Week 4- Response #3-#2

Q #1
What's most amazing to me is the way they advertise in different countries. In America, our world moves so fast advertisers have to try really hard to grasp at our attention. They use different techniques to draw us in. Like, mind color tricks with red yellow and blue, which focus our attention into the product being sold, become personable, whether it's showing an Oreo cookie as an after school snack with a father and son, or a Nike commercial they hit us so that we can see ourselves doing it. Therefore need the product to do so. The biggest difference I noticed is that in America, less is more, and bigger is better in advertising. The photograph in the Iran photo took me by surprise. There were about nine different advertisements posted eight times each. I may just be used to seeing one large Coke or Pepsi sign per spot not when it looks like spam-mail covering the grocery store. It is almost like the advertising companies are taking a higher volume of ads in other countries to promote their products. Which in my opinion doesn't make sense, as most countries that are building a McDonalds, or a KFC are all grasping for American prosperity and life. Why advertise so heavily to an already buying customer. The main difference between American culture in America and other places is that in America, this kind of advertising, the "spamming" was stopped being used in the late 80's when advertisers realized that there are better ways to sell products in America. Some things I am proud of our country for being able to expand into other countries. Aside from Europe, we are one of the only countries that have successful business's in other countries then our own.
