When you see an advertisement of the newest and coolest cell phone on TV, on a billboard or in a newspaper or magazine.do you wish that you can somehow convince your parents to buy it for you? that is an example of the power of the advertising industry.
this industry was created by as manufactures tried to convince consumers to buy their products. the turning point came around in the 1980's when TV became very common. since then, advertisement and commercials have been selling the idea that happiness can be achieved by "going shopping" and constantly consuming all sorts of goods and services. unfortunately, don't realize that this "happiness" is very short-lived. advertising exposes everyone to the stress of constantly wanting new products while never being happy with the ones they have. To make matters worse, people are unaware of the strain our planet is under as a consequence of this obsessive consumerism.
