There is not a ton of advertising in my neighborhood, there
is only “For Rent” signs here and there. There is a lot of advertisement a
little further though. For example, a few streets away there is plenty of
advertisements for fast food places and restaurants and even farther there is
the Downtown Reno which is lit up every night to show the skyscraper casinos
and hotels. Also, every Friday night as well as other nights the Reno Aces
Ballpark shoots fireworks up into the sky. These advertisements do not reflect
our neighborhood values aside from the “For Rent” signs because our
neighborhood only consists of apartments and house. None of the advertisements
reflect my values because I have never been one to be showy or flashy and that
is exactly what the Aces Ballpark is and Downtown Reno.
These ads influence
people by attracting them to Downtown with lights and parties or flashy food
signs that make one want to eat there. Also, these ads all want you to spend
money at their casino, store, park, food place, and so on. Furthermore, these
ads only want us to consume which I am against because I do not feel we need to
spend all of our money every week on superficial things. That is why for me,
these advertisements are so easy to pass, especially when you see them every
night. They just become part of the background after a while.
