Protecting yourself from Advertising
Advertising affects us more than we think it does. They are masters of manipulation. I'm sure you've watched a TV commercial for a certain candy bar and 30 minutes later you start thinking you'd like a candy bar. Advertisers want you to feel like you are not enough. You aren't good looking enough so you need their cream or body wash. You aren't sophisticated enough so you need their watch. You aren't sexy enough so you need their car. How can we protect ourselves from these messages?
