ORDER YOUR PAPER AND GET QUALITY FOR YOUR MONEY

Americans are swimming in a sea of messages. Each year, legions of ad people, copywriters, market researchers, pollsters, consultants, and even linguists—most of whom work for one of six giant companies—spend billions of dollars and millions of man-hours trying to determine how to persuade consumers what to buy, whom to trust, and what to think. Increasingly, these techniques are migrating to the high-stakes arena of politics, shaping policy, and influencing how Americans choose their leaders.Thanks to social media, today’s teens can directly interact with their culture — artists, celebrities, movies, brands, and even one another — in ways never possible. But is that real empowerment? Or do marketers still hold the upper hand?Pick a video from the links to watch, enter the 1st post your opinions about the video you watched.
