Commidy Self

Like chapter 7 says, we are influenced on a daily basis by advertisements. We see them everywhere. Sometimes we don't even know we were bein influenced. Advertisement companies have invested mass amounts of money to market their products in a way to make consumers feel that they need that product. Everything we do and buy, for the most part, is largely influenced by advertisements. As we talked about in class, advertisements can also create a problem that wasn't relevant, so they can make a problem to "fix" that problem. The Lifebuoy ad promoted their soap and introduced body odor, something people weren't concerned about until this ad. So as consumers of theses products, I would agree that we are in fact products of products, whether it is what we are wearing, what foods we buy, or what car we buy; we are influenced by advertisements and buy into that product.
