Whether many would prefer to admit or not, advertising has changed society- modifying the way Americans think and act in today's day and age, though not entirely for the better. Over the years, the wants and luxuries of Americans have progressively changed into their "needs", caused by the numerous persuasive advertisements that convince the viewers that their life would drastically improve if only they had the said product. As Sesana states, "they create unfulfilled desires... to buy products we don't need", referring to the strategies used by advertisers to create a driving want to self-indulge for the customers (Source F). Separate groups are targeted in different ways in order to appeal to the different wants of each group, thus making the want that much stronger (Source H). These tactics summon a sense of need that, in turn, cause people to believe whole-heartedly that the product is a necessity, however, in reality, it is merely a luxury.

They attempt to persuade readers to buy a product/viewpoint using the same kinds of appeals authors use when constructing a written argument.
Making their products available in big box chains as well as local specialty shops allows convenience for both casual and more dedicated players, and their advertisements in sporting events, magazines, and online serve to get the brand name more attention than any other method. It's far more likely for people to stumble upon an ad than to follow a specific celebrity or physically attend an event. As for what Prince can do better, simplification is the key. Prince makes a point of targeting a few demographics and sub-demographics, and has a lot of products to consider. All that information would be overwhelming for the average consumer.

Thought-provoking, benefits-based messages are more meaningful. Awareness raising is only the first step in a campaign to change behaviour in our care setting.

Over time, propaganda has been difficult to set apart from other forms of persuasion as it ultimately is created to persuade the viewer to feel a certain way about a certain thing, person or situation. Direct, mass media channels ultimately inundate the person being persuaded, evoking certain feelings and emotions. No matter what method is used for its distribution, propaganda is a communication process that has proven to be extremely effective over time.
