Advertisements are radically affected due to the effects of capitalism. As consumers today, we can observe the massive amounts of tactics big corporations try to use in an attempt for us consumers to buy their products. Due to this massive amount of exposure, advertisements use familiar icons to shape their consumers. Corporations use familiar and repetitive images to make their audience subliminally associate their product with something they cherish already. For example, many advertisements use religious influences, like the infamous nativity scene, to get the public to associate their certain product to be innocent and wholesome.
All in all, advertisements use an asset of emotion to make their audience connect with their product in an attempt to persuade them to buy their product. This is a long tradition of capitalism: to do whatever it takes to make the most amount of capital.
