A good way to listen to lecture. 5/11

Today's lecture was one of the most interesting lecture for me.
We watched the film whose name was "The corporation" , then we discussed some parts.

In Sweden, advertisement to children is banned by law.
The film considered the advertisement to children as a bad thing because they try to use children as consumers, and our teacher seemed that he agreed with Sweden's policy.

However, I don't think that Sweden's idea is good.
When children watched advertisement to themselves, whether it is consciously or unconsciously, they sometimes may want to get some staff which was advertised.
But, parents can stop them buying unnecessary staff or too expensive staff.
Children can learn how to recognize it is necessary staff, right price, and worth paying money, through that experiences that watching advertisement, trying to buy and being forced to reconsider by parents.

If there is no advertisement to children and they can't learn how to recognize, they will be "good" consumer when they get old and are independent of parents. because they have never experienced to tell too expensive price from right price, necessary staff from unnecessary staff, and good staff from bad staff.
( "good" means that good consumer for the corporation.)

One more thing, (I didn't know that thing but) there were university students who got scholarships from corporation by wearing and using their products.
Some of us criticized them because they are advertisements and try to make many people want to buy that products.
However, if they wore only fair-trade clothes, ate fair-trade foods and got scholarships from the corporation which try to generalize fair-trade, are they doing wrong thing?

I felt what they were doing was very good idea.
When we are watching "the corporation", most students in class tend to take everything in film in negative way.

Actually, I got inspiration to my essay topic from university students who got scholarships from corporations.
