THE MARKETING OF COOL
The term "cool" has been around for decades, and kids seem to be attracted to products that are cool. For instance, when kids are obligated to attend school everyday, they react to kids that have the latest school supplies,new clothes, and products that look cool. Then they go home to their parents and demand the COOL items just so they can fit n with the rest of the classmates or friends. Then the parents are forced to buy such new products for their kids, so the kids go to school being happy and satisfied with their needs. This sequence is common, especially for the younger generation.
Kids are demanding, and parents want the best stuff for their kids just cause they are kids. This idea helps the advertising industry to promote cool products for the kids, which can help create a bigger market for the Children's advertisements.

It's a shame that our society focuses on what's "Cool" but unfortunatly that's the way it is. As i've grown up, I realize that the concept of "cool" is ridiculous. When you are in middle school and your trying to fit in, this concept is a huge deal. But once you grow up and look back, its stupid. You were no cooler then any of the other kids in class. You were exactly the same, but you wore different clothes. It doesn't seem to be a big deal. Unfortunatly, children's media feeds off of being "cool" and this is a shame. They should not stoop so low to make money.
