EPT Essay

In the media nowadays, celebrities have been promoting products. You can see all types of promotions everywhere. On the internet, on the T.V., and on your phone. In Jozui's argument, she says that celebrities promoting a certain product can be misleading. If a celebrity is promoting a new car, everyone is going to assume that they ride that car and buy it. That goes with all of the other products. Lets say that a celebrity comes out on a condom commercial. All of the people who saw that commercial are going to start buying that condom just because a celebrity was there. People don't listen to the product information. They care about who use it and how they use it. If a celebrity reveals that he uses a condom as a balloon, people are going to start using condoms as balloons. In modern days, people care more about the trends. If they don't follow a certain trend, then they are considered an outsider by their friends or family. Just like the Harlem Shake for example. As soon as your friends start doing it, you have to do it too. This may be known as bandwagon. Bandwagon is when one decides to do stuff because of either peer pressure or because they want to fit into the community. The more you know about the latest trend the more you fit into the internet community. This may not seem like a big deal but then it is. We use technology every single day. Our lives are based on technology nowadays. You are using the internet to read this blog right now. Everywhere you go someone is using their phones to check their social medias.
