Throughout the past 11 weeks we have covered many different topics. Even though I enjoyed all of them, stereotyping in advertising was my favorite. This is because our society is so used to stereotyping that even when we see it in a commercial it may not be that apparent to us. Also, I enjoyed this topic because I personally stereotype on a daily basis and I found that I could understand why they made the commercial they way did and what they were thinking when they making the commercial or ad. Another thing, I enjoyed the class discussion we had about this topic because I felt like more people got involved and had something to say since everyone reacts to stereotypes differently.
However, I do believe that advertising is changing the way they contact people because everyone is always on their cell phones or computers. Instead of just playing an ad during a commercial or having a billboard being seen, advertisers are having to work much harder. They now have it on the side of our browsers, and pretty soon we will experience it while we are on our cell phones once technology advances enough. Another thing to, with social media becoming so heavily used by our society, advertisers will continue to use those mediums as a form of getting their ads seen especially since they won't have to be paying millions for this. Overall, I think advertising is heading in the right direction since they are moving forward along with our technology and society.
