"Typical" blog # 2

"What is typical" How do we define that words typical and how is the defination determined. The a various ways of being typical considering the variety of veiws of different people. Typical:Of the nature of or serving as a type or representative specimen conforming to a particular type. Also,characteristic or distinctive: He has the mannerisms typical of his class. These are both defination found in the dictionary under the word typical.The word seems to adapt at the world changes. For instance, in the 70's in was "typical for hippies to be around. But it is not typical for hippies to be around in the 2000's now is it? What I believe that supports "typical" is populartity. What is poular amongist the average population, once popularity is deteremined then typical can be discribed. But who do things become popular? Also what infulences that popularity decision? Adveritizing through multimedia is supportive to populartiy. Through the computer, magizes, billboards, newspapers, etc. you see advertisements are products everywhere.

" This detachment from the nature may not seem like much of a problem, but it is. in fact , it's a disaster."

The enviroment is full of consumers craving the next big thing! I find finds saying " I'm board with the iphone 4 I need the iphone 5," and they just purcased this phone not to long ago. Adversitement has a way of reaching out to consumers in  order to make there product popular. I bet you know one would but a perfume if they new it was tested on dogs or anyother example similar.  Adversiments are to grab attention of consumers and tell them what they want to hear. This mental pollution is, "nonchalantly absorbing massive daily doses of it without a second thought," stated by Kalle Lasn.
This concept of "typical" is discussed in various wasys and established that advertisments are the structure of popularity.As for in Kadosh's poem Ameria, It's Gotta Be the Cheese states, "an immaculately wrapped unbelieveably orange package of American Pasteurized Processed Cheese Food. my interetation is America has taken advantage of the resources that are avaliable today, " wraped up in new things".
The source of all this toxins of advertisements is the economic system, which is willing to do anything that is benifical  to their system. Whever if its lieing or any other stratigies in order to make products popular.
This way popular demand overcomes and influences the society. Once this popular demand is found the "typical" aspect is established.

Did you ever stop and wonder would this world would be like with out advertisments?
If we didn't have a variety of clotinge or popular clothing what would be all wear?
Theses "what if's could go on forever. I honestly admit I where the popular clothe and use the popular cell phone, I definatly label myself as "typical".
