  • To my understanding John Berger claims publicity as a strategy of marketing where the seller displays desirable images of their products, these images we keep in our minds as memories of things we wish to have. When we acquire those thing we wished for we feel wealthy and this creates envy of each other.
  • With oils paintings people showed their belongings as a way of showing what they owned and possessed or who they were. With advertisement images nowadays they show products people would like to have, this causes people to get spend more and more getting poor making the rich richer.
  • Advertising shows an image of satisfaction when you get a product that is for sale, this makes people to think that buying the advertised product will get the same satisfaction as the person who presents it. usually people are fooled but the thought that they are going to look or be as the same people used for the  advertisement.
