November 2nd homework

Question 1/ How does advertising influence consumption?
- First of all, advertising has a super mega huge influence on consumption because it tells us the product that we might not know about it yet. Secondly, it tells us all the good things about the product, which makes us want to buy the product because it has so many positive factors accompanying it.

Question 2/ 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?
- No. Absolutely not. If the government inform us about the sustainability of our consumption habits, they are killing the companies that brought them huge amounts of money, and killing themselves too. We can be more informed about sustainability issues by doing research on it and to check out which products are negatively affect sustainability.

Question 3/ Do you think these advertising techniques influence what you and your friends purchase?
- Yes! Why not? I saw an advertisement on a Chelsea Football Uniform and I want to buy it immediately. I'm one-hundred-and-one percent sure that all my friends bought products after being advertised to, too.
