"Vested Interest, Case: Mad Men"

During thinking skills class with, Maria Brito Evans, we saw a video of the serie, mad men where cigarettes advertisement were discussed, after arguing about it we were told to do a series of questions to analyse the topic.

1. Found some of the vested interests in this scene. How do these work?

2. Why is Peter's idea rejected, and why is Don's idea accepted?

1)     There is Vested interest when Don explains his idea, he keeps metioning how harmless and good for people is (makes them happy), while is the other why around, because it make you dependable of it, and can cause a lot of health problems. He is avoiding the important details of what cigarettes really cause so that they accept his idea. 

         Another example of Vested Interest is when the businessmen reject Peters ideas, because they              realise that they wouldn't win any profit with that and it wasn`t convinient for their company.

2)    Don`s idea was accepted was because during his presentation, he never mention the real and dangerous consequencesof cigarettes, instead, he introduced it as something that could led to a healthy life leting people by the product without any worries. But, Peter mentions the consequences of smoking, so as making people aware of the deathly damege that cigartettes produse is not good for their business they decided to refused his idea.

Un advertising tobacco companies do not show the negative aspect of smoking, or the consequences. Moreover, the people advertizing the cigarettes are young and healthy, so, the make people think that they will look that way, and that it is a good habit, when in reality, is the other way around. Furthermore the people shown smoking are often athletes un open spaces, but smoking is really bad forma sports.

The tobacco companies can not tell the truth un their advertizing because they would loose millions of dollars sin se probable many people do not know the consequences of smoking and if  their were shown in advertizing or in the packaging people would be more aware and scared which would lead to them stop consuming. Also, many scientists riscks their carrera by working for these companies so they do not want the truth out
