Are they telling the truth?

 We have all seen a great advertisement that makes us want to either buy that product or start that diet or vote for that candidate. Regardless the situation, in all of these scenarios we must ask ourselves, are they being honest? Because let's face it, most of them aren't. But that's their job, hidding and twisting the truth a little bit so a possibly harmful thing appears beneficial. 


In this advertisment, we can see a very fit person that's training at this increadible gym that offers a huge variety of classes that promise that will get you in shape. But will they really?


 The thing that this advertisement isn't telling you is that you won't see results right away. They are leading you to believe you'll achieve a similar look to the man shown when in fact his body has years of training, a controlled diet, possible hormon use and certain photo hacks that make it look like that. I am NOT saying people can't look like that without photoshop or hormones but these pictures lead begginers to believe that will be their body in a month.



Another thing we can see that makes this add a little unrealiable is it's grammar. We can see that in this gym there is a special class called "Wheight trainin". I hadn't heard of that maybe that does get you the results you want in two weeks. But I don't thinki it will, good grammar means a reliable source that was checked and approved.


So, joining a gym, regardless of the advertisement, that seems healthy right? But the problem here is that if we believe the fake advertisement, we will be put down by the lack of results in an unreasonable amount of time. This will ultimately lead to us dropping out and thinking we aren't good for this.


So we must learn to differentiate between fact and fake. Otherwise, we could do ourselves harm without even realising.
