Advertising and Rhetoric

I think advertising is very much like rhetoric because when the marketing teams are advertising they are directly trying to get us to buy their product. Advertising only brings out the best parts of the product and talks about how convienient life would be if we bought their product, they don't tell us that if we buy their product we will have no idea how to use it, fix it, or even replace it. Advertising doesn't want to allow people to fix the things they already have because they want them to have to buy new ones. Advertising is so powerful today because we see it everywhere now. From the minute the alarm clock goes off till the moment you turn off the television at night we are bombarded by advertisements.
People have to remember that advertisements are for the companies that they work for; they're not for us. As long as the American people keep the advertisements in perspective then its ok; but we can not believe everything that we hear and see. Advertisments are just created to make the most money that they can.
