An ideology is a collection of ideas that form a larger system of beliefs. Typically these are the ‘isms’ that you will have heard of, many associated with political beliefs – communism, Marxism, capitalism – together with other ideologies like feminism, Christianity and environmentalism

Since its launch at the end of 2003, the ‘unified regulator’ the Office of Communications (Ofcom) has been happily banning advertisements.

It takes only a single member of the public to complain about an ad, for a ban to be considered. The largest number of complaints that has prompted a response from Ofcom to date is 797 – very high only in comparison with the others

Repetitive Advertising and the Consumer

Advertising is in an odd position. Its extreme protagonists claim it has extraordinary powers and its severest critics believe them. Advertising is often effective. But it is not as powerful as is sometimes thought, nor is there any evidence that it actually works by any strong form of persuasion or manipulation.

Social Comparison, Advertising, and Consumer Discontent

Consumers encounter countless advertising images during the course of everyday life. Many of these images are idealized, representing life more as it is imagined than as it actually exists. This article uses theories originating in social psychology to examine the impact these idealized advertising images have on consumers' perceptions of their lives, particularly with respect to their material possessions. Using social comparison theory as a basis, the author argues that exposure to idealized images leads consumers to compare, often unconsciously, their own lives with those represented in idealized advertising images. In addition, information integration frameworks are used to explain how repeated exposure to idealized images raises consumers' expectations and influences their perceptions of how their lives ought to be, particularly in terms of their material possessions. The result of both these processes, for some consumers, is consumer discontent and an increased desire for more.
