Affluenza

Affluenza Affluenza When I get home, the first thing I see is my brother who is more than likely watching television. His favorite television program at the moment is Nickelodeon’s Sponge Bob Square Pants. As he watches this children’s television channel, he is being attacked by many marketers telling him what he should have and absolutely needs. Unfortunately, many young children, like my brother, cannot resist temptation and ask their parents to buy them these toys that they see on television. They are shown at a very young age what plastic money is and are too young to grasp the idea that credit cards are real money. Too many commercials nowadays are being targeted at young children more than ever before. They focus on them because they know there is a big market on things that children want. There is also a pattern that goes with this commercial marketing to children. From a start, children feel like they can never have enough of what they want. When they see something that they do not necessarily need they want it in order for them to fit in with their peers.
