Our brains lay between the hands of the advertising companies

Hey there,

Have you been keeping up with the Kardashian waist trainer advertisements, or Ronaldo’s dandruff shampoo advertisements? I sure have NOT, they never end!

We live in a world rife of advertisements, the ‘NEW!’ and ‘Ultra Cool!’ products are constantly shoved in our face and whether we like it or not, they certainly do resonate with our subconscious mind. Advertisements have the capability to shape the individual's mind and impact people’s view of the world on a large scale. Advertisements that latently portray sexism and racism are incredibly egregious, they slyly import fallacious views of the world into the audience’s mind and make them a cultural norm. 

White slender women, tall fit white men, babies with blue eyes and blonde hair, hairless bodies and perfect pearly teeth that is what is normal! The media tells us that this is normal and that we MUST strive to attain these fastidious standards. I feel nothing but antipathy towards companies that seek economic success at the cost of other people's well being. This is an exigent issue that we must be aware of!

Speaking of awareness, advertising companies are aware of the immense power they posses over the minds of the individuals, yet they do not respect that there is sensitivity to the information they put into the world. I think that all advertising companies should be held responsible for all their ignominious advertisements.  Due to that fact that they have proven themselves unworthy of our trust, the law must reinforce this upon all advertising companies and abrogate any advertisements that may harm a certain group in society.

If you still find yourself hesitant towards this issue, have a look at just one of the million unethical advertisements that flood the Internet:

Now I must go cook dinner for my husband, I've spent far too long on the internet and I certainly would not want to get slapped tonight.
