Forum 2 - Advertising & Consumers

Advertising has a large influence on our lives. It has an influence on the cars we drive, the clothes we wear, and the food we eat. TV commercials paint an unrealistic picture of how good life is once you own their product. These days, marketing messages are more sophisticated, more pervasive, and are aimed directly at their targets.

Do you think people are too influenced by advertising?
How are your shopping habits influenced by advertising?
