This paper will be concerned with the topic of consumer manipulation through advertising. There are a number of ways in which advertisers may try to persuade the public to buy their products. However, it has been found that one of the most effective ways to stimulate buying behavior is through the manipulation of people's fears and desires. In the words of one advertising director: "Fear, envy, vanity, health, utility, profit, pride, love and entertainment. If you ever spend money it will be for one of those reasons" (Clark 18). Research studies have tended to support this view, and as such there are numerous indications that consumer decision making is more strongly motivated by emotional, rather than rational, needs.
Advertisers have long been aware that sex is the most powerful stimulant for influencing the public to buy. In fact, it

A company must do more to define its market in a multi-national marketing environment than to decide to be a multi-national company. Defining its market as domestic on the one hand and foreign on the other is insufficient and ignores the real differences that exist between countries. Within the U.S., a company defines its market both broadly and narrowly, considering first a national perspective and then regional issues when they apply to a product. Similarly, a company needs to have a sense of itself as being in a multi-national marketing environment and also address regional and national issues when they apply. The company needs to account for the changes taking place in the world market environment and to develop a global strategy which entails on the one hand an overall strategy and on the other the flexibility to adapt to the requirements of speci
