This refers to a TV commercial being aired nowadays. The
said TVC is about a car brand. There is nothing wrong about it. In the guise of
promoting the car, it is conveying a message to the kids of most impressionable
age. Now this is what I find objectionable.
In the TVC an adult persuades a group of kids into believing
that purpose of education is buying a car! He takes the kids not willing to go
to school in his car and on reaching the school he gives them a piece of advice
that if they study well they too can buy a car like he did! Great!
Is it so? Is this
what we are supposed to tell our kids? Kids and education are as highly
irrelevant as the message is here- that is most vulgar and irresponsible. I am
surprised to find that there is no widespread condemnation against this TVC. Or
is it that our society has accepted making money as the sole purpose of education?
This is also a classic example of creativity going overboard, least concerned
about the consequences of the creation.
Understand the feeling. But I think "sole purpose" is a kind of adjective. You didn't say what should be the motivation. If I go to the other extreme, what is the purpose of education if one can't even buy a car? Just a counter argument.
ReplyDeleteFinally let me declare that I am against the present education system which doesn't identify the real talent of children. I have a reason to be against the system because it always failed me :) Also I can say now I failed the system :D
Thank you for commenting. See the time . Will reply to that.
