Psychological Influence: Massine’s motive for purchasing the car was due to the convenience of a car and not having to worry if the bus will show up on time.

“You can have any color as long as it’s black”. This was an iconic quote from Henry Ford about his creation of the Model T. Although the Model T was not the first car created, it revolutionized all of America. The Model T was marketed to the middle class, it increased the productivity of the work force as well as the economy, and its design made it the most reliable car of its time.

The next strategy that was used consisted of the salesman showing her a two thousand sixteen vehicle fully loaded with XM satellite radio, leather seats, and navigation. The contrast principle was utilized to show her something out of the price range to get her feeling comfortable with a vehicle closer to her price but conveniently more than she would have normally spent.

People worship and praise him and this is due to his invention of the assembly line. Both the book and modern life has this in common because Ford did contribute to consumerism in America by creating the assembly line as well as paying workers more money so that they will spend more. Advertisements also play a big role in both the World State and modern life. In the book, Hypnopaedia serves as a form of “advertisement” that teaches people to want to buy more.
