Advertising=s main goal is to persuade. They want us to see the American way through their eyes. They tell us what to eat, drink, wear, drive, and think. Advertisers start this form of brainwashing on us at a very early age. They lay the groundwork of ideals early on because it is easy to persuade a child. Now, with the two income family, children are left to interpret not only advertisements but television programming as well without supervision.

She is not human, she cannot talk and automatically she becomes the scapegoat, to the whole reason why women who are getting plastic surgery or even dying their hair blonde, or are unhappy with their body image. Maybe it's the reason; maybe it's not. I ...

... the brain gathers well over halt its external information through the eyes. On a spiritual level, however, is endowed with much greater significance. Buddha implored us to seek 'inner light"; Jesus Christ crowned himself "the light of the world"; Ancient Egyptians abandoned mere metaphor and literally worshipped the sun.
