TPO 19 integrated essay
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 the conversation discuss about buzzing, a new advertising tactic. However, the student who took a marketing class and also a buzzer as a part-time job disagrees with the reading stated by his marketing professor.

First of all, the article indicated that a person may get incorrect information because these information is given by a paid buzzer. Yet, the student argued that a company gives buzzers products and asks them real feedback instead of just reading the lines. To be more specific, the student stated that customers can get true information about products rather than being deceived.

Second, the passage suggested that people usually do not call into questions about claims provided by buzzers because people do not know buzzers are being paid. However, the student opposes the fact by arguing that people who received the information given by him asked a lot of questions. For example, people question about the prices or services of the cell phones. Therefore, it is not convincing that people believe whatever buzzers say.

Last, the student thinks it is ridiculous that buzzing would hurt the relationship of society. He stated that a company uses buzzing advertisement generally provides good products. Otherwise, they can not gain profits and hire buzzers.

To conclude, the student strongly argue that the article is misleading and give wrong impression about buzzing.
