Social Justice and Digital Media of Advertising

In the past, before technology was a huge part of our society, advertising was mostly on paper. Now in a whole new generation, mostly everything from advertising is on billboards, the internet, and television. Companies like to make a unique commercial to get people buy their product. This ties into digital media because if you go on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or any other internet website, it’s everywhere. On YouTube, most videos that are popular have at least a 30sec ad in the video. Advertising ties in with Social Justice because some advertising try to influence people they can feel happier if they buy the product. They also try to make the commercials catchy, so you can remember them. If you repeat a song or phrase from it, people might recognize it and could get the word around with people asking, “Why is everyone saying this on that commercial?”

                 In the future, mostly everything that involves advertising is going to be on digital media. Very solemn now you’re going to see advertising in the newspaper because mostly everybody doesn’t pay attention to that. When people watch T.V, they mostly have to watch the commercials because 95% of television goes to commercials. A regular television show, says it might last a half hour but, usually the actual show is only close to 20min. There are some great motivation commercials that ties into social justice because social justice can make everyone equal and people can do anything they want to. They just need to have the mindset to be successful on doing it and keep trying if mistakes happen. When I saw this, I thought this was interesting because it tied in with digital media and social justice, that’s why I posted this for my blog.
