"Salespeak"

Roy F. Fox made a very strong point by saying when aren't we not exposed to advertising in today's society. All around us there are billboards, commercials, signs planted in the grass, banners, etc. written everywhere. We also get them through emails and text messages. My inbox is pretty much filled up by the end of the week by just advertisements. Roy F. Fox, a professor of education at the University of Missouri, argues that the line between advertising and education has become too blurred, that advertisers and advertising are not just becoming a common presence in our schools, but that the methods and goals of advertising are beginning to shape the curriculum in ways he finds both pervasive and disturbing. Advertising is started to control the world around us and seems to be well in control in the future. In knowing this, we, the people need to start broaden the way we see advertising and not let it make decisions for us in how we live our lives.
