We watched "Consuming Kids" in class. It was about how marketing and advertising has become way too out of control. Children are being persuaded into things that they want so badly they are becoming spoiled and are wanting everything they see on t.v. now. The documentary also explained how kids now a days would rather be rich or famous when they grow up and get a job, back then kids wanted to be more realistic things.
1. How did the documentary make you feel? It made me feel that today everybody is focusing more on things we want then more of the things we need.
2. What were you surprised by? I was surprised by all of the kids that are so greedy and wanting so many things now. Like when I was little i wanted toys too but now its getting out of control.
3. Should there be laws about marketing to kids? I think there should be, because things are kind of getting out of control. But there shouldn't be really strict rules.
