Daniel, as an expert, why do you think it’s important to understand how ads work?
M :
Knowing how ads work helps us think clearly. It’s about asking, “What is this ad really saying?” or “What does it want me to do?”
W :
How can we get better at understanding them?
M :
Pay attention to the ads you see. Ask yourself, “What feelings is this ad trying to create?” or “How is it trying to affect me?” And always check if their promises are real.
W :
Some ads look like news stories. How do we deal with those?
M :
Good question! Always ask, “Is this real news, or is it just trying to sell something?” That can help a lot.
W :
And what about public service ads?
M :
Those are different. They are not selling anything. Instead, they are trying to share useful messages, like reminding people to drive safely or recycle.
