Homework for Tuesday, November 2nd

How does advertising influence consumption?                                                                  

When some companies want to present their cool new stuffs and they always tell us (the customers) all the good things (positives side) about and coming with it. But they never (I think) show the bad side (the negative side) to us. And that is why those products have been covered their real face (things that destroy natural), slowly, slowly, the customers love and buy those more and more to satisfying their needs. For example, if you see a new modern car and than you say: "I love it! Let's buy that car". But that car have to run by fossil fuels than someday that poor car may can't use the run-out fossil fuels (not just your car only!)[Which is the negative].

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 so but maybe. Just because the citizens are always use buses, cars, even planes; washing and cooking are their needs, too. And someone must stand up and say:"That's enough, my friends". But I think we could use less fossil fuels or use sunlight energy to make products ->sustainability world. That's sound easy but we will see that can we make it or NOT. Beside, maybe companies should tell us a little a bout the bad things (negative sides) about those products, too.

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

Yes, I really do. Because in our heads, good things (that you know as positives side) always attract me to buy it and I think it's happen to my friends, too. We (people) can't help every things that they see (my opinion).
