Nowadays, we can’t refuse that media is a part of our lives. We access and perceive various media every day by watching, listening and reading. Moreover, media are a tool for spread thinking, belief and commercial benefit. For instance, many world-classed and wealthy companies spend their budget with advertisement through internet, poster, radio and Television. Therefore, they want to succeed in commercial investment. Furthermore, theses companies want their products to be the best brand which everyone knows and trust in them, although these goods and services are not really good as they portrayed in advertisements.
Frequently, we will find that companies use media as a way to taking advantages from customers without morality and responsibility. They only think about their own benefit which they believe that it is the most valuable thing of their businesses.
For example, Sappe is a healthy beverage product which is very famous in Thailand. It is the one of products in Thailand which persuades people that just drinking it, they will be healthy and good looking. Moreover, its price is not expensive, so most of people can afford is easily. Sappe Chlorophyll convinces customers that it can help them fresher and healthier. In addition, it claimed that drinking just one bottle equals vitamin C from three broccolis. Do you believe it? You pay just 20 baht for your health.
Fortunately, I like to notice ingredients what I am going to buy or eat. I am not a stupid customer who eats greedily and unconsciously. Exactly, it is not a nutrient drinking because it has high sugar and very little healthy components. I believe that many people misunderstand that it is a healthy beverage. I think that it can cause many problems for consumers in long period such as overweight or diabetes.
Finally, I think that we, consumers should be aware of what we are going to consume more than its price. Moreover, unbelievable advertisements should be limited or adjusted some parts which lure and lie customers, especially an impact with children. Sometimes, we take what we like and it is fashionable or sounds good. Companies can say or mention whatever they want. Don’t let yourself be a prey of media but make it as your choice.
