Silver Lining

In my opinion, our economy is not as bad as the economy in 1930's and the fact that was said really irritated me because we have not gotten that bad yet. Our ecoonomy just needs a little boosting. People need to learn how to save yet they also need to spend money because if we dont then the little businesses will go out of business. Therefore people need to manage there money in a way that can help the economy and themselves in the future. So i agree and disagree with this article. But i also think that by telling people the economy is going down, will increase fear of losing jobs and belongings. If we stop coming up with new inventions and telling people its the cool thing to do, then in return people will stop buying the new technology.

Advertising Drugs

I believe that perscription drugs should not be advertised on the television. First of prescription drugs should only be known of by the doctors, the public doesnt need to know all of the drugs out there. Especially because there are a lot of people that just wants someone to feel sorry for them, so they can make up the symptons for the drug, just so they can take it. Plus the public doesnt necessarily know the side effects off the drugs being advertised. Most advertisements just show everything good about the drug, and everything that is bad just gets put in a little corner or is in really tiny hand writing. Therefore the public doesnt generally know about the drug that they think they want to be on. Another reason would be all of the people addicted to drugs that would just like to take anything they can get there hands on. People that arent doctors dont need to know what the drug is used for. Plus there are a lot of other side effects that arent shown on tv that most people never know about if they go and get it perscribed unless they read the fine print. Therefore, i dont believe that drugs should be advertised on the television.
