But, contraire to my workmate I do not think Americans are stupid, there is a far more serious problem. It is called responsibility, or to be precise, the lack of it.<\/p>\n<p>Does every single product need an Ad saying how dangerous it can be if it is used or consumed inappropriately? Is there no common sense necessary these days? Or is the lack of common sense just a fast way to get rich and a famous?<\/p>\n<p>I admit, we are constantly seduced by commercials, whispering subconsciously to do this, eat that or buy a certain product. Our lives might be controlled, manipulated and guided by multinational corporations like Nestl\u00e9, Coca Cola, Mac Donald\u2019s\u2026 But that doesn\u2019t mean that we are released from our responsibility to use our brains and think about consequences when we fulfill our need to \u201cconsume\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimatly we would have the choice, but most of us simply don\u2019t take it.
