Research Exploration

When asked to explore what topic I would like to write about on my research paper for the class I began to think about things that would intrigue me.  One of the things that came to my mind at first was advertisement.  Even though I am a engineering major and not really a marketing or advertisement major, I am still interested about how advertisement is used in today's society, specially in the United States.

One of the big things I want to explore on this topic is the idea of visual persuasion in advertisement.  I would also like to talk about how much of what is said is true in advertisement and about how much of it is omitted from the public.  In addition, I want to research about how the government helps to protect its people from fraudulent advertisement.

Something that got me into wanting to talk about advertisement was the fact that i had recently seen The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, a documentary on advertisement and its subliminal messaging in movies, also known as product placement.  The documentary really opened my eyes to the reality of advertisement and I feel that it is something that everyone should know about.

What is this?

I'm not really sure how this works, so I'll keep writing in this box since it is letting me.  It makes sense in my head so I'll keep writing until i just don't feel like it.  And that would be now...
