billboards : 아래와 같이 생긴 옥외광고판

 

1. Should we ban advertising in the cities? 

IIn my opinion, kicking ads in the cities is not a great idea. First, ads in the cities such as billboards give us information. For example, we can know the figures and traits of newly produced car by looking at ads. Second, advertising is an important source of revenue for many cities.

 

2. Should companies be allowed to advertise in schools?

Advertising in schools should be forbidden. Because by allowing ads on school grounds, there is a risk of promoting negative values and ideas associated with the advertised product. For instance, with constant exposure to the advertisement of unhealthy foods, kids can have a positive attitude to those foods and have bad eating habits.

 

3. Are you a risk taker or do you like to stay away from risks? 

I prefer to stay away from risks than embrace the risk. I admit that the sentence "High risk, high return." but sometimes you can lose a lot if you take a risk. There are many variables that you cannot control in the world and you cannot get the best result that you want all the time. Since I don't want to experience serious failure, I would like to choose stable options in my life.

5. Would you embrace fear if it leads to success? 

 

 

6. Is it essential for leaders to embrace fear and embrace risk?
