Advertising Essay Reflection
Ad essay reflection
From writing this essay I've started to think about the hypocrisy of myself and almost everyone else. We talk about how terrible corporations are because they destroy the environment and use sweatshop labor and commit other human rights violations but we still continue day after day to buy their products and support their acts with our money. Buying their products is equivalent to casting a vote for a politician. In this capitalist society perhaps it's even more important. I wish I could say that I will stop doing this, but what corporations is so much easier and convenient than bucking the norm.
Time after time, I learn the same lesson from writing an essay and then promptly ignore it the next time I write it. I need to give myself more time to edit. I feel like I was really approaching something good with this essay(the ideas above), but I didn't have time to turn it into a coherent essay. It ended up that I explained my best ideas briefly in the end of the essay when they should have been the essay. And I knew this as I submitted, but I was too frustrated with it to go back and start again. But if I'd given myself more time, then I would have been able to look back at it with fresh eyes and make it really good.
