One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is of course the voice of the advertisers. Its strident clamour dominates our lives. It shouts at us form the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; plucks at our sleeves on the esclator; signals to us from the roadside billboards all day and flashes messages to us in coloured lights all night. It has forced on us a whole new concception of the successful man as a man no less than20% of whose mail consists of announcements of giant carpet sales.

Advetising has been among England’s biggest growth industries since the war, in terms of the ratio of money earnings to demonstrable achievement. Why all this fantastic expenditure?

Perhaps the answer is that advetising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer. At the stage of desiging and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without worring over whether anybody will want to buy is . The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problens of man –hours and machine tolerances and stress factors .So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness. If the advertising a gency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is in clover.

Other manufacturers find advertising saves them changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one which goes on unchanged for ever. If, therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration seems called for –how much better to change the image, the pachker or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of chaning the product itself.

The advertising man has to combine. The great skill required of all , is the skill of getting people to believe in and contribute money to something which can never be logically proved . At the Bar , an essential ability is that of presenting the most persuasive case you can to a jury of ordinary people ,wih emotioal appeals masquerading as logical exposition; a case you do not necessarily have to believe in Medicine, any doctor will confirm that a large part of his job is not clinial treatment but faith healing. His apparently scientific approach enables his patients to believe right, just as advertising does- “ Run down? You need…” “No one will dance with you ? Adab of *****will make you popular.”

Advertising men use statistice rather like a drunk uses a lamp –post –for support rater than illumination. They will dress anyone up in a white coat to appear like an unimpeachable authority or , failing that, they will even be happy with the announcement, “As used by 90% of the actors who play doctors on television” Their engaging quality is that they enjoy having their latest ruses uncovered almost as much as anyone else.

XIII . Read the following passage and then fulfill the requireaents which follow.

Even the social scientist who is occupied with the study of what are called institutions must draw his ultimate data(with one important exceptioned below)from the experience of the senses. Suppose, for instance, that he is engaed on a study of the role of trade unions is contempoary England . The abstract conception ‘ trade union’ is simply a shorthand for certain types of behavior by certain people, of which we can only be aware by sensory perception, It means men sitting in a room and making certain sounds in the conduct of a ‘trade union meeting’, or handing over to other persons tangible objects (money ) as their subscriptions to the union, Anyone who have in their turn heard or seen records of such observations made by others).Even such comments on a union meeting as that it was ‘ orderly’ or ‘ peaceful’ are fundamentally statements about its physical properties; an orderly meeting is presumably one in which people do not make noises by banging upon the table or speaking very loudly
This dependence of social studies upon sense perception is certainly a wholesome reminder of the fundamental homogeneity of the original data of science. For knoledge of the external world, whether of things of people, we continually come back to our five sense in the end . Nevertheless, if a great mass of data relevant to social science is sensory, we have, I thinks, also to admit an important collection that is not –namely the whole body of primary mental or psychological experience, Perception of mental pleasure and pain appears to have the same universality as sensory experience. At all levels of culture, sensations of simple happiness and unhappiness are as general as are the experiences of seeing and hearing. It is of course true that no person can experience the feelings of anyone other than himself ;but equally no one can see with another’s eyes or hear with another’s ears. The grounds for belidf in the sense experiences of other people and the grounds for belief our conviction that other people experience emotion from the fact that they say so, and fromanalogies between their behavior and our own: we derive our conviction hat they see and hear from exactly tha same evidence.
The irresistibility of psychological experience is perhaps slightly more disputable . If one’s eyes are open and one loods in certain quarter one cannot help seeing Is it equally true that one cannot help a feeling of pleasure or pain or shock or excitement? Essentially, I should asy that it is . But it is clear that primitive emotional reations can be inhibited:one can, for example contrive not to be deressed by an event Nevertheless, if we stand back from all philsophical niceties and ask ourselves whether psychological sensation ought to be omitted from the data of the social sciences on the ground that it is doubtfully ‘ primitive , there cannot, I think , be much doubt about the answer, We must conchude with Bertrand Russell ‘ that there is knowledge of private data, and there the similaritise or the differences, in this matter or the differences, in this matter or universality-plus-irresistibility, between psycholoical and sensory experience are the more impressive, we are surely bound to come down on the side of the similarities .Certainly social studies which consistently ignored human feelings would be worse than laughable.
