Hyperreality has effected me in many ways, even since i was a youngin. "Hyperreality is exploited in advertising for almost everything. Advertising uses a fake world to define in each person a character that he or she wishes to be. Advertising sells the public an image in the hope that they will buy into their version of a lifestyle that they ultimately desire.Buy the most expensive jeans as worn or designed by your favorite celebrity". I was effected this way when i was young, i saw batman wear a cap so i thought if i wore a cap i thought i would become the ultra cool batman that i admired. This shows that the young mind is easily effected by a hyper reality just as much as a adult. Jim Gaffigin says that "When your single all you see are couples". this is a hyperreality that high schoolers fall into, they see everyone around them dating and they feel there life's should be the same. This effects many life's today because you start to question why your life isn't this way, and i believe you start to undervalue your own life and you feel left out from the world. Over all we feel we need the hyper reality to feel connected to the world today.
