HW 29

We know that many companies is manipulating us by showing us things that they know we like. So if we know this what's the big problem? I feel that main problem is, it's not the way to live life. If it continues, teens will become a advertizment zombie. Not only that, but this type of manipulations messes up teens view on life. They feel they must be sexy to get attention so if they rock something very popular and expensive, then they will feel important. Having that perspective can cause depressions, low self esteem that can stay with a person forever if it gets worst. So companies are not only manipulating us at the moment, they will permantly damage the view of life on a teen if there too blinded to see it by now.

Advertisements should be band for all kids and teens. By the time your an adult, you should know to live your life and what you need and not only have desires for cool things. When your young, your sculptured by ads. They show little girls with barbies and then when you go to school, all the little girls in the school are playing house with barbie. If your the little girl that doesn't have one then your not considered cool. This shows how ads develope our lives over the period of time.

If Companies didn't manipulate teens, then where would people get their styles and ways from? So in a way, advertisements are the glue to cool. It's a win win situation. Teens get what they want and companies get money. So they are manipulating us to think things in a certain way, not really the items.
