In the book it discusses how with all of the advertisements that are going in this world it brings about more having more needs than the potential and service of the product. With this idea it brings about materialism. The definition of materialism is the preoccupation with or emphasis on material objects, comforts, and considerations, with a disinterest in or rejection of spiritual, intellectual, or cultural values. Most advertisements are revolved around making someone form a need for something. From this link Opree did a study on teens. through her study she found out that the teens who watched more television were more unhappy than teens that didn't. Most advertisements gives a feeling that if you buy a certain product it will make you popular or you will be happy. The things you already have are not enough through advertisements.
