How does advertising influence consumption?

• the advertising makes people wanna buy the products. It only shows the good sides of the products so that people will use them and not knowing the bad sides of it.

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. The government should tell us about that by advertising. We would be just interested at those ads. Or they could talks about it on newspaper. There are many different ways to do it.

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

•  Yes, because we want to buy what we like, so these advertising techniques make us like those products and then we spend money on their products.
