시리아의 수도 다마스쿠스 외곽의 시아파 사원에서 계획된 테러 시도가 사전에 저지되었습니다. 2011년부터 시작된 시리아 내전은 최근 정치적 변화를 겪고 있습니다. 지난해 12월 8일, 바샤르 알아사드 정권에 대항하는 시리아 반정부군이 임시정부를 수립했으며, 이후 많은 국가들이 새로운 시리아 정부와 외교 관계를 재개하고 있습니다. 이번 테러 저지는 '온건' 이슬람주의를 추구하는 반정부군의 노력으로 평가됩니다. <br>

Advertising is almost everywhere. There are advertisements on the radio, the TV, newspapers, magazines, billboards, and online. Whether people are aware of it or not, advertising affects their daily lives. The things being advertised sell different ideals that companies want consumers to buy into. For instance, skin care products intended for women sell an ideal type of beauty. They prescribe an ideal feminine. For a woman to be beautiful, she has to adopt a certain skin care regimen that promises to make her skin fairer, smoother, and blemish-free. Most skin care product advertisements promise that once a woman achieves beautiful skin, she will become more confident and desirable. With this confidence, she will become anyone she wants to be. Similarly, products that promote machismo help shape men’s concept of an ideal masculine. For instance, sports apparel companies not only attempt to attract men to buy their products. They also prescribe a certain body type that adheres to the concept of an ideal masculine through the use of male models who have well-chiseled abs and well-toned arms, to name a few. Advertising also helps shape people’s perceptions about certain concepts. Generally, companies want people to know that if they buy into the ideals that are prescribed by a certain concept, they will become happy or successful. One concept that is often influenced by advertising is happiness. Most advertisements say that if people buy a certain product or experience, they will be happy. For example, advertisements imply that if people buy the latest smartphone, they not only buy a product but also an experience that will allow them to see the world through a single device. Advertising can affect people differently, but its effects on their lives are more serious than they think. People form their individual identities around the different ideals that advertisements sell. As people form their identities, they indirectly shape the kind of society they live in starting from the roles that men and women take on to the things that people say will make them happy. Knowing the workings of advertising inside out should not make people cynics. Opening their eyes to the effects of advertising in their lives does not mean shutting their eyes to advertisements. It only means that people should be more conscious of the ideals that they buy into. People should remember that being patrons of certain products help companies perpetuate certain standards that societies often unquestioningly adopt.
