In a one to two-page paper, describe an advertisement that you have recently seen on television. How does this advertisement convey the goals of U.S. society? What message does it send about material possessions, good looks, success, and happiness? Now put yourself in the place of different types of people (young people, poor people, elderly people) who are seeing this ad. What would their reactions be? How does that relate to Merton's ideas about goals and means?
