The perception of today’s youngsters as media-savvy cynics could hardly be further from the truth. Instead, this
generation of keen consumers may turn witty advertising into an endangered species. Julia Day reports

The youth of today are cynical, media-savvy, seen it all, done it all, wouldn’t-be-seen-dead-in-the-T-shirt types
who appreciate only the most achingly trendy adverts, TV shows and magazines, right? Wrong: that was so last generation.

Today’s youngsters don’t “get” clever ads, are not in the least suspicious of commercials ercials, don’t know the difference between newspapers’ political stances, or TV channels, and they don’t mind admitting it. In short, they are not half as media, marketing and advertising literate as we might have thought, according to new research
commissioned by five media groups – Guardian Newspapers, Channel 4, Carlton Screen Advertising, media buying
agency OMD, and Emap Advertising.

As a result media companies and advertisers are going back to basics to arouse the interest of 15- to 24-year-olds with instant impact messages, plain product pictures, bigger posters, annoying jingles, celebrity endorsements and repetitive ads. Today’s youth are a far cry from today’s thirtysomethings who grew up as commercially-naive kids weaned on the cold war, no national commercial radio, three national TV stations, grant-funded higher education, sponsorship-free Glastonbury festivals and regular strikes and student protests.

Now a lifetime of MTV, the internet, dawn-till-dusk advertising and PlayStation gaming has created a generation
so used to being bombarded with fast-turnover information, they filter it instantly without paying much attention to its meaning. This is a generation of “thoroughbred consumers” says Stuart Armon, managing director of 2cv: research, the company that conducted the so-called Roar research into the media habits of the nation’s youth. “Previous generations were suspicious of advertising, they might have liked ads, but they wouldn’t necessarily buy the product. But this generation has been consuming since they were born. They don’t see any reason to be suspicious,” says Armon.

One young panellist in the focus group research embodied this attitude: “If the advert is good, you think their
product will be good because the more they can spend on advertising, the more money they are obviously getting for
their product.” Armon says the trend has become more pronounced over the seven years that the continuous tracking
study has been running, but has reached a peak in the latest round of interviews with 600 youngsters.

“Advertising is accepted and expected. Young people don’t see anything wrong in being sold to and think that if a product is in a TV ad, it must be good. It’s a myth that they are interested in clever ads – they are not willing to decipher complicated mmessages, they want simple ones.” Many panellists dramatically illustrated this point by revealing they thought Budweiser’s “Real American Heroes” ad, ironically celebrating “Mr foot-long hot dog inventor”, was an ad for hot dogs rather than beer, even though the ad might not be aimed at them.

However, many loved Heineken’s ironic ad featuring Paul Daniels singing Close to You, purely because it made
them laugh. “They are looking for an instant message. If it’s not there, they don’t take any notice. And they literally,
and naively, believe celebrities in ads really use the products they are advertising,” says Armon. A girl panellist from Birmingham commented: “In some of the Nike ads they’ve got all these well-known footballers. You think, ‘Oh my God, they’ve got everybody famous there.’ You think it must be good if they want it.”

The youngsters only read newspapers for the celebrity gossip and sport, rather than news, and couldn’t distinguish between papers’ political stances. They also failed to distinguish between TV channels – they access TV through programmes, not channels, for example watching Sky because The Simpsons is on, not because it’s Sky.

The results of the research deeply worry Sid McGrath, planner at the ad agency that made the infamous “You’ve
been Tango’ed” ads, HHCL and Partners. But they do not surprise him. “My worry is that the youth of today are not
being called upon to flex their intellectual muscles enough,” he says.

“There is instant gratification everywhere – in food it’s Pot Noodles or vending machines, even their pop icons are one-dimensional figures delivered on a plate. Young people are living vicariously through other people’s lives and are not asking for much at the moment. A lot of stimulation is ‘lean back’ – it doesn’t require as much involvement as it used to.”

He says advertising is changing as a result: “Lots of the most popular ads at the moment are happy, clappy, fun.
Easy to digest. They’ve got notice or inclination to decode ads.” One reason behind the shift, McGrath believes, is that young people want relief from the traumas of real life: “Advertising is becoming the opium of the masses rather
than the educator.”

16. Research shows that, compared with the previous generation, young people today are _____.
A. less perceptive B. more sensitive C. more worldly-wise D. better informed
17. In paragraph 3, the word ‘stances’ is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. attitudes B. situations C. functions D. places

18. According to new research by five media groups, today’s youngsters are _____.
A. able to understand the language of advertising
B. unable to ‘read’ the messages in the many forms of advertising
C. bright enough to do some research before buying something
D. a bit wary of adverts
19. Advertisements aimed at the present young generation _____.
A. are using a variety of new techniques B. are technologically sophisticated
C. are making use of old techniques D. are becoming more subtle
20. It can be inferred that celebrity endorsements are advertisements _____.
A. that show viewers how to become famous
B. that famous people like watching
C. where famous people say they use and like certain products
D. where viewers are invited to take part in a phone-in progra e
21. Young people seem to believe that costly advertising _____.
A. makes no difference to the popularity of the product B. is the mark of a good quality product
C. means the product is probably overpriced D. does not inspire customer confidence
22. According to Stuart Armon, youngsters today pay more attention to an advert _____.
A. if its message is i ediately obvious B. if it is on their favorite TV channel
C. if it gives them something to think about D. if it has a witty element
23. Sid McGrath is concerned that young people these days _____.
A. are encouraged to eat too much B. are given too many choices
C. are not required to drink D. do not get enough exercise
24. The author uses the phrase ‘living vicariously’ in the penultimate paragraph to mean that young people _____.
A. want to become more sophisticated than other people
B. do not imitate people around the
C. do not rely on their own feeling or senses to understand the world around the
D. want to be independent of other people
25. According to McGrath, many advertisements today are adapting to satisfy youngsters’ desire to _____.

In the United States, it is important to be on time , or punctual , for an appointment , a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness．Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.
The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation：at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively．He gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend，the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time，On the other hand．the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes．
In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour．In contrast, in Brazil，neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour．Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States，but also end at the scheduled time．In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12：00；many remained past 12：30 to discuss the class and ask more questions．While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late.

The explanation for these differences is complicated. People from Brazilian and North American cultures have different feelings about lateness. In Brazil, the students believe that a person who usually arrives late is probably more successful than a person who is always on time. In fact , Brazilians expect a person with status or prestige to arrive late, while in the United States lateness is usually disrespectful and unacceptable. Consequently, if a Brazilian is late for an appointment with a North American, the American may misinterpret the reason for the lateness and become angry.

As a result of his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not being disrespectful to him. Instead, they were simply behaving in the appropriate way for a Brazilian student in Brazil. Eventually, the professor was able to adapt his own behavior so that he could feel comfortable in the new culture.

A. True/False Statements:

1. On the first day of class, the professor arrived
late.
2. All the students in the class were on time.
3. The professor decided to study the behavior
of Brazilian and American students.
4. In an American university, it is important to be
on time.
5. In a Brazilian class, the students leave
imme diately after the class is fi nished.
6. In an American university, many students probably
leave immediately after the class is fi nished.
7. Most North Americans think a person who is late
is disrespectful.
8. In Brazil, most successful people are expected to
be on time.
9. As a result of the study, the professor changed
the Brazilian students’ behavior.
