Primitive man seems to have been a rather unsuccessful animal, few in numbers and near the ragged edge of extinction. But gradua

lly the balance shifted. He held his own; then he increased in numbers; then he developed techniques of aggression as well as of protection incomparably more effective than any which nature herself had ever been able to devise before the human mind intervened. Up until then, animals had always been a match, one for another. But they were no match for him. The balance no longer worked .. [T]he time came, only a short while ago, when man's strength, his numbers, and his skill made him master and tyrant. He now dominated the natural world of which he had once been only a part. Now for the first time he could exterminate, if he wished to do so, any other living creature. perhaps even (as we learned just yesterday ) his fellow man ..[W]hat the difference is between nature, however red she may be in tooth and claw, and the terrifying predator who is no longer subject to the limitations she once imposed, can readily be illustrated on the Baja peninsula. In neither case is the story a pretty one. Both involve a ruthless predator and the slaughter of innocents. But nature's far from simple plan does depend upon a coexistence. Man is, on the other hand, the only animal who habitually exhausts or exterminates what he has learned to exploit.

Including fallacies in advertising can be effective but dangerous at the same time. For example, aspirins are advertised through telling people that if they feel tired when they get up in the morning, they should take an aspirin so that they can face the day. This may be effective because a lot of people work  long hours and  feel naturally tired. Besides, they turn on the TV when they get back home in the evening and see these sorts of commercials. They will believe in them since they will have to get up and go to work the following day. However, this may be dangerous because people can develop addiction to drugs.

In my opinion, we should not believe in advertisements. The fact that people feel tired because of their work is a real problem. We can feel identified with that problem but the solution cannot be an aspirin. The advertisement shows us the problem but the solution is dangerous; our health is affected. If our health is the problem, we should see our doctor. Doctors will give us true facts. As a result, we will become better consumers because we will take from the market what is really good for us and we will not believe just in anything. For example , we will just believe in advertisments that show the good effects of eating healthy food and doing exercises.

Which is NOT an example that Gordimer uses to support her main idea?
