I think that advertisment effects everybody including me. Many dont realize this, but they have cars, products, clothe that is on TV. Just like Toyota Prius for examples, when it came out just about everybody started buying it, then one year later there were many other hybrid cars that came out and people were getting mad because the new ones were better then the Prius. This is how advertismend effects us. We are the most consumerist country in the world, and many dont realize it and that is how advertismend effects us. Many go out and buy the first things they see on Tv that looks appealing to them. But that is the mistake we make. People should always research what they buy and if its worth the price they pay.
I know that i am effected by advertismend but i look at it in a artistic point of view. I enjoy looking at different ads and commercials because i am facinated by the techniques and the artistic ablities they have and use with in the ads. But many of us are not effected the same as i am when they look at the commercials. Most of the country looks at the commercials and advertisment and dont realize that the companies that pay for the advertismend are just trying to move product. Society is deeply effected by media, ads and advertisments. Another examples would be ED Hardy, the one designers that is so terrible but his clothe is expensive and none artistic, it has no style and its worth alot of money that many are willing to pay. I simply think its sad and disgusting how the society is ruled by ads and new fashion designers, new cars that will be even better next year. People just want to have fansy expensive things, and it doesnt make sense to me why. Why would you buy something like Ed Hardy? This guy has no style, and he is making a lot of money on air headed guys and girls that dont understand that they are just buying 3 dollars shirts that cost 60 dollars just because of the name on it.
Its sad....
