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.
Ads in today’s society are not that ethical. They are trying to sell their product to everyone not just to a specific type of people or race.

P2: Explain how the different market research methods have been used to make a marketing decision within a selected situation or business. In this report I will explain how the different market research methods that have been used to make marketing decisions for Coca-Cola and their new product Coca-Cola Vanilla. So to start off with Coca-Cola looked at having a new flavour, as there hadn’t been one since the launch of 1986, Coca-Cola Cherry, so they looked at adding to the Coca-Cola brand whether it be a new flavour or an already popular flavour that hasn’t been in the UK, with the target customer being the general public. The market research method they would use to find out the sales figures of existing products would be done in an office and this would be a secondary research method as they are looking at information that they have already had, from past sales figures. This would be a strategic marketing decision as the research they did helped them to make a decision to bring a popular product to the UK.

Choose a topic: Technology; Sports Equipment; Clothing; Food Questions to research: Are advertisements aimed at teenagers effective? And, are they ethical? MY RESPONSE: : Yes, I think ads are effective towards teens because you see teens making choice or buying things based off of what they saw clothes from the ad. Especially, when a celebrity is advertising the product that they want to purchase it makes them want that item even more. Ads in today’s society are not that ethical.
THAT WE SHOULD RAISE THE LEGAL DRINKING AGE 21 Raising the legal drinking age to 21 has been an issue commonly discussed in the past years. While there are multiple arguments on both sides of the issue the legal drinking age should be raised to 21, in order to benefit the community in Australia and those most important to us. It will help complete the development of brains in adolescents and adults. It will make Australian roads safer by taking alcohol infused adolescents aged between 16 and 21 off the roads. Schoolies is yet another reason to lift the legal drinking age to 21, not only does it put 18 year olds is danger it also puts the community around them in danger.
Finally, downswings in the economy as a whole may influence consumers to purchase more fiscally conservative products affecting TFM and WFM’s same-store sales and profit (Perkins, 2015). All-in-all, every company faces risks. WFM is a stable company with the ability to cope with potential threats that may materialize. TFM is a newly publicly-held company. Given their CEO’s sudden and unexplained resignation in January 2015, and their misstep evaluating the ability to penetrate their target market in California, we do not feel confident that their management has the ability or resources to cope with challenging risks their industry inherently faces.
This act made important changes to the United States since the reform following the Great Depression. It made changes in the American financial regulatory environment that affect all federal financial regulatory agencies and almost every part of the nation's finance industries. Even though this may seem as a good thing for our country, many critics believe the reform act is not enough to prevent another financial crisis. I believe this reform act was a major achievement in a way. The economy has gotten better through the years and President Obama has come up with some very beneficial strategies that have helped this country get out of the recession that we were in.
The nation’s new economy “high advanced technology” is proving a mix bag for workers. It also has ushered in a long period of unprecedented national prosperity. But at the same time that with profits many employees are changing, Employer say the changes in traditional pension plans, health insurance, and other no salary are necessitated by broad shifts in work patterns and demographics.

By the time someone of my generation steps in and becomes president, the economy will be in full affect. This generation has so many bright and intelligent people who already have plans to better the world around us. We will bring this world to peace and give Americans that security that they have lost over the years. It will be very difficult, but with great effort and hard work it can be achieved. The future of America is a bit foggy to some, but to others it is clear that our country will come back and once again be a dominant nation.
