Begin by describing the cause(s) and effect(s) you found in the paragraph(s) you chose. (2+ sentences)

1. Cause:  Oral history (or narrative) has been almost totally replaced by mass media broadcast.
2. Effect:  Therefore, broadcast communication has become such a fixture in the realms of economic decisions, political outcomes, and moral reasoning.

Connect those cause(s) and effect(s) to consumerism.  How does it affect/relate to consumerism? (2+ sentences)

1. The desire/need for broadcast communication is so great that, even when the US was facing the height of its last temporary economic decline, the money spent on TV advertising was over $50 billion dollars.  Broadcast communication has become one of the biggest forces in the consumerist society, as is shown through the amount of money spent on TV advertising targeting consumers.

Reflect on how the cause(s) and effect(s) of consumerism affect you. (2+ sentences)

1. The constant stream of advertising, whether on TV or on the computer, continually puts new, "improved" products on my radar trying to convince me that the product that I have is somehow faulty or dated. Because of the fact that ads can be personalized based on search history, I am usually easily convinced. The only thing keeping me from spending money on the things advertised is that I have no money to spend on them. And also, you can usually find a cheaper version on Ebay.

E:Telivision is so entrenched in popular culture that we are suprised when we meet people who do not have at least one set.

More consumerism in a product makes them closer in our daily lives. It is hard to imagine now not having a tv growing up.

It relates to the consumerism because more and more people are buying tvs and geting them even deeper into our culture.

They relate to me because I could not even imagine a life without all the fancy tvs. THATS how entrenched it is in popular culture for everyone.]]> 2022-04-12 13:14:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rwood65/vgk3ogv9ob5js563/wish/2140796172 https://padlet.com/rwood65/vgk3ogv9ob5js563/wish/2140805287 1.

e-87% of children aged 4 to 6 are able to turn on the tv without assistance.

giving kids power over TVs, being able to turn them on and change the channel to what they want, will make them get addicted to it and get their parents to buy better ones. This makes the pool of consumers larger and buying more and more sets for kids.

Kids may be less active and productive when they grow up because they spent all their time in front of a screen so they won't be as athletic or smart later in life.]]> 2022-04-12 13:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rwood65/vgk3ogv9ob5js563/wish/2140806428 twebber27 https://padlet.com/rwood65/vgk3ogv9ob5js563/wish/2140806935 cause

It makes people consume more because that is what they are used to. It affects me because we do not know a world without TV and a society shaped around it.

You lose connection to the outside world so you stay inside. You also get more lazy and do not move as much.
