Money is the means by which anthropologically weaker people exert power over the strong. It has mysterious origins; however, modern economic structures have originated chiefly out of the West, as the East's values have strayed towards Collectivism. Money is seen as the symbol of status and showing you have affluence through consumption is the goal of modern life in the Free World.

The medium has always been thought of as a system of control. It isn't– it's a system of self-enforced enslavement as most people are too lazy to be bothered doing anything else. The activity of acquiring money such as employment is the main goal in life after adolescence as personal fulfillment dwindles and the pressure of society increases. Here money is pivotal in gauging personal success. Money was once dominated by men, who were seen as providers; however, women and children are increasingly taking part in the acquisition of money.

Subliminal advertising flashes words and images or text onto a screen faster than the conscious mind can read or decode them or, in printed advertisements, conceals such images and text by distorting them, surrounding them by meaningless squiggles and shapes, or placing them in unexpected locations. Nevertheless, the images and text are understood on an unconscious level and may affect the behavior of the audience who is subjected to such images or text.

Sometimes, the pictures or the words create visual or linguistic puns. Other clues are provided by the directions in which models in the advertisements look, their postures and body language, and their facial expressions. The subliminal elements often appear in the upper left corner of the advertisement, in ice (which is painted, not real), in bottles, and in the faces or bodies of the models. Symbolism is also used to guide the unconscious mind into interpreting the subliminal clues in a specific way, and, often, a phrase or a short sentence, sometimes employing a pun, indicates how the advertiser hopes the viewer will interpret the advertisement.

LONDON – Images highlighting that "smoking is cool and sexy" will be printed on all tobacco products sold in the UK by the end of 2009, under regulations being set out. Manufacturers will have to start complying from October next year. The move comes after Tax revenues from smoking continue to fall, threatening to bankrupt the UK "within a decade."

After a public consultation 15 images, including ones of 50s movie stars, cowboys and Thai prostitutes, have been chosen to accompany text highlighting how smoking is, using the new motto "still hip and cool kids!"

Health Secretary Alan Johnson told UnNews there was evidence from other countries that the decreasing uptake of new smokers coupled with the increasing numbers of existing smokers that are quitting are threatening to "bring Western civilisation to its knees."
