Several people feel the need to act how others do to feel accepted, because of the effect that advertising produces. When they see what others are doing, they believe it’s “cool” and want to participate as well. They don’t consider the consequences when they see the advertisements, since only one aspect is shown, considering the use of propaganda. For example, in Source B the advertisement of cigarettes show why they were so popular, considering they caused damage to your health. The companies were able to make the consumer try smoking because they targeted what the consumer enjoyed. It states in Source B, “it promoted the continued social acceptability of smoking and encouraged the incorrect belief that the majority of people smoke”(line 9).
