Everytime you turn on the tv you are irritated with commercials, but somehow they seem to catch your eye. Media has really began to effect our economy, it's everywhere we go including: billboards, magazines and newspapers. These are in every aspect of our lives and it continues to influence how we think. People's opinions is what really matters of what "popular" is in todays society. Everybodys always looking for the new next thing. Diversity seems to be rare today in this world, "we've gone from living in a natural world to living in a manufactured one." Living in the postmodern world has changed the outlook on life. We are suppose to be a civilized country, but everything seems homosized now a days and there are no individualized personalities.
An sample of "It's gotta be the cheese" it states that we are wrapped in plastic, meaning we are "wrapped" together in a "plastic" or in other words fake society. Also in Culture Jam, in the ecology of the mind section it states we are annoyingly self-aborbed hypocrites, because we say we want to be different and individual but in reality we are all the same. Have you ever stopped and wondered what this world would be like if popularity never existed? If the economy wasn't in control, what would influence our opinions? We no longer think for ourselves, the media thinks for us. The environment we're surrounded by mentally effects us. The economy proves to show health effects for poor people can only afford the dollar menu verses health vegtables at weis. These meassages we are being sent are absurd and citizens should take a stand for we are suppose to be treated equal right? but now we strive to simply fit in with eveyone else.
