When i think of advertising, i think of it being everywhere. I'll list four places that i spend the most time in, and name things that are trying to market towards someone.
1)My Room:
-posters of bands
-red wing hats/football hats
-all my clothes have logos on them
-my computer has a logo
-Cologne
-books
-i have a U of M blanket
-belts
-calendar
-bottle of water
-shoes
2)School U of M:
-clubs to join
-posters everywhere saying something
-people everywhere talking about anything and everything while wearing an ad to something
-things to buy at the stores
-the food court
-everything you look at is something
3)McCain office i work in:
-everything is political
-everything is republican
4)My buddies apartment:
-posters everywhere advertising drinking and girls
-games/movies everywhere
-beer
-Western ads
-random people passed with stuff on them
-ha ha many interesting things from the night before
Just from some of the places i go to on a regular basis, you can see how much is being advertised and marketed towards me/anyone. I see many of these ads and don't think anything of them mainly because i run into them everyday so I'm kind of immune to them. But i do believe that early on these ads did play a role in what i thought was cool or not.Now thinking about it, they still do. If anyone is to ask you what a normal typical college student does, right off the bat people will say PARTY. This fits the mold of what we as college kids are excepted to do and be like.If i were to say i don't drink of go out, all i do is study and work. Many people would think there's something wrong with me or I'm just a dork. So in my conclusion i do feel that the media is responsible for how people act.
