Genre Analysis


The Bad Influence of Fast Food: Genre Analysis of a Documentary and a Newspaper Article

Fast food advertising and restaurants are almost everywhere. People can find advertisements and/or restaurants in magazines, newspapers, television, websites, radio, etc. However they are not always informed about the bad influence and bad consequences fast food causes to their health. Not all advertisements informed or showed the public on true facts or the negative issues regarding the fast food, since fast food advertising campaigns are not as highly regulated as other products.  Most fast food restaurants focus on children and students as they make an important market for them. The bad influence of fast food regards health problems, including obesity, as well as economic issues regarding the community’s income. Schools, parents, physicians, the actual restaurants and other health institutions have to communicate the audience with information of the bad influence of fast food, providing information of why it is not recommended to consume fast food or junk food on a daily basis.
