                                            Response to Kids Kustomers                    

             

                In the Kid customers writing by Eric Sclosser, the author assert that kids has been innocently abuse by the company advertisement and suggest that television and cartoon are the most use for this track. By supplying the reader with information about the ads and the different angle they come on, Erick claims for the respect of the child victim of these ads. She also use the company     that has used a cartoon to make a smoking ads. The author wishes to convey to reader the influence of these act on the kids and order to push the concerned to act against the responsible.

             Before 1979, the company was not so interested by children and kids use to pass less of their time watching TV. Nowadays most of the ads is on focus on child. These position of the commercial center push a child to pass 21 hour a week in front of a TV. Without counting watching video game and others. The modern day has an important impact on this change. These business that didn’t focus on kid now have their own children division.

           Scholsser has made a good points in the whole essay, and the majority of its argument are based on his own opinion. He looks more like someone who grew up and some landscape area without technology. That the reason he believe that today youth spend too much time in front of T.V. He even thinks these advertising corrupt them. He blame the big companies such as Nickelodeon and Disney for these corruption. But he forgot that this is 21th century. The advertising were always there, the problem is not everybody had access to. For schlosser advertising child is terrible.  But you can’t blame the big companies for. That's how it has always been. This is the capitalism. All and for my money. The only one you can blame for these corruption is the parents.. If parents would actually spend time with their kids, kids would not say in front of T.V to create their own education. Parents has to stop placing their faith in school for the education of their child. They must do it themselves. 

  I’m not telling that all ads are good for child. Some ads can be bad and even affect the child on a negative plan. What I’m saying is that a companies can’t be blame for what is not of its responsibility. Parents are the only to put the blame on.
