We had a curriculum in school identifying different types of propaganda in advertising. They had us bring in ads from magazines and sort through how they were trying to sell us things. Likewise, I can't imagine that still being taught today. Seems like it would be one of the first casualties of the modern American way of defunding education.
We learned things a long those lines a couple times when I was in highschool not that long ago, but I also went to a weird highschool so I'm not sure how much that generalizes
Whats a magazine?
It's like a disposable book, with ads.
So they used to just throw Kindles in the trash?!
Dude, stfu lol. I was taught that in the last 3 years. Just because you "can't imagine" doesn't mean it isn't.
Fair point. I'm honestly glad to know it's still being taught, what with the defunding of education in America and everything. It will serve you well.
But seriously, shut your mouth and learn from your elders. You don't know what you don't know, and you're over-confident about what you think you do. You know how I know? I was you, twenty years ago.
