Advertising

Commercialization
Advertising a very interesting thing to think about. Studying the drawing techniques behind cults is sometime used by advertisements agencies. The advertisement companies claim that people buy certain products do the mere exposure effects and because they long to be part of a group and when the feeling of this desire is inevitably not fulfilled they must go shopping and continue the vicious cycle. I have problem believing that every product we buy is simply in order to fit in and to belong. I also acknowledge that I am probably not aware of the huge effects that advertising has on all of us. I wonder if one is able to live in contemporary, civilized society and not be affected by advertisements. They are everywhere; even at the bottom of golf holes.
