范文

"To buy or not to buy"is the essential question that faces every consumer. Before purchasing the ideal product,people must first grapple with the basic issue: does the product truly fulfil our desires,does it provide real utility,or is our desire to buy merely peaked by the"fantastic"poster tempting us to throw away hard- earned cash? The Pandora's box of consumer culture is amplified through advertising.

The term"consumerism"is defined as the equation of personal happiness with the purchase and consumption material goods. There is an irrefutable and definite link between consumerism and advertising.

No one can avoid the tremendous influence of advertising for good reason: advertisements inevitably show off the strengths of products,and as often as not make false or exaggerated claims about the utility performance,or impact of a product on the happiness of the consumer. In other words,advertisers go to great lengths to hype the product lines that can yield the highest profits. Take iPod for example,although it is not the best acoustic quality media player in the industry,more importantly,Apple has packaged it to be more than just a media player. According to the feedback given by iPod users in market research surveys,94. 7% of clients prefer to regard their iPods as a stylish accessory,not as a media player. Obviously,their actual needs (assuming that such needs exist at all)are distorted by a desire to be fashionable.

We can determine the power of advertising by posing a very simple question: what are our real needs? Technically,the primary necessities of human beings,and not their infinite desires,are what drive people to buy essential products. Basic necessities are all that are needed to meet the requirements of people's daily accommodation. Besides,people do need to focus more energy on spiritual and mental pursuits,areas that have nothing to do with consumerism. Informed by a sense of moderation and necessity,people would ideally use advertisements as a source of valuable information about products,and use their good judgment to choose among a reasonable choice of products.

All in all, people's shopping desires and consumer culture have been greatly exaggerated by advertisements. And the media shares a complicity for the corrupted customs of our consumer culture that have long since overwhelmed the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom that thrived in Shakespeare's time.

“買還是不買”是每個(gè)消費(fèi)者面臨的基本問題。在購(gòu)買理想的產(chǎn)品之前,人們必須首先解決一個(gè)基本問題:產(chǎn)品是否真正滿足了我們的欲望,它是否提供了真正的效用,或者我們的購(gòu)買欲望僅僅是因?yàn)椤皦?mèng)幻”海報(bào)誘惑我們?nèi)拥粜量噘崄淼腻X而達(dá)到頂峰?消費(fèi)文化的潘多拉盒子通過廣告放大。

“消費(fèi)主義”一詞被定義為個(gè)人幸福與購(gòu)買和消費(fèi)物質(zhì)商品的等式。消費(fèi)主義和廣告之間有著無可辯駁的必然聯(lián)系。

沒有人能夠出于正當(dāng)理由避免廣告的巨大影響:廣告不可避免地會(huì)炫耀產(chǎn)品的優(yōu)勢(shì),而且往往不會(huì)對(duì)產(chǎn)品的效用表現(xiàn)或?qū)οM(fèi)者幸福感的影響做出虛假或夸張的宣稱。換言之,廣告商竭盡全力宣傳能夠產(chǎn)生最高利潤(rùn)的產(chǎn)品線。以iPod為例,雖然它并不是業(yè)界音質(zhì)最好的媒體播放器,但更重要的是,蘋果已經(jīng)將其包裝成不僅僅是一個(gè)媒體播放器。根據(jù)iPod用戶在市場(chǎng)調(diào)查中給出的反饋,94。7%的客戶更喜歡將iPod視為時(shí)尚配件,而不是媒體播放器。顯然,他們的實(shí)際需求(假設(shè)存在這種需求)被時(shí)尚欲望所扭曲。

我們可以通過提出一個(gè)非常簡(jiǎn)單的問題來確定廣告的影響力:我們真正的需求是什么?從技術(shù)上講,驅(qū)使人們購(gòu)買基本產(chǎn)品的是人類的基本必需品,而不是他們無限的欲望?;颈匦杵肥菨M足人們?nèi)粘I钏璧囊磺斜匦杵?。此外,人們確實(shí)需要將更多精力集中在精神和精神追求上,這些領(lǐng)域與消費(fèi)主義無關(guān)。在適度和必要感的指引下,人們會(huì)理想地利用廣告作為有關(guān)產(chǎn)品的寶貴信息來源,并利用他們的良好判斷在合理的產(chǎn)品選擇中進(jìn)行選擇。

總之,人們的購(gòu)物欲望和消費(fèi)文化被廣告大大夸大了。媒體與我們的消費(fèi)文化中的腐敗習(xí)俗有著共謀關(guān)系,這些習(xí)俗早已淹沒了莎士比亞時(shí)代盛行的對(duì)知識(shí)和智慧的追求。
