Jakob Chase · Answer 1

The correct answer is D) The advertising industry.

The consumer culture and conformity during the 1950's was really spurred by the increase in televisions used by the American family. The television allowed for American families to watch and see what was perceived as popular in American society. This resulted in individuals wanting similar clothes, cars, and houses. This type of consumer culture in which individuals conform to the things they see on TV is still part of American culture today.
