With the rise of globalization and open markets, our minds and originality have become crushed. Mass media and other modern innovations are the cause of these results. We evolve much faster in smaller groups. Being one large world could hurt us in the future( it obviously has its benefits as well). Just returning from Paris, I saw some "in your face" type adverts where George Clooney advertises Nespresso advertisments that I see daily in Tel Aviv. These types of advertisments are possible to see in all large cities around the world. Nothing is original anymore. Have mega companies ruined our individual originality and ingenuity? Were we once clean slates functioning as independant human beings?
I believe that mass advertising, the innovation of online pornography and reality shows have truly distorted our view of "normal". We think like robots and our perception of accepted morals are skewed.
Are we fortunate to live in an age where we have the choice to filter all of this available information and have the power to decide how to act or has our human behavior been manipualted by sales promotions, mass advertising and reality shows?
