Second Term Exam
Level: 3 year scientific streams
Duration: 2 hours
Text:
It is a common truth today that publicity has a harmful effect on the individual. The aggressivity from
advertisements grows threatening in affluent societies. Whenever you are or wherever you go and practically at any moment
of the day or night, advertisement is there waiting for you. The street, the home, the office, the school, the stadium, the sky-
practically every inch of the earth- is hostile environment, a battlefield where advertisements are constantly offending man's
peace.
The Impact of publicity is greater on the poor, deprived people than on the average working class family. The first are
in need of almost every kind of modern comfort, consumption goods, travels and to mention a few of their unsatisfied
necessities. The latter, on the other hand do not at all escape the negative effects of publicity. They are the victims, too.
They are the slaves of fashion, new products and consumer goods and can not live without them.
However, at this level, mainly when the poor deprived categories of society are in real need, the temptation grows
stronger and stronger and if it is not checked, it becomes a titanic task to resist it mainly when the family and other social
institutions are missing.
