Consumerism mindset needs to change, as we live in a "toxic cultural environment" (Kilbourne n.p.), media has a big impact on our values, ideals, feelings, and worse, in our health; the influence of advertisement affects us all because our subconscious is being shattered by wrong ideas of success on behalf of the brands. Society is being influenced with unachievable and unreal standards of beauty, among decades people, especially women, have been told that how they look is more important than who they are, the role of women have been degenerated and reduced as "is perceived as a collection of body parts, displayed for the gaze of others." (Register, n.p.) Women have been objectified over the years and that has caused increases of health problems, such as depression, eating disorders, teen pregnancies and on a bigger social scale, objectification, and sexualization of women has planted the seed in the subconscious of men too. As they are being encouraged to pursue violence in order to reaffirm their masculinity; also, men have been cultured that having human qualities that are considered as feminine is wrong and they must not be vulnerable or weak, as they have to be strong and powerful. Although some points of view had changed in the social psyche and some brands and activists have been working on making a difference to stop sexualization and dehumanization, there is still a big lack of consciousness on how these problems involve us all.
