Tuesday Homework November 2nd 2010

1. How does advertising influence consumption ?
- If the advertising is very good, attractive to the people, but it isn't show any bad stuff of that things, it will make the people buy a lot of stuffs that they saw on TV and I think environment will lose lots of natural resources. It will be the big problem to the environment and people in the future, if we keep buying lots of stuffs. But if people can't buy any more stuffs, how can they live, and the demand of people will be lower. That is very important to people to buy new stuffs and that either make the environment be worst. But if people just buy enough that they can, it will be OK for the environment keep the natural resources sustainability.

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?
- I think not, because everyday citizens act just the same, go to school by car, go to bathroom, eat, but they don't think about the sustainability habits, they don't think about their grandson in the future, they just act what they usually do. They don't think about sustainability, we have to tell them just use enough things, don't waste too much water, it will effect to their son or grandson a lot because in the future they will not have any water to use if now they use all of the water. We have to tell them that it is very important if we informed the sustainability of our consumption habits.

3. Do you think these advertising techniques influence what you and your friends purchase?
-
Yes, I do. These advertising techniques will influence a lot to me and my friends purchase because if the advertising is more attractive and techniques, we just thinking about the good things of that stuff and think that will be useful to us. We don't care about the cost and other bad stuffs, we just need to know that is pretty, attractive, useful, popular,... But if we careful and think about other bad stuff, we will know exactly which things that we really need to buy, that is the point if everyone know that and do the same.
