Our life is the process of advertising

When we hear someone say that advertising is bad, that it makes people “zombies” by imposing things on them, we are often nod in agreement without thinking over those words. But if we thought a little, we would see that our life is a process of advertising.

In order to have a better concept of what advertising is, let’s look at its definition:

advertising (n.) – the attracting of public attention to a product, service, etc. (New Webster’s Dictionary), advertising (n.) – the business of encouraging people to buy goods… (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English). You can also use the abbreviation ad when talking.

If you look closely at these two definitions, you’ll notice that the first one points at the fact that not only products can be advertised, while the second one links advertising with the process of buying. May be the first one is much more acceptable.

Our life is not just about buying or selling, it’s more about constantly choosing between two or more things, ways, etc. It’s choice that saturates our life and makes advertising necessary thing. It is a choice that makes advertising point out something to be bad or good, useful or useless, successful or not. So advertising is a way of helping people, not to impose things on them.

In 1421 Beijing became the imperial capital of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and it was during this time that the spacious walled city is built. Like many ancient cities, the walls and streets were based on the points of the compass.

Among the many historical and cultural landmarks in Beijing is Tienanmen Square, is one of the largest public squares in the world.it is used for political rallies and military parades. On the west side of the square is The Great Hall of the people, where the national People’s Congress meets. To the south is the massive Memorial Hall of the chairman Mao, which was built to hold the remains of the founder of Communist China, Mao Tse Tung.

Today, Beijing’s broad, straight streets are crowded with people, bicycles and streets. Very few people own a car.
