People often feel this sense of emptiness when they feel they are missing something. Like growing up without out their fathers or being a banded their mother at a young age. These are just two examples of the many that can make a person feel empty. When people have this feeling of emptiness they look for ways to feel they whole. Like when a girl grow up without her dad she looks for a boyfriend to play the daddy role. So that she can feel the love from a man that she never felt before. On the other hand when a boy grow up has without a father they often grow up doing bad things, because they say they had no one to show them how to do the right thing. It’s often been shown that when a girl grow up without their mother , when they have kids they are likely to a band their kids. Then there will be another kid out there with a sense of emptiness looking for away to feel what they think is missing . Other than trying to find what they are missing in other people, people shop to make them self feel better. I feel that humans do have this over whelming feel of emptiness, they often find something that makes them happy and right after they get it they are looking for something else. I don’t think is done on purpose but it just a part of our human nature. I feel that ever human feel a little bit of emptiness so we are always looking for something to full that whole. So we shop , look for love , and for people to play roles of the people we are missing in their life. People that feel emptiness sometime have kids to be able to get the love form the kid that’s they never felt before , or to get the feel that someone else is depending on them . Emptiness is a feel that comes from within , when a person feels that something is missing from their life. They try to fix it but it’s a feeling may keeping coming back and only go away for a short period of time .

Should advertising to young people be banned? Up to what age? Or all ages?

No I dont not think advertising to young people should be banned, because I think it would be just a wast of time. I think it would be a wast of time becasue if most young people do not have one thing to follow they look or the next. The video showed a large group waiting on line outside of a concert they had there face painted like they no the mebers of the group would have they face painted, that day most people looked alike and was acting a like, they did a lot out yelling and acted in what looked liike rebelous actions. One they video showed how the group acted when they was one stage everthing they fans were doing became moer clear. The group mebers were throughing things around the stage, they were yelling and they were jumping off of thing. This proved to me that most young follow what ever they think is cool .

so i guess what im trying to say is that, if they stop playing Ipod commericals every time i new ipod came out, yes there would be less people buying a new ipod becuase they would be less awear that a new one came out or what its able to do. So the new Ipod wouldnt be as "cool" because a lot of people wouldnt be no about it, bout something that more people no about would be more "cool". As you saw it in the video.

What specific manipulation techniques work best on the specific insecurities and emotional needs of young people, according to Merchants of Cool?

I think the best manipulation techniques to use to make young people more into something is, to show them that one well know person likes is as well. For example Chris Brown did a doublement commerical were he change the words to one of the song that was on his C.D and put doublement in replace for the words he took out . He also dance to the song . The cammerical had everyone talking about it because Chris Brown made a song and a dance about gum so when you want in the store to buy gum you though about the commercial even if you didn' buy the gum. The video also showed this happening were they were trying to get people to drink sprite so the had a basketball player drink it in the commercial, they thought if peopel see they besketball player drink sprite they would want to drink it as well.

1) The best way to say something is neat-o, awesome, or swell. The phrase "cool" is very relaxed, never goes out of style, and people will never laugh at you for using it, very conveniant for people like me who don't care about what's "in."
Homestar is cool. (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cool)



2) Cool is an aesthetic of attitude, behavior, comportment, appearance and style, influenced by and a product of the Zeitgeist. Because of the varied and changing connotations of cool, as well its subjective nature, the word has no single meaning. It has associations of composure and self-control (cf. the OED definition) and often is used as an expression of admiration or approval.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_(aesthetic)

When  i  asked  family members, friends, as well  as people  on the street  what  is cool,  I was giving  a lot of the same answers, "cool  is  being different, you  know  doing your own thing and  not caring  what  any one say or think  about you." Since being  different was  a answer  that  came so  much  I asked  a lady  on the the street what dose it mean to  be different? She responded "You  doing your own thing, the  way you  dress is different, the why  you  think is different. You aren't thinking  for just  yourself and  think for  a group  of  people all  of  your  followers. Most times being different  makes you  a leader, when i  say  being different  it's don't mean that  know one in  the  world  is  like  you  it means  its hard to  find  another person  like you". When i  was  talking to  my  mom  about  this  whole cool  thing  she  said " being  cool is  being  a leader, you do  what you  want  to  but  people  follow you  because they  like what you  doing ,  or  they  may not  like  it  but they  think  every one else does so  they   follow  so  that  they can  fit  into  a group  or  be seen  as  cool  because they hang out with  a  cool  group of  people. I asked on of my  close  friend  do  she think  our  small  group  of  3  people  is  cool ( Bryanna, Sage, and I ) she  says  we  are  cool  to  her because  we  enjoy  hanging  together  just  the  tree  of us,  that we  trust each other with  every thing and  thats  hard to  find  now  of  days, and each of us are know around school, and  the part  about us is that we don't  think  of  our self as  cool  or  even  try  to be  cool,  we  stay to  our self, but  a lot  of people  just  know  who we  are.
