Blog Entry 11 CAT-W Practice

In my opinion, Timothy Sexton states that it is very remarkable how many dangerous messages can be sent out by TV and ruin and convince the mind for many young people.

I would say that it is really true , how people can be convinced or being enthusiastic for a TV message that is shown many times in a commercial.

Usually TV reinforces you to convince people that you need to get that product, and it does not matter what effect you could obtain of it, but the message that is being shown by the author is that TV looks for conviction, competition and reinforcement, in order for them to succeed.

In my personal experience I had the opportunity to be working in two different business. I am never going to forget what competitive was each company and also the ability to convince people.

Comparing with one of the passages that says that  they have the ability molding the minds of its young fans. In general when you receive a message by TV that you consider that it is dangerous, it is better to feel that conviction instead of allowing them to convince you. 

Also is important to analyze and use common sense, because if you feel that the message that is being received does not convince you, it's better to use your own judgment and say no.

 Years ago I used to work for a light bulb company in sales department. I remember very clear when one of the trainers said to us that if the customer says that the merchandise does not have a good quality you need to accept that input because if the customer is not happy with our product, he has the right not to buy light bulbs anymore from us, and go to another place.

That's why is more important to go to a field presentation instead of watching dangerous ads are sent out by TV that can confuse people and ruin your mind.

 In reality TV needs audience, needs to succeed with it's image,  needs to keep the ability how the message is going to be delivered and enter in our mind, and especially in young people.

In other words the message that Timothy Sexton, the author states is that dangerous messages that are sent out by TV can easily confuse, and allow us to confuse our mind completely.

In my personal opinion the most important is our conviction, own judgement and knowledge, because the dangers or reality TV are every day in our lives.

Another evidence was, when I had the opportunity to talk to one of my best friends, and she stated that her child was not paying attention in class and she was desperate with this issue, because she had been diagnosed with ADHD attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

She was against of prescribed medicines, and she made the comment to me that she had watched on TV a message about natural medicines, and it was especially for children who are diagnosed with this medical disorder.

She stated that the message on TV was delivered with sufficient conviction for the customer, and by the time she made the decision to provide the natural medicine for her child, it did not have a satisfactory result that she expected.

 I informed to my friend that she should not guide herself for a simple commercial or message that was sent out by TV.

In conclusion according to this story, this is the exact information Timothy Sexton states about dangerous messages being sent out by TV, because the only purpose for them is to mold your mind , have the ability to convince people and obtain the good value of their image.
