Hey guys,
Have you ever met someone who thinks that business is just about deceiving the buyer and screwing him over? Or thinks that advertising is evil? That's like my dad. I just had a discussion with him about this, but since I'm studying advertising myself I know this isn't true. Advertising is about giving the person what they already want and amplifying that desire, not tricking them into buying something. However he's convinced otherwise, I tried to talk him out of it but then he brought up an example about something he recently bought. The package said "BONUS includes 2 waxing pads" but they're was a picture of 4 on the box. So now he's convinced he's been screwed over, and tells me how this is what he's learned through his life, and that I have a lot to learn. Have you ever met someone like this? Why do so many people think this way? I think he just misunderstood, but is there any truth to what he's saying?
