Homework for November 2nd

How does advertising influence consumption?

- Advertise only shows the good side of the products, but not the bad side of the products. How they advertise the good side of the products make people want to buy that products.

 Do you think citizens are sufficiently informed about the sustainability of our consumption habits? If not, how can we become more informed about sustainability issues?

-  I don't think citizens are sufficiently informed about the sustainability of our consumption habits. I think the way that we can become more informed about  sustainability issues is to advertising about sustainability. That way when they see that advertisement, they would understand about sustainability issues.

Do you think these advertising techniques influence what you and your friends purchase?

- Yes, because when I look at a advertisement, I will decide whether to buy that product or not. Also, I will look at the way they advertise that product, and whoever acts/do that advertisement/commercials
