This emotional connection promotes a conceptual fulfillment of the advertisement, suggesting that the advertisers only need to go part of the way in creating the advertisement and the emotional response will then enable the audience to fill in the perceived gaps between what the advertiser offers and what they wish to see in the advertisement. The most effective forms of advertising are thus those which play upon some form of emotional status."

Abstract
The following assignment is for a second year business and society course. The topic of this paper is the effect of advertising on consumerism. Using an article from Heath, it is argued that advertising and consumerism are not closely related. The writer maintains that increased consumerism is the result of competition and not advertising. The writer concludes that the other argument is wrong. "
From the Paper
"Consumerism has been a topic of interest for a number of years. Many researchers believe that consumerism is a negative thing. These critics usually link the rise of consumerism to advertising. However, there are some critics that argue that consumerism and advertising have little to do with each other. In 'The Efficient Society' Joseph Heath's theory is that consumerism and advertising are not intimately connected. In fact, Heath's argument suggests that competition and social status are the driving force behind the increase in consumerism. For example, Heath states, 'Thus comparative consumption can easily become competitive consumption'."

Along the way, this paper looks at how the image of Michael Jordan as an African-American was used to sell Nike apparel and also at how a particular lifestyle was used to promote Nike products. Additionally, this paper focuses briefly on some of the racial dynamics at play in the classic Nike ads featuring Jordan as well as upon how Nike used the concept of 'rebellion' to sell the Jordan line - even if consumer rebellion was hardly what they had in mind. In conclusion, this paper should reinforce yet again how the metaphors found in any commercial reveal deeper truths about a society's yearnings and attitudes. The relationship of Michael Jordan with Nike was one of the most successful partnerships in the history of sports marketing."

Not feeling all that happy, I left the bar and was almost run over by a city bus adorned with ads promoting the comfort, efficiency and safety of city buses."
