How to get someone to trust advertising

I've carefully examined the history of human advertising: An aggressive version was tried in ancient Greece, and with success. The contemporary example is the 'advertising' of religions which try to convert people using mass media , internet marketing , e-mail spam …The original purpose of this approach was different from what it's used for today: In those times merchants were not sure how their customers really behaved or thought. A person that decided to buy a barrel of oil could suddenly change his mind after he had drunk some wine; a woman viewing wedding dresses might decide against buying one if she decides to go out drinking instead . Advertising has been "calibrating" these people by putting objects (especially food) straight into front storage areas so that if they were interested at all, it would be extremely easy for them to act on the interest. When purchasing anything else, however–anything more substantial than food–a skilled merchant would use another method : matching up actual wants with real needs . For instance, he'd compare the buyer's wealth status against her salary status and then match said goods up accordingly – clothes being tailored according many buyers' income levels and tastes – steering clear from things that wouldn't appeal on low salaries but might otherwise during big ones.Similarly, when people made poor decisions while driving horses/carts through town instead of carriages because passing suits took precedence over gaining speed/mobility , a man movingg house may have taken his horse harness with him simply as fashion accessory 🙂 However when switching back to cars there wasn't time enough between decision making processes for adjusting cargo weight transfers much better (the transition between modes hadn't been sufficiently tested yet). Resulting deaths and damaged vehicles left quite an impression… And thus we can see that even large scale enterprise like corporations can suffer from either ignoring product quality issues until too late or misinterpretation causing bad faith chaining among humans."

First of all it is best to understand that advertising can only work if the marketer's product has a superior quality compared to its competitors. If both products have equal qualities, the message will not be listened on with convincing strength and an attentive audience won't be targeted. The advertiser needs absolute trust in their own product, which they consequently earn through certifications granting legitimacy or what other means work as well.As far as I know there are (at least) two types of certification: 1.: An organization grants some organizations or people like scientists or celebrities this status based on certain criteria e.g., ethical standards 2.: A peaceful corporation likes Association Européenne des Entreprises de Distillation d'Alcool (ADIBA), WWF, FSC etc., grant these certificates according to eco-friendly goals or less pollution practices towards nature etc."A possible criticism may already arise: shouldn't you distinguish knowledge from understanding? On the one hand we could differentiate between "raw" facts such as numbers and data (like dog number 84321 has been neutered 1633 times so far) which would need processing by an IBM Watson API before becoming part of our everyday life; On the other hand we should distinguish helpful opinions presented as facts for specific use cases.The philosophy AI processes numbers in order to count them - but then what about 5+3 was first just dogma and later became a rule given by Newton's Third Law without further ado being intellectually processed ? In any case philosophical statements about reality become indispensable when discussing whether raw data can lead us deeper into reality than engineering specifications requiring formulae learned via course curricula recommended for licensing purposes : "recommendations for licensure". Philosophical standards regarding truth itself - wether they refer exclusively to a Platonic X vs Yin dichotomy, existing unto themselves rather than having their existence interwoven within many contexts beyond quantitative measurement, should remain outside quantification programs at all levels once these statements gain general consensus amongst philosophers together with measures suggested fitting those standards justifying universal acceptance on temporal grounds...yet Truth demands comparison with values concerning sincerity critically evaluating subjective experiences balancing understood similarities against unknown differences making available caveats necessary upon successful completion required ...so , agregated statistical proofs alone overall cannot keep pace while interpreting items tested objectively.

We will need to get rid of the taboo on advertisements. This is known as 'cognitive dissonance'. The taboo interferes with global financial calculations and plays apart in waste of resources (the same amount time spent watching tv, reading ads, which has a high return, or doing something else). Also there is much potential for 'advertising' emotions: cooperation and curiosity, rather than fear and greed.It might be necessary to make people more aware of their own happiness by discussing how close they are to the optimum in all areas - this should result from proper measurements, not guesses. We have been exposed to some concepts about happiness recently that can help everyone benefit: extreme income disparity causes unhappiness while equality generates satisfaction. Then we could calculate an indicator for whether you deserve a raise based on your social contribution compared with that of others.

The human brain is a self-learning organism that evolved and changed from natural selection because of the need to survive in its environment. Advertisement does not solve their problems but instead causes new ones, due to an attitudinal mismatch between people and advertisers. People are different from each other; as such, their ideas about life and how society should work may be different, so they require advertising for sieves that display information on suitable products or services to them according to these differences in models of the world . In other words, just like everyone needs a different balance of nutrients for his or her body at any given time, which requires many specific foods with varying characteristics throughout one's life (supplements), advertisement targets discrepancies between the various states and situations in which consumers find themselves while constantly changing position within the competitive market – i. e. supplements – forcing people marbled among large groups into limiting themselves exclusively within this small section: industry serendipity . This confines people to quickly adapt to new ads even though our own cognitive traits change drastically over time as we move through successive developmental stages; examples would include childhood/adolescence , adulthood , old age , celebrity status (objection #1: An ad cannot substitute being famous).
