Buy More Stuff

Have you ever thought how media (in any form) has a very large influence on your purchases, and what you do as a person? On TV, you may be influenced (with no knowledge) to order and buy a pizza from a particular establishment, convinced to join a certain gym (because of the healthy-looking actress/model), buy an outfit that you saw because you are convinced you would look as delightful in it as the older woman on TV, and just because the actors on TV got relief from the knee brace advertised you feel it could be of great assistance to you.
Advertisers have done extensive surveying (and testing) on how to advertise products to where you will order them as quickly as possible. The movie channels that everyone knows of are experts in squeezing every possible tear out of their viewing audience even if you are not a big crier.

Remember, you are the one that makes the ultimate choice of being influenced by the media, or having your emotions influenced (negatively or positively) one way or the other. Remember, you have all the power. It’s true.
