Sea of Persuasion

Hiiii!! :)

I think that everyone is surrounded by a huge sea of persuasion almost every single minute of their lives, whether it be online ads,websites, magazines in a gas station, television commercials, etc. Your own friends and family can persuade you to do something. For example, they can persuade you from something like to stop smoking to something like telling you to buy this or that. You can see people around campus at SJSU handing out papers for events or even hear people yelling stuff out. For example, the other day I was walking and I heard this girl say something outloud, something about donating your used prom dress to give them to students from the bay area that cannot afford one this year. All of this sea of persuasion can either persuade you to do something good and that is necessary or make you do something that is unnecessary and not needed. One can be a more critical consumer by simply saying no to some ads. You don’t need to buy the pair of latest shoes,clothes,etc. that is a choice, but not necessarily a necessity. One just has to think about what is a necessity.
