(2) Also comment to the following response (other’s answers to the first task you just did):
1. The main argument of the article “Katie Couric and Celebrity Medicine Syndrome” by Julia Belluz and Steven J. Hoffman is that people are willing to believe celebrities, even though these celebrities are not a professional in said trade.
2. “Classical conditioning suggests that we learn to psychologically associate unrelated stimuli in a way that exposure to them achieves similar responses. This means warm feelings toward celebrities are stirred up in us by the things they pitch. It’s no surprise, then, that PepsiCo paid Beyoncé $50 million to promote its products.” (¶7)This is a extremely strong piece of evidence. Pepsi wouldn’t pay Beyoncé that kind of money to endorse if they weren’t expecting a greater return.
3. The comprise of this article is “Recognizing that it is a human vulnerability and a serious public health challenge” (¶10). by doing this people would think before they follow other celebrities.
4. If you were a celebrities, did you take a responsibility to the public for the products that you endorse?
