The article by Sut Jally was extremely interesting. It was “ball-sy” of his to be so straight foward and almost arrogant- but I liked that. I liked his certain aspects of his style of writing- him being very presumptuous; it made me appreciate and respect him because he was so passionate of what he was writing about. I didn’t like his pessimistic style- it’s something I just couldn’t get myself to agree with.
His whole Marxism thing- come onnnnn. A little bit of capitalism never hurt nobodya anyway -just greed. We as consumers, choose to interpret things the way WE want to see it. Advertising doesn’t mold us- doesn’t make us.
He makes us seem so shallow, so naive- so PLASTIC. I didn’t like that. I believe human beings are good people- naturally. We are not naturally selfish, greedy or uncaring. Could it be that we have been brainwashed by all the garbage on tv that we think people really ARE like that?
I liked that the paper was easy to read- usually when papers are long, lengthy, with “big” words- it bores me and then my mind starts to wander and I don’t really “read”- my eyes just sort of glaze over it. So his writing style kept my attention and his simple way of writing allowed me to understand.
