(3,557 posts)29. From something I read, advertising is significantly more effective on younger people than old
The older we get, the more set in our ways and habits we tend to become. Once people start buy a certain brand, they usually stick with it forever. That true all the way from toothpaste to shoes and automobiles.
What youre saying makes a lot of sense regarding American society. We as a whole are so fixated on consumerism and making as much money as possible that we lose sight on the social impacts and whats really important to us.

Wonderful post. American culture driven by youth advertising conceals what other nations know.
