​Media Influence on Social Pressure



Over time there have been more and more consumer ads being produced and published. Along with that there has been more and more of an increasing trust of the sources that those ads are being received through. Individuals are becoming comfortable with the constant online ads, television commercials, and brilliant billboards. In the 24/7 world that we live in consumers are constantly faced with new and improved products. Aside from the advertisement of products, the media portrays an almost euphoric society. Movies, magazines, and even toys portray that it is "in" to be hip, trendy, and have the latest gadgets. This targets individuals of every age group to support billion dollar industries, since of course no one wants to be caught without the latest fad, by giving in and buying everything from cell phones, to handbags, to iPods, to snuggies.
