Where ever you go, in today’s society we are swamped with ads. Every day we are faced with thousands of ads. It’s become a part of our daily lives and we are undoubtedly influenced by them. They push us to try their new fish sandwich, or what the latest fall fashion is, or even what toilet tissue is more “productive/efficient”. Of course these are there jobs, and they also have families to provide for and live their lives, but it is also conditioning our society to life by what the media says is “right” or the “best”. Did those advertising companies ever think about those families who can’t afford to eat out, while their mouths are drooling for the mouth watering Olive Garden commercial. Or that little boy, whose the only boy on his block without the latest model of the x-Box 360, because his can’t manage to pay for it. These give those individuals, who are just as equal and have just as many rights, the belief that they are someway missing out. So, the one problem that I could come up in faulting the advertising companies is their tactics. Which are, that they pressure people to strive for what they cannot have. But on the other hand, that’s just a part of our day by day lives and something that we have to deal with.
