__//**Advertising**//__
"Cha Cha Cha Charmin!" This is what brainwashes a human's mind. The catchy jingle repeats over and over again. Due to so many advertisements nationwide, consumers are giving the advertisers a billion dollars worth of salary each year for unnecessary items.

Ads are displayed to the world in different ways. For instance, ads are put on animals(ads are placed on the mascots of the advertisements in order to represent of what is being sold to the public), the internet, eye-popping billboards, the fattening TV, and even in the sky. It's because of all these advertisements everywhere, marketers are successful in manipulating humans into buying their product.

Marketers are manipulating people in an injustice way. As they show their untruthful advertisements to the world, humans are dialing the numbers of the screen onto the phone. And there, the advertisers have won the control of the person.

Advertisers make people believe something that is not true about their product. This is propaganda, and it makes one believe that the product will really work. But there is always a bad side.

Advertisers want one to consume their products. They make one believe that if you don't get what they are selling, one is not cool. And that's one of the ways teens are manipulated. Advertisers make new products by the second. That way you can spend, spend, and spend!!! A good example is Apple. They're constantly making new electronics, and wanting people to buy them.

Advertising is very convincing. Anyone can get fooled. But there are ways to resist and solve the problems advertisers cause. One decides if they want to keep spending on worthless items, or if they want to help others. Now it's your choice.
