 I think that using children in advertisements is not okay, because young kids can’t really decide if they want to do that or not, it’s their parents decision. Children don’t get any profits from participating in commercials. The ones who actually get some benefits are the parents, because they receive money from it, even though it’s usually not much. When kids who were used in advertisements become older, they can feel embarrassed or uncomfortable and generally, they can be unhappy about that. Overall, I think it’s just unethical to use small kids for something they can’t fully understand and decide by themselves.

 Admitting that we’ve been wrong is so hard, because of our society. We are constantly being judged for everything we do and if we make a mistake, we are often being laughed at – and obviously nobody likes that feeling. That’s why admitting that we’ve been wrong scares us. That is a real problem, because if we don’t admit our mistake, we can’t learn on it. From our early childhood we were taught that making mistakes is wrong and we were often punished for that. All that leads us to thinking that it is better to pretend we’re right rather than admit that we’re wrong – and that is obviously not true.

In my opinion, most people usually root for the underdog, because we like excitement, unexpected results rather than the obvious outcome. Underdog is a person that is considered to be weak, thought to be a loser. I think that many people can actually relate to the underdog, connect with this person and that’s why we really want them to win, to defeat the opponents. The victory of the person who wasn’t expected to win at all, shows us that everything is possible, that dreams really come true. Also, when the underdog wins, this victory is usually an unforgettable experience unlike the win of a person who was expected to win from the very beginning.
