What I have Learned

I have learned a lot thing this semester I have learned how to challenge myself when comes to my writing and to think about my reader when my writing my essay. The last two essays we’re really challenging for me. I knew I was supposed to write about two ads but it was challenging because I couldn’t figure out what to write about. I couldn’t come up with thesis statement because I never put a lot of thought into ads and the affect they have on us. I couldn’t figure out if ads we’re good thing or bad thing to society and without guideline I had to challenge myself to come up with a good thesis on my own and convince my writer to agree with my argument.
Before I came up with my thesis I made outline that help me write my essay and my thesis I never knew the power that ads have over teenagers. Once I had my essay done I realize that ads have big effect in teenagers when it comes to having sex at young age. I never thought of ads as bad thing in teenager’s life and how they base their decision on what they see in magazines and TV show instead of listing to their parents or their sex education teacher it show that media has more power over teenager then parents and teachers. Teenager s base their decision about having sex in ads. Before I never thought of ads as big issues in teenager’s life  actually  it never came to mind until I wrote this paper.

  1. Your synthesis essay sounds very interesting! I definatly agree with you that advertisements display and encourage teens to have sex and though I don't know if that is the only thing they base their decision on, it is a very big part of it. What teenagers see in advertisements, comercials, and the media is "real life" whereas what they hear in school and from parents is only what they want teenagers to know.

  2. I never realized how ads affect teens either until I started reading your post. I always just thought ads were trying to sell a product only or show off their models, but after thinking about what your post said I realized how easily influenced teens are by the media and advertisements.
