Advertising and Media Literacy

Wikipedia defines advertising as a promotion of goods, shows, services, etc. in order to attract consumers’ or viewers’ attention or dissemination of information about someone, something.Therefore, the theme of the Saturday media literacy course was advertising itself as a resource that could affect people's thoughts and form a right or wrong attitude to the subject of discussion. While watching various videos, the course participants expressed their views on the main purpose of these films. For example, for what are wedding rings given during a courting and a wedding? What does it mean? When did this tradition come? How this tradition is used for advertising and so on. How a Petrushka’s hat or a boomerang should be advertised to be bought? This was the main task for the groups. What will be the next week? We are waiting.
