Marketing Products
2. It really suprised me how much information they have about you just from surveys or things you have purchased. It was kind of creepy how they could estimate what was going to happen in your future and knew so much about what you liked and what you didn't. In the future I will be more carefull and conscious about what information I give about myself. I would want to keep important numbers like my social security, address, and phone number private because if that information got in the wrong hands I could get my identity stolen or robbed.

Marketing Culture
2. Marketing and logos have a huge effect on the feeling of belonging in a group or recognizing a group. Many kids at school get made fun of if they don't wear "cool" clothes or the popular brand. This is why when kids buy a popular brand of clothes they feel like they belong and are part of the group. The brands of clothes also indentify different groups. An example of this is how alot of skateboarders wear shirts with an Element or DC logo on them because they are big name skateboard companies. They feel like if they wear this clothes then they belong around other skaters and feel like one themselves. Another example of how certain logos distinguish groups is nike and adiddas. You see alot of kids that play sports wearing nike and adidas so when see someone with those logos you automatically assume they play sports.

Marketing Politics
4. I think political ads should be governed by the same kinds of laws that govern product ads because you shouldn't just be able to promise someone you will do something they want if they vote for you if you know it will not be possible. After a while if the people running for a political position don't ever fulfill what they said they would people will stop listining to them and then that tactic would become useless. The reason why I think there are not such laws is because if the person becomes president or governor they may be able to change things to ensure that what they promised will actually happen.
