ALL THAT GLITTERS...

Discuss the following questions:

Are we totally immune to commercials and other methods of advertising and do we decide what we buy on rational reasons, as independently thinking people?

Would you buy a mobile phone you don't know the brand of and you don't know from commercials?

What have you bought which has been heavily advertised in commercials? What made you buy the product - by rational thinking or as a victim of a clever advertising campaign?

Have you ever felt disappointed after buying a product?

Is it always difficult to see through and resist commercials?

What happens with people when they are precisely the correct target group for a product, for example soft drink or perfume? 

What is advertised right now on TV for the target group you belong to -  young people?

What kind of feelings do the advertising companies want to arouse in their customers?
