In the reading of "Your Trusted Firends" by Eric Schlosser, a very infromational article, he found a clear position on marketing to children. As he found that marketing to children is very effective, it can leave an impact on the kids. Schlosser uses sarcasm throughout his article, makingn it believable that he believes that marketing to children is okay.While he does this he says,"Now you can buy the happy meal at the happiest place on Earth." (197)
Schlosser with his sarcasm could be criticed fpr not out roght sayong what he was for or against. though the kids would now say that they know Disnay and Ronald McDonald. So one just one questionafter reading his article where do the kids fall?
I agree with schlosser and disagree. I agree with the use of childre is effective to get more people in the place. though, it isnt effective with helping the kids health and true happiness. these comapanies are changing the American culture.

Proofread your blog before you post it, please. I had a difficult time reading this one.
ReplyDeleteYou picked up on Schlosser's sarcasm. Although he doesn't come out against the synergistic relationship between McD's and Disney, the tone of his article tells us his position. His is a critical history.
