The other side of the coin: How honest do conventional advertisements are?

 Snickers, the good advertiser


Snickers is a compay that likes aproaching to the client with unconventional ways. While Coca Cola does something similar with feelings, Snickers tries to make their advertisements as "fun" as possible. This is visible with the different publicity campaings that the company has launched throughtout the world, planning unique campaings forevery country, with the purpose of making the announcement as close as possible to each country´s sense of humor. 

Snickers is a company that reaches its publicitary goals by talking the least possible about the product itself, centering the attention on the situations where the product intervenes, as if the product had a positivity attribute. The omission over here is obviusly the nonexistant mentions to the product´s elaboartion and ingredients, which would likely be the greatest downside of the product for the general public. The way of fixing these would be launching a campaign about how the product is made, so people could be aware of what are they consuming, but, as we can imagine, that would damage the sales numbers, so these world where companies care more about having concious customers that just custumers, whose ideas about the product go from little to none, is not part of these reality. 

 Sánchez, the man of the people


Pedro Sánchez, the current prime minister of Spain, built his last campaing on the idea of political estability. Having united with Podemos, a now decaying but back then still visible extreme left party, and the numerous nationalist parties distributed through the spanish geography. He had explicitely said that the PSOE (Spanish socielist worker party, which is nowadays under his leadership) would never form a goverment with independentist parties, which have proved to be a huge lie. He said that Spain would have a goverment of change, a goverment for Spain, but everything ended up instead "Ahora sí", in "Ahora no". These could be changed if the politicians did not valued been in power at all costs above the people´s good, but we all know how humans work, and if the is still leading Spain after so many bad decisions (Giving away public funds for recluting votes, raising taxes to terrifying levels, putting Spain´s goverment unity on the hands of people agaisnt Spain, among many other lies and bad deeds), we can conclude that these is Sanchez´s fault, but of those who placed him there and still defend him, even to irrationality.

Nética: ¿Algo necesario?

  La ética , según la define Gustavo Bueno, es el conjunto de normas que tienen por objetivo salvaguardar, fortalecer y preservar la vida de los individuos corpóreos. Así, comportándose homólogamente a la ética pero en el mundo virtual, la nética busca hacer lo propio pero en las redes sociales, convirtiéndose en la base de la netiqueta y en parte de los componentes de la llamada "ciudadanía digital" . La ciudadanía digital, como ya se dijo con anterioridad, es un código de civismo que todo usuario en redes sociales o similares está, al menos teóricamente, obligado a seguir. Así, esta "nética" tiene como objetivo imponer ciertos patrones de conducta para los usuarios de internet, partiendo de los postulados de la moral en turno que son, como ya todos probablemente ya sabremos por experiencia, respeto, tolerancia y cooperatividad . Las obligaciones de un "ciudadano digital" podrían de algún modo resumirse en que todo ciudadano digital respete los der...

Recapitulación y la Sociedad del cansancio

 Haciendo memoria... Durante el pasado mes hemos visto diversos temas, y para recordarlos, he hecho los siguientes dos gráficos:  Sociedad del cansancio En otros temas, hemos en clase, también, revisado los postulados de Byung-Chui Han en su libro La sociedad del cansancio , libro que trata, sobre todo, el rumbo actual de la sociedad y cómo el exceso de emociones e ideas vacías esta derivando en un supuesto cansancio general agudizado por patologías neuronales. El libro se estructura al estilo de La civilización del espectáculo  de Vargas Llosa, teniendo un enfoque, como era de esperarse, principalmente antropológico.  Puesto que se nos pidió extraer un cita que encontrásemos interesante, he aquí la mía: " El Yo tardomoderno, sin embargo (a diferencia de los animales), está totalmente aislado." He escogido este fragmento pues, aunque no lo dice explícitamente, esta frase evidencia con cierta modestia cómo hoy en día, a pesar de estar más conectados que...
