Yes, the "reflections" of who we supposedly are (or should be) as a society found in todays commercials are generally not the most positive influences... However, they are the brightest and most eye catching of the constellation of television advertisements. Because of this, we are subconsciously overlooking the bits of genuine "encouragement" thrown in here and there.
Believe it or not, commercials, shows, and films that advocate self acceptance- without wanting you to spend money are broadcasted and able to be viewed almost as often as the others.
These are my favorites, but others due exist. The best part is, they actually attempt to show real people of diverse backgrounds, but primarily focus on the their message- not their promotion.
