Summary:

This article is about the American fast food-McDonald’s come to the Louvre with French culture. It is not everyone happy about this thing. But French is the biggest market except the United States, and Louvre is the museum which has the most visitors. It is the best way to advertising. They put ancient art and chips together. Many French are angry with that. McDonald’s says there is no plan which date the shop will be set up.

Reaction:

According to this article, the Louvre corporate with McDonald’s to develop economic. It is the final goal. It is really a good idea to make advertisement for McDonald’s, and I believe it will work well. But, for art it is a bad thing. The Louvre is a museum with a long history. It is a symbol of French. The art should be pure. This financial active is damage the art of royalty. Consequently, in 21 century, it is really hard to keep art pure. People always think this after own money. It is difficult to say the activity like this is right or wrong. People should think about this seriously. Most people still believe keep art purity is necessary.

The real art can let people feel comfortable and how beautiful the life is. Now, people have better life, and they think about the worthy of the painting. But art is the thing that can console people on their mind. The worthy of the paintings are invaluable. As same as dancing, it always improve your appreciative level to understand more artistic things and this ability is useful in many ways.

Summary:
In Koenig’s article, he thinks if people have a rational thought, life will get more comfortable. People always consider something in a habitual way. Also, people always too tired to think. Because of this reason, advertisement use the characteristic of people, they are just show the information of the products, they just persuade these to people but no seduction. The popular products make a lot of advertisement. This is the step they must do. And a well-known brand has more experience than its promise.

Reaction:
According to this article, Koenig thinks advertisement is a tool that make people to buy something just because instinctive impulse. I agree with this appoint. My major is advertisement design, so I know, advertisements are the media to send information to everybody and they win by numbers but not quality. Today, advertisements are more and more particular. An advertisement of a product likely to expatiate the product is how useful and how many ways it can be used by people. Actually, they always tell the truth, and play it on television many times. Because when people watch an advertisement, it is not through their brain, the process is just through the vision. Then, as the advertisement plays again and again, they remembered. When they go to the mall to buy something , they usually buy the thing they have already known very well through the advertisement. It is hard to tell that it is good or bad, therefore, the market is accustomed to advertisements, and need it. So, maybe we cannot change this, but we can make advertisement better and more useful.
