What communist propaganda did to people in the east is exactly the same what advertisement is doing to people in the west.

That’s a great point!
With today’s technology, internet... there is just no way to avoid it. Even though if you refuse to listen to them, they will always find another way to catch your interest. You may not need this stuff they say “you become a looser if you don’t have it”, but then eventually they will find out your interests in something else. They know people have their needs and need to satisfy them. At some point it brings happiness to people when they buy things they wouldn’t buy if it wasn’t for advertising. With increased advertising our needs have increased as well. Without it we wouldn’t need most of this staff, with it we are under perception of material need. At the end advertisements have it’s positive and at the same time negative impact on today’s generation. Afterall it’s only about the money.
