The 1920’s saw a shift in culture no other era had experienced thus far due to the growth and dominance of advertising. Technological inventions of this century, such as the radio, the billboard, and the magazine, brought ideas and information to people in new ways, impacting the entire social lifestyle of the time. Peoples live were suddenly filled with voices and signs telling them exactly what to buy and what they should. The happy-go-lucky and ‘nothing to lose’ persona encompassing the citizens of the time only fueled their decisions to go ahead and buy these offered products. Items were being offered that had never been on the market before such as refrigerators, telephone sets, cookers, the Model T by Henry Ford, and an endless amount of domestic hardware and commodities.

Michael White Book Review GAPE A Critical analysis of Wiebe’s Search for Order: 1877-1920 Wiebe, Robert H. The Search for Order:1877-1920. New York: Hill and Wang, 1967. The Search For Order: 1877-1920, by Robert H. Wiebe, tells the story of America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It picks up at the end of Reconstruction and as American society is beginning to undertake a change much different than the recent Civil War and it's aftermath. In fact, Wiebe argues that this change is so rapid and reaches so many facets of society that it leaves the country in a state of confusion, doubt, and unsureness about itself and the coming future.
While in the modern world advertising is much more accessible and very heavily abundant in day to day life, the promises and big talk of the new world during the early stages of America were just as effective in encouraging the progression of a “countercultural idea” running rampant through the soon to be citizens of our new nation. According to Thomas Frank, this idea was nothing new and seems to constantly exist where any sort of striving for personal gain is present. Starting in the ‘60s and continuing on in to the current day and age, it seems our society is spinning in a perpetual “rock ‘n’ roll” era (Frank, Pg166). That meaning the advertising fed to us by everything from cola companies to shampoo manufacturers is all fast paced and appeals to the thrill seeking rebel in each of us (Frank, 167). So at the moment, “an eternal fleeing of ‘sameness’[...]” is the ideal we strive for (Frank, Pg 166).

Society today in the United States has come to be ruled by technology and the mass media, shaping and creating people’s idea of what perfect is to the rest of the world. Standards for individuals have evolved completely, because of tools that allow air brushing for that perfect complexion, or making sure any posted photos of you on facebook are what you want the world to see you as being.

The ability to integrate technology into every society will allow for all people to have equal advantages and abilities to have a part in this finance and communication. When you think about the kinds of technologies that would be integrated, don’t only think of the obvious technologies that U.S. citizen use every day, but also think about the ones that we have forgotten that mean every bit as much to us when they are taken away.

Everything before the Sex Pistols all helps to add more fuel to the flame and their rise to fame, and revolution via music. Marcus believes that every cultural, and political, movement, no matter how irrelevant, has been merely the acts, of revolution, and cultural movements, that help what the Sex Pistols do what they did. This contributes to their followers causing an up rise in the country. The Sex Pistols have utilized every opportunity they had to gain their fame.

Subliminal advertising is a crafty theory because it prevents the conscious mind from building any arguments of its own against the message, and allows viewers to be more susceptible to following their subconscious intuition which has, unknowingly, been shaped by the advertisement. Subliminal advertising, when misused, is the unethical behaviour behind the exterior mind control that works below the threshold of human awareness. What first needs to be asked is whether it is even possible that content messages can influence a person’s behaviour. If this were not the case, advertising would be an irrelevant concept as it would not matter what types of content or messages are relayed to people, as they simply would not buy into it. In any case, the advertising industry has been more than willing to put forth millions of dollars to discover whether or not this really is the case and if so, through what means is the message most likely to hit home and persuade the viewer to go out and buy their product.
