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.
The lecturer and the reading are both about the necessity of banning buzzing due to harmful effect on the consumer. whereas the reading claims that the buzzing is controversial and affect detrimentally society, the lecturer states that the buzzing have not those negative facets as shown in the passage. The speaker casts doubt on the main points made in the passage by providing very logical and compelling reaosns cogently.
First of all. according to the reading, the consumer need to know whether the buzzer is being paid or not for raising the buzz product so that can know about the motives of the person to whom they trust. However, the lecturer says that the claim mention in the passage is rediculous as they always posits thruth while they are telling about the product. Furthermore, he mentions that people who do buzzing praise the good product what they ecperience well enough.
Secondly, the reading claims that people, who pretend to be private, get trusted by the consumer without the critical evaluation. Nevertheless, the lecturer refutes the claim. he points out that people ask a myriad of the question regarding the product; they ask about the question about the products' price, service and buzzers opinion about how long it will last. In addition, people will get information all about the product even they sought ot believe the person before its purchase.
Lastly, the reading posits that the disingenuous nature of buzzer may ruin the relationship with their relative. On the other hands, the lecturer dismisses the blame by saying that buzzers only sell the product which is good in quality otherwise the company may unable to pay for the buzzer. Moreover, the lecture feels that the quality of the product is very good enough to advertise b y the person and what they say is always truth about the product by their own experience.
