Today the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

While it is undeniable people are driven to consumption by need, I wholeheartedly believe people buy goods based on how popular they are in their community.
On the one hand, many put forth the argument that some goods are absolute necessities. Whether or not some
