Many consumers ignore commercial advertisements. In response, advertising companies have started using a new tactic, called “buzzing.” The advertisers hire people—buzzers—who personally promote (buzz) products to people they know or meet. The key part is that the buzzers do not reveal that they are being paid to promote anything. They behave as though they were just spontaneously praising a product during normal conversation. Buzzing has generated a lot of controversy, and many critics would like to see it banned.
First, the critics complain that consumers should know whether a person praising a product is being paid to praise the product. Knowing this makes a big difference: we expect the truth from people who we believe do not have any motive for misleading us. But with buzzing what you hear is just paid advertising, which may well give a person incorrect information about the buzzed product.
Second, since buzzers pretend they are just private individuals, consumers listen to their endorsements less critically than they should. With advertisements in print or on TV, the consumer is on guard for questionable claims or empty descriptions such as “new and improved.” But when consumers do not know they are being lobbied, they may accept claims they would otherwise be suspicious of. This may suit the manufacturers, but it could really harm consumers. And worst of all is the harmful effect that buzzing is likely to have on social relationships. Once we become aware that people we meet socially may be buzzers with a hidden agenda, we will become less trustful of people in general. So buzzing will result in the spread of mistrust and the expectation of dishonesty.
Both the reading and lecture discuss whether buzzing, new strategy started by company reveal truth about product or not The former argues that buzzing has a lot of misinterpretation and many public wants to ban it, and there are three reasons to doing so, but latter challenges each of these points.
First of all, the author of passage asserts that consumers usually mislead by buzzers, who are just paid by advertising companies by spreading bogus.
However, the professor in lecture contends that this hypothesis does not hold true because company usually hire buzzers to promote authentic product and spread genuine products. In fact, the lecture himself work as a part time and telephone service which he has been promoted is actually good.
Secondly, according to the passage, the expert opined that buzzers usually pretend as single individual person so that they might not have to listen complain from consumers. In contrast, the lecture objects this idea. He supports her argument by presenting the example of himself as buzzers and still listening huge question from consumers about price of products, its quality and so forth. If consumers get appropriate answer, then only they will buy the products.
Finally, the passage claims that buzzers usually breaks the truth of people, so that they will break the chain of civilization by their counterfeit. Nevertheless, like two suggestions before, the professor in his lecture proclaims that this claims is not feasible because buzzers mostly opened with general public. This is because he has also gotten so many praise and trust from people.
