Implications of advertisement trends

     An implication of these trends are that the lazy and controllable consumers are more prone to being controlled and rolling with the flow. The more skeptical and thoughtful oriented people are resisting and growing mentally stronger by constantly having to examine through all of the crap advertisers throw at us.
     The ones who don't try to find truth, their own thoughts on a subject matter, and take every advertisement at face value only allow themselves to be spoon fed more and more misinformation. The stereotypes, and sense of pleasure the commercials give to these types of people are supported and cemented into their heads because they offered no resistance or no questioning to the advertisers' logic.
     The ones who are cynical look at advertisements and ask, "what's wrong with this picture," "what don't they want me knowing about the product," or "how are they trying to manipulate me?" By looking deeper they are forced to use critical thinking and (not so common) common sense. Not that investigating into advertisements increases the whole of the intelligence of a person, but it certainly helps train certain parts of the brain.
     The constant spewing of these types of ads increase the divide between  critical and noncritical thinkers. Not that the advertising is the great divider of intelligence, but that it is a smaller part that applies to the every increasing gap between the well thought out people and the non well thought out people.
