans mentions since people open their eyes are looking how companies publicize their goods and services in a frenzy way. Nobody can escape of this annoying thing even in the place where children get educate. I agree that advertisement can be dangerous for human.
                         There is space where companies shouldn't promote their brand, because some of this product aren't healthy for human consumption. Lasn shows us that "Your kids watch Pepsi and snickers ads in the classroom". In other words firms set up advertisement to persuades our children to drink certain type of product that could be harmful for them. For instance when I was in  elementary school my classmate and I usually took a lunch at the cafeteria. There was a place where different companies compete to promote their goods. One of my friends saw a new brand of soda that was recently in the market and decided to buy one. Since that day my friend took a habit of eating with a soda. Time later her addition to drink soda became excessive up to the point of getting kidney problem. As we can see advertisement could persuade people in a way that people became addict of them and cause harm to part of their body.

                         Lasn in her article emphasizes that "Advertisements are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutant". Ads are the most powerful method that firms use to convince consumer to select their product, but sometime those goods and services have an harmful effect in human being. One of the industry that most heavily market their product are tobacco companies, They spend higher amount of money to persuade customer to smoke. However according to the American Lug Association smoke is responsible to people get disease like lung cancer and emphysema. Ads manipulate people's mind in a way that they don't measure how much damage it cause,
                        In conclusion advertisement is a excellent method that companies use to market their product, but some of them have an harm effect in human being. Companies like Pepsi and Tobacco tend to use an aggressively publicity to engage household consumed their product when they all ready know that their product aren't healthy.
