Given the way our society is becoming more and more ad-focused, I have started to think that marketing should be taught to more people earlier. My first marketing class was a 300-level elective in my junior year of college, and it was invaluable in understanding the subtle ways advertisement is meant to reel you in, and how nobody is truly unaffected by advertisement, no matter how much they think they are.



Anecdotal, but my 17yo is currently taking a marketing class in high school. I don’t not how much media literacy that includes.


Unless they're using uBlock of course.
