Urban areas consume not only more food and energy, but also more consumer products. It’s more likely and accessible for urban population to own a car than rural areas. Furthermore, our consumption habit is part of our culture, which is also a form of capitalism, produce more, sell more, and the more that we created and purchased the more progress and successful we are as a society. One of the most important ways to measure a country’s economic growth is its GNP and GDP, the numbers of goods it can be product and consume. Every Black Friday, just one day in 2015 consumers spend more than $60,000,000,000 in consumer goods. We live in a world of excessive stuff. We can shop 24 hours a day, seven days a week, no matter day or night. With the help of the Internet, such as Amazon, with just one click, they will deliver your orders to your doorsteps. We are living in an age of mass communication. And undeniably, advertising has a huge role in our day-to-day life. It directly changes our lifestyle and our mindset.
