Hypnopedia

Thursday, November 20, 2008

The images depicted in my piece of hypnopedia are suggestive through the idea that money buys happiness, this idea is perpetuated by the scenes of illustrious wealth and are equated with power. The words “Need it not be thought, but only bought” illustrate societies apparent need to collect material possessions in an attempted substitute for true fundamental happiness. Although many people have exhibited the self-restraint needed in today’s consumer driven world, the great majority of humanity has become overly infatuated with the pursuit of money rather than the true pursuit of happiness. The pictures of extravagant cars, yachts, jewelry, and others show some of the stereotypical thing to “strive” for. This use of stereotypical wealth symbols helps to push the idea that monetary success is the only true form of contentment.
