The Persuaders

Though my class schedule is absolute mayhem right now, I am thoroughly enjoying one of my classes: Media and societal identification. We basically discuss advertising's effects on our society, and how we affect advertising. Since I am so "pro-advertising," it's interesting to hear the opposite opinions of the industry, where those negative impressions are coming from, and how we can adapt to where it becomes more accepted.

Today in class we watched a series which first premiered on PBS' Frontline, called The Persuaders. The entire series can be viewed here, but below is the first segment, embedded (I think there are six total, about an hour and a half long). I found it to be very interesting and stimulating. Try at least watching one segment. I hope you enjoy.
