Sorry. i posted on mr. patrick blog so that is why this post is so late

1. How does advertising influence consumption?
- Advertising are visual images which lead people to do something. The goal of any advertisement is to have your product or service consumed, therefore advertising is created for the attraction purpose.
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, i don't think so. When the advertiser showe us the products, they should inform us more about the products like the negative thins. And we could inform sustainability issues by showing poster or talk about on the TV or the newsletter.

3. Do you think these advertising techniques influence what you and your friends purchase?
- Of course, their purpose is to convince us to buy the products. And they would use lots of different ideas to show the products in the advertising. We want the products so we need to spend the money to buy it.
