Advertising and the 7 Deadly Sins

This website outlines a class assignment, ignore the bottom part but focus on the charts. It puts into tables the 7 deadly sins and the 7 virtues and shows how the media and “modern advertisements” have twisted all of these around and told us to do the opposite…it’s quite sad actually and a negative reflection on our society and the ad world today. Seeing these, however, I think is an eye opener and possibly a good place to start to take some action to change the way people view advertising. When you are looking at the charts look at the last column that says “modern advertisements” and try to identify ads that fit those modern sayings. Its no wonder that people have difficulty trusting advertising and believing in its claims, because the majority of it tends to contradict all of the values instilled in us from a young age. Anyway I think this is a simple but effective visual that calls for immediate and positive change.
