Maybe if we started thinking for ourselves and stopped listening to what advertisements told us, we'd realize that nobody ever really gave a shit. As we talked about in class today, we live in a corporate world. So much of our lives are based on the misconceptions that advertisements give. for example many people mainly females are under the misconception that "Eyeshadow and long lashes make you more pretty." But Seriously, who even looks at eyelashes maybe I'm the only one but they're certainly not something that I notice.
whenever I take a step back and consider these things people do such as, why wear tight pants? Why gel your hair? Why wear makeup that makes you look plastic and Fake? Why the hell are people buying clothes with holes already in them? The reason to me is because advertisements portray a world that without these things you're behind on the times, that you're not attractive, that you wont be part of the "in crowd." This is not so hard to believe though. Advertisements are around ever corner, they are television and magazines and movies etc. All it takes in a few people to start using these products and to start walking around and showing them off to cause chain reaction that spreads through the general public until it has been declared a norm. Recent generations have now been raised into a world of personal insecurity all due to the delusion that people have been put in by advertisements.
