From the Paper:

"This paper will be concerned with the topic of consumer manipulation through advertising. There are a number of ways in which advertisers may try to persuade the public to buy their products. However, it has been found that one of the most effective ways to stimulate buying behavior is through the manipulation of people's fears and desires. In the words of one advertising director: "Fear, envy, vanity, health, utility, profit, pride, love and entertainment. If you ever spend money it will be for one of those reasons". Research studies have tended to support this view, and as such there are numerous indications that consumer decision making is more strongly motivated by emotional, rather than rational, needs.
Advertisers have long been aware that sex is the most powerful stimulant for influencing the public to buy. ,,, "
