Advertisers. In it for you, or your money? By, Joey Bartelme

Advertising has performed a drastic change in purchasing norms. Media has become way more popular. Advertising is now much more direct and sometimes untruthful. Advertisers are trying to sell us what we want, not the product itself. New advertising strategies are causing Americans to purchase more items with money most of them don’t have. Americans purchased 200 million newspapers by 1929. That’s how popular the media has become. Because of this new-found popularity, more Americans have been seeing advertisements which has caused them to buy even more new items. Regional differences are starting to die out because all Americans are starting to purchase the same items and so they are living similar life styles. Advertising is causing Americans to purchase things they don't actually need and don't have the money for.

Advertising techniques are starting to be more direct in telling you what you want to hear. While ads have previously been for simple descriptions of products, they are now being used to fool people into buying things, such as cigarettes or clothes, based off of only what a company tells them. By just 1925, magazine and newspaper companies owed 70% of their income to advertisers. This shows the demand for companies to get their product on the eyes of consumers. It shows that Americans are being persuaded to buy products through advertisements, changing what they would normally buy and causing them to purchase items based on social pressures.

Advertising has now become an art competition in some ways. It has become a contest of attraction. Bright colors are meant to catch people’s eye and make them want items because of how nice they may look in a newspaper. Advertisers have also started using stories and strong wording to make people believe that the old products, that are still useable, are nothing compared to the “new and improved,” product. Companies trick consumers into purchasing items that they don't need by showing flashy cartoons and imagery that attract people to them. These tactics are changing people buying habits by making them feel the need to be up to date with the latest models and products.

As expressed, Media has become popular and more prominent. Methods of advertisement are now much less truthful and aimed closer to persuasion. Advertising has become an art form that is made to be attractive and persuasive. Overall, Advertisers are attracting consumers to buy new products that they cannot afford and implanting false thoughts into citizens who believe they must be “up to date”.

How is mass production affecting U.S. products? Is it good? By Gus Elwell

no

The mass production of many products is dumping consumer items out at an enormous rate. Home products such as sewing machines, washing machines and vacuums are being sold at an unprecedented rate. Growing businesses lead to growing businesses. For example, Henry Ford’s miraculous car assembly line makes cars at a very fast rate. The production of these cars leads to other growing businesses. If cars are being made then more gas stations will pop up, more industrialization everywhere. This is good for americans, we have more jobs and we can support our family more. Cars lead to roads and highways, and when there is a major highway, towns will sprout up around it. Small towns are forming everywhere, with gas stations, hotels, and camping areas. This leads to population in the midwest where there are not a lot of people. Another outcome of mass production is more leisure activities. Pools and movies become more and more used. The clothing style has changed dramatically. More clothing variety in clothes and more production of these clothes with cheaper materials. Shelter is also more available with this large economic boom in industry due to mass production. Apartment living Is becoming more widespread and popular. More appliances like irons and radios are being used.

All of this comes with smaller space. Things being sold at an unprecedented rate. More roads lead to more distribution of goods through the use of cars. Although the rise of mass production and industry leads to more jobs, and more items, for every good there is a bad. With the roads popping up, more pollution and less nature. With more towns there is more pollution and less nature as well. With the large production of appliances and good, although more jobs are created, all of these are cheaper and poorer quality. Faster rates of production lead to more breakable items. More small, apartment style living leads to less space and more mental health issues. So although the economic boom is good, everything good has a bad side. And with this rise of economic boom, there will have to be something to stop it. In the end, the rise of industry is good. Although all of these things have a bad side, the rise of industry gives jobs, more items, more dispersity in the U.S. through the use of roads. More household appliances are being made, more housing for families, more money in the U.S

Americans’ Respond to Hollywood. BY KRUSHI PATEL

A

mericans are responding to

movies and Broadway musicals in a good way. This fresh prosperity agreed with the booming demand for entertainments like movies, Broadway musicals, and radio programs. Hollywood also made its way through. Creation of Hollywood. While sales of radio totaled only $2 million in 1920, that number would reach $600 million by 1929 as nearly America can buy a “Radiola” for the princely sum of $75. The discovery of Hollywood, like most epoch-making discoveries, was accidental. Hollywood took place in everyone hearts and the influence of it was kept spreading around everywhere. They even learn plenty about love from the movies. The American movie industry came of age in the 1920s, becoming a highly organized, multimillion dollar concern. Hollywood flourished as the home of the major studious. Leading actors and actresses enjoyed unprecedented stardom and people flocked to new movie palaces.40 million people went to movies in 1922. By 1930, over 100 million a year were crowding into theaters that were virtual places. For multiple middle-class Americans, the 1920s was a decade of unusual success. Expanding profits produced additional disposable income for the destruction of entertainment and recreation. The broadway was created in 1811. It is centered in Manhattan, New York. In the 1920s are considered to be Broadway's boom years. American musicals came of age in the

The 1920s, when a succession of brilliant shows captivated audiences. Their combination of impossible plots, love stories, chorus lines of beautiful girls, and show-stopping tunes captures the energy and escapism of the postwar era. In 1927 alone, more than 250 shows debuted, over 50 of them musicals. 20 million people attended shows. 1920s Broadway as compared to any other period in Broadway history has had the greatest impact on Broadway today.

The glamour of the films. Lillian Diana Gish, an American actress of the screen and stage, as well as a director and writer.

The new process bY: manny joselson

Have you heard of this new process called buying credit. Credit is the new way and its growing very popular. I think it is very good for american life and citizens. It has changed the way of buying items. It has also changed the way of economy. Buying credit is great new way and a lot of people like it. Buying credit is a very easy process. In detail you basically get the good you want and you pay for it later. This process is not as difficult as you think. But if you don't pay for it later then the seller can take his product back. Or if you want to keep it you have to pay off that fee. Buying credit is very good for you and the rest of us. One reason is that the seller is getting his stuff bought. And that's really good for his business ratings and his profit earning. Which seller doesn't like earning money from his products. It's also good for you and other people. Let's say you want a certain thing but you don't have enough cash for it. See now that we have credit you can get that certain item right there and then and pay for it later. Who wouldn't like to have what they want and eventually just pay for it later. The rise of consumer is very good because credit comes in and it actually is effective in a good way. The higher rates of people buying a lot of stuff is very good stores get a lot of profit and you get what you want. Also the rise of profit for the stores if you really like a store then maybe that store could get even more stuff so you don't have to go to different stores.and you could just stay at that store to shop for certain things

The process is great

Over all this the new process is very good. People really like it and,you should too.it helps out a lot of people and that's very good. The process is simple who doesn't like simple. The credit helps out people and who doesn't like a process that helps people. The credit process is less stressful so you don't have to worry about anything.
