Hype

  The passage "hype" is an article about how North America is drowned with advertisements. They're are billboards, commercials, and announcements on the radio trying to promote their products. Meaning, there is no way to get out of these advertisements.
  One of the ideas that caught my attention was the billboards. At first, advertisements were used in commercials but now it went from TV to billboard, buses, banks, and etc. It's crazy how the media goes crazy about these promotions. In my opinion, I believe that these billboards and advertisements brainwash people in such a way. As in people would be closed mined just because they saw something or heard it.
  Sometimes people don't look beyond these advertisements and see for themselves and get their own opinion or look at the facts. For example, many people used to think that the sun use to go up and down. Everyone believed that until Galileo thought to himself " what is the reason" then he found out that the earth rotated. My example may not be the best explanation but the point is that sometimes in life you cant go by these advertisements because it might not be real. It's actually best if you look beyond it  and see for yourself. Don't let the media fool you with these promotions.
