Culture Jamming

Culture Jamming, in another words, all up in your face. What forms the culture? I believe it's the media. Media is every where, on the subway, on your milk carton and even in your mail. the purpose of advertising a product or service is to get caught into you. Sometimes there are way too many ads at once that a person is confuse on what to believe in. Most advertising are simple and get the point across in limited times. The reason for this is to catch the audience attention into the culture. One can't deny that we live in the culture jamming because without it, we would not know which product to buy or how our life style is. Culture Jamming can be both positive and negative. Positive because it can shape ones life into the right direction in life, an example would be a University or College ad that convince students to stay in school It can be negative because at times, people will fall into the media and forget about reality. An example for negative effect can be model ads that result in eating disorder in order to live up to the model standards. People should not get culture jamming in their head but do not avoid it because some may shape a positive life in the future.
