Teixeira conducted a study on the reasons people pay attention to video advisements as well as when they do so. The author stated that video ads have become more prevalent as marketers have increased demand for consumers' attention, which has largely been influenced by the proliferation of new brands and products (Teixeira, 2015)
From this perspective, Lady Russell would appear correct for admonishing Anne to sever connections with Wentworth who has not yet matured in an economic or social sense. As Joseph Duffy notes, Wentworth's "sanguineness and ardor" are "considered dangerous to a conservative society" along with his lack of "financial" resources (Duffy 272)
However, as Milgram shows, it is sometimes better if an individual is able to think for himself and make his own decisions -- because a person in a position of authority is not always right by virtue of his position. Milgram argued that "ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process" (Milgram)
Part of what allows for this growth in Anne, however, is an appreciation for the transference of power happening in society at that time. As the obedience factor in the beginning of the novel had been based on the threat of losing social standing, that factor lost its persuasive component as "the incipient change and shifting power relations in that system [occurred] as the professional class displaced the landed gentry" (Phelps 377)
