As the mass majority, we go along with whatever marketing, advertising, or the mass media feeds us. The advancement of the Internet and technology has made this possible. When the demand for specific products becomes great, good intentions to deliver quality products sometimes gives way to the almighty dollar.
Pressure is added by greedy investors, marketeers, and advertisers to produce more.
Media hype adds to this mass hysteria. It is hard to tune out advertisement when you are constantly bombarded visually and auditorily by newspapers, books, TV, radio, stores, the internet, outdoor signs, etc. Everywhere you go, symbols and slogans flash before your eyes. Trying to tune this out can be difficult. The problem is, most people are influenced by what other people think and do.
