Political and social advertising as objects of
sciences
Abstract. This article
reveals deals with the importance and place of
contemporary advertisement of Kazakhstan as social phenomena. Coming of advertisement into
the life of society gave the opportunity to express opinions which are rich in
content. Political
advertizing is an advertizing of political parties (associations), public
authorities, the state and public organizations and certain citizens taking
part in political activity: their actions, ideas, programs and relation to any
organizations, events, citizens, ideas. Social advertizing - a type of the noncommercial
advertizing directed on change of models of a public conduct and drawing
attention to problems of society
Key words: advertisement, political
advertizing, social advertizing
The
stem of this concept is connected with verb «reklamare – to shout» from Latin language. The verb
«advertise» was widely used in XIX
century. In XY – XYI centuries it had
definition like «narration» in Oxford dictionary. Romanic
languages (French, Italian and Spanish) have definitions like «publicite» (fr.), «publicitad» (sp.), and we translate it
like «zharnama» (Kazakh). There are two attitudes
toward the advertisement in the West. Especially philosophy scientists and
sociologists had negative estimation. They considered that it is the mechanism
of manipulation of people’s mind. But
there were scientists who had positive attitudes.
Policy
and economics are in close connection. For example large economic structures,
corporations, associations influence on activities of political power, they
support certain politician and help to make his own decisions. Also the
politician should realize changes of society and feel the market conjuncture as
a businessman. That’s why the methods and technologies which used successfully
in economics are used in policy as will. In his book T. Parsons showed close
connection between the policy and the economics [1].
American
scientist, Giankarlo Buzzi: «Advertising information works for ideology and tries
to join the opinion and the behaviour. It is a tool of policy and it builds the
characteristic of society. Before saying about advertisement we should pay
attention to matters about social morals or ideology». The famous German philosophy
scientist Erich Fromm says: «Advertisement does not influence on mind, it
influences on feelings. As hypnosis it does not try to influence upon its
objects by power of intellectual energy. There is an element of dream in
advertisement like this it causes sense of satisfaction like movies» [2].
Jack
Segela, one of the best specialists in political communications said: «Nowadays the advertisement is
not only the source of trade. It is the word of policy, social relations and
humanity». He advises
candidates and organizers of elections to keep to his own 8 principles:
1.People
vote for a person, not for party.
2.People
vote for idea, not for ideology.
3.People
vote for the future, not for the past.
4.People
vote for social opinions, not for political ones.
5.People
vote for legendary person, not for untalented one.
6.People
vote for destiny, not for accustomed things.
7.People
vote for victory, not for defeat.
8.People
vote for values which come true, not for uncomprehensible values [3].
The analysis
of current trends of development of public communication shows that experts in
this sphere even more often address to such tool, as social advertizing. Defining
social advertizing as a form of the mass communication which substantial basis
is information on social problems of the society, addressed to the big mass of
people, for the purpose of stimulation of their civil, socially approved
activity in line with moral values traditional for this society, it is possible
to allocate the main components defining administrative opportunities of social
advertisement communications.
Among the
most significant, it is possible to specify the following: formation of public
opinion; drawing attention to actual problems of public life; activization of
actions according to their decision; formation of the positive relation to the
state structures; strengthening of socially significant institutes of civil
society; change of behavioural model of society.
Nowadays
it is impossible to imagine the political life without mass media, especially
without advertisement. Mass media is the concrete and obvious tool of power. It
means the way to get the power is to rely on the trusted mass media. Newspaper
and magazines, tele-radio broadcasting, computer networks can regulate social
and political behavior, psychological hope and ways of thinking. Advertisement
has following political and social functions in society: 1) Informative – to get,
format and spread the information about important work of political system’s
elements. 2) Educational – to give information which increases the knowledge
got in the objects of education. 3) Socialization – to assimilate political
norms, values and examples of behavior. 4) Criticism and control – to form the
thoughts and opinions in political-social area [4].
