Answer: the advertising industry.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the 1950s consumer culture governed the American society and its economy. While a dynamic economy presented more opportunities and better incomes, mass marketing and consumerism produced generalized conformity, particularly around subjects such as social issues, religion and gender roles. Advertising became a powerful tool of manipulation that reinforced that conformity.
