▐▐▐▐▐The Persuaders: Marketing Culture

Douglas Rushkoff asks, "What happens when advertisers assume the roles of our writers, journalists, and entertainers?" How would you answer him?

If Douglas Rushkoff asked me that question, I would answer by saying that these advertisers would change our writing, and sources of entertainment into a type of advertisement, like how The Persuaders video said that some movies or TV shows were created to advertise a certain product. If all of these sources of entertainment become advertisements, we would start becoming influenced by these ads and maybe slowly, and unconsciously, lose our ability to choose what we want. Also, since advertisers are usually very convincing, theses movies or books can cause the watcher/reader to become influenced to think a certain way, maybe not just of a product, but political views and people too.
