Modern day communication tools are, as stated by Walter Lippman, Edward Herman who created the term "Manifacturing of Consent" and the author of the book titled "Manifacturing Consent" Noam Chomsky, shaped by the people who have these tools. Media tools are creating the consumption simulations by the social-psychological effects of fashion. Movie series are good examples of aforementioned consumption simulations. Consumption habits that are manufacturing brands trying to create are imposed using movie series with various media tools.
