Advertising does not affect me. Most advertising comercials or any other type of advertising does not get to me most of the time. I think that most commercials are not directed to me so i dont realy care for them much. But some times advertisments make me whant to get something so il beg somebody to buy it for me.

Sometimes adverstising does not affect me. The reason why is because when the company puts those models and people. Out there it makes you not want to buy the product because you don't have that body or shape. When you see that brand you want it also when you get a text or see a huge sale. Lots of people say " I hate how that looks good one her or him". Me personaly I hate when I get those text message or faxes or emails or whatever. That's how advertising affects me.

I think advertising does affect me. Advertising affects me in many ways. Sometimes, when I see an advertisment I say that I want that or that it seems cool. Some advertising songs get stuck in my head for days and days. If I see a pair of shoes or clothes that also affects me because it looks cute. When I was younger, toy advertisments would affect me because I couldn't order them since you had to be 18 years or older. All in all advertising does affect you.

Xzavier B. I sometimes let advertising affect me because i see somethings on the T.V. and want to be able to get it. Then there are times where i just dont care reather i should get this object or outfit or shoes. Most of the times i dont think about advertisments and i just leave it alone.There is only one advertisment that get me begging and that is jordans but thats the only ad.

Yes, advertising affects me. Or example commercials may make we want to buy a product. Or a commercial gingle may get stuck in my head. also some commercials will make me feel bad or about myself or good. Last an advertisment may want me to go do something like skateboard.

No, I do not think that advertising doesn't effect me. I think this because everyday you see people wearing a brand of clothing, and whether or not you like that brand, you might think, "that looks kind of cool," or, "I dont like that." Either way you are thinking about the advertisments. There are also times when all your friends have something like a certain type of ipod, and you really want it so you don't feel left out. Magazines, TV, and the radio also make you feel like you want something by telling you how wonderful it is.

I as a teen would say advertising affects me only sometimes. The way that most cathes my attention is in magazines. I say this because i love to read magazines and they have nice qaulity clothes. Well i mean it depends on what magazine you are looking at. So that is my opinion on "Does Advertising Affect You?"

I agree with this statment because when I see an advertising it can effect me sometimed if I really want that product. When it something I know is stupid or the advertising is stupid I ignore it. The reason I do that is because I know maybe it will convince me even though I dont need it and waste my money. Another reson they dont really effect me is because most of the time I cant even have the prouduct cause im not old enough. So in conculsion the dont effect me cause I reall dont pay atteion to them.

For me advertising affects me but only on some ads. When I see an advertisment it might affect me, but then I might see another and not be affected at all.I think that for most people they might be affected, because out of all the ads that we see or hear they have to like at least one of them.Sometimes if I see an ad I might even go out and buy it. Overall I believe that for some ads im affected but for most I am not affected.

I think advertising affects me alot. Because I am on the computer alot and usually am reaing the adds. I also memorize all of the catchy tunes the make like the free credit report song. and I also watch T.V. a lot and never do anything on the commercials. That is why I am affected by addvertising so much.

I agree that advertising has little to no affect on me. I do read the adds and they will get stuck in my head but it doesn`t make me want to buy the product any more. Though I can see that some people would beleive remebering the phrases, means advertisind has an affect on me. I dont think it does. I think advertising on T.V.s have more of an affect on people then others. So advertising has an affect on some things but not alot of things.

Advertising can have many types of affects on me based on the way that this form of media has set the mood.If the mood seems too happy I will ignore it and if it is something of my interest i will still be a little passive on such media.I tend to pay more attention to advertising that displays an interesting song that is adept to the product and has some sort of detail to the product to discribe its use and quality.

Advertising does not affect me. It is just a way for a company to try and sell something and its meant to make you want it! Like for me if i see a advertisment of something that i really like i would tell someone or i would save up my own money to buy it.

Advertising does affect me because there are alot of this that you would not know about if it was not for advertising. If it was not for advertising aot of people would not know when there is a sale going on. Another thing that people would not know about without advertising is tv shows you would not even remeber that the show is on. Plus when there are things that you like to keep up with like a certain clothing line then ads in magzines help. That is how advertising affects me

I believe that advertising does not affect me in a strong way. Yes, I notice the advertising playing on the TV, or playing on the radio. Yes, I notice the billboards posted on the sides of streets, I've just learned to tune them all out. I think most ad's are lies, and never tell you the full truth about the product they are trying to sell. The people making the ad could, well, add details, or take details away from a certain product to get you to buy them. I don't think I should waste my time listening and believing lies about a product. So no, advertising does not really affect me.

Advertising doesn't affect me.Almost all advertising commercials try to make you feel bad about your apperance by using the people they do in the commercial. That way you buy the product thinking that by using it you will look like the person in that commercial.Then after you use it you usually find out that you wasted your time and your money on a useless product that didn't work.

Most of the time I feel that advertisements only affect me every once and a while. Most commercials that I see normally do not pretain to me. Some commercials have a big affect on me to the point where I go bug my parents about buying me that item. On a rare occasion I would go crazy about getting that that i bug my mom so much she buys it for me. But overall most commercials have no affect on me.

Advertising does affect me. A lot of commercial for games like Guitar Hero make me want to buy them. Most commercial just remind me or tell me the the next version finally came out or something like that. Most commercials I usualy dont care about and I ignore.

I think advertising does affect ne. I say that because when i look at something i like, i want it, and i want someone to get it for me. If i see someone with it, thats just going to make me want whatever it is more. I think especially when you see an advertising with like an celeb or someone you look up to, you want it more. Like jordan shoes, a lot of teenage boys and some gurls look up to micheal jordan so they might think that getting his shoes will help them in their game or they might just think they look good. Other than that, i do think that advertising does affect me.

Yes It does affect me..... because when I see something I want I want to get it like a ipod or xbox but I know when to ask for something. Like some people might ask when their parents spend a thousand dollars for a tv and they still ask for a three hundred dollar xbox wit TAX.But after a long time ill forget about the idem I wanted and will eventually want something else.Economy is getting bad so when someone is use to getting what they want the economy gets higher and higher so always think about what you are trying to get because the next day that product will decrease in money wise.

Advertising does affect me. Unless it has something to do with what i love such as clothes and music. When I do see something that I want I will beg for it until I get it. I know that companies target me as their customer so I pay close attention to advertisement so they wont get to me. Advertisements really know how to catch my attention. Plus, when i listen to the radio which I do frequently or watch telivision which I don't do very often their is always an advertisement that catches my attention. The advertisement always try to make an item look the best.

I think that advertising does affect me because stuff get'stuch in your head and when you talk to people you uses names of stuff and not just use general names. And also a another thing IS THAT IF I am LOOKING at a magizine or something I would say to myself that ooooooo I really like her outfit and try to match something that i have and try to put together an out fit. And then I find myself f singing a commercial jingle withmy friend and we would sing out loud together.

Advertising does not affect me. Once you know what the advertisment is trying to do you are less likley to acknowledge it. Other advertisments that are not meant for you are easy to ignore. If you think about if you really want a product in an advertisment you might find out you don't want it. That is why advertising does not affect me.

Advertising does affect me. When I see a commercial for a product sometimes i think "I have to have that!" or "That looks interesting". Also when a product has a catchy commercial it makes me want to watch it and see what the product is. Sometimes jingles will geet stuck in my head and I can never seem to get it out. It also affects me when I see things like a hair style I want or maybe some clothes. It is hard to ignore advertisements and I think they do affect me.

Yes, advertising does effect me. It effects me because if it has a good technique to persuade me it usually works. Even though good techniques work I sometimes dont even pay attention to some advertisements. Mostly because they usually don't talk about things i'm interested in. I'm am interested in stuff that is helpful that is what I look at in an ad.

"Advertising does not really affect me." Advertising affect me in many diffenter ways. If I happen to go to the mall there is always someone their trying to get me to buy their produce and 4/9 times I would want to buy their produces. I could be wachting T.V. and something come on about going somewhere or buying something that I just might want it and it hard to try not to ask or buy it when I see it in a store.

I do agree with the statement that advertising does not affect me because when I see a billboard of something rather it at the store I could decide to buy it there. I would most likely already here about it from my cousins or my friends so it is not interesting to me to watch commercials or look at billboards. In my opinion, advertising is just a way to earn money. Advertising actually gets annoying because they repeat the commercials so many times that it is not interesting.

Advertisement affects me sometimes when i see it. If I am in the car and I see a billboard, I will notice the advertisement. If I am watching TV and a comercial comes on and its like a girl thats slim with pretty skin and long hair it would affect me a lot. Another way advertisement affects me is by if I am at a hair salon and go through the hair magazine, and see a hair style that I like I would most likely would want my hair to be like that. Than there is always someone that has on assecories that I would like so I would beg my mother to buy them. Big pretty name brand purses affects me a lot. So most of the time advertisements affects me.

No I don't agree with this statement. Advertising does affect me. I watch alot of T.V. and I am on the internet most of my time.

When something is advertised on T.V. about how it made people face clear up it really makes me want to buy or try it.

Sometimes I might remember the song that played on the advertising but not all the time. Personly I think that advertising is a waste of people time it really not useful. So for me to really pay attention to advertising I think they shouldn't make you feel bad or sad make u feel good.

Advertising doesn't really affect me because when I see an ad or I see a comercial i pay attention to evrything the ad says even the small print. Usually when I am looking at commercials I see who is the target, how much they want for the item and how well it is selling. most advertisments I do not loook at because of the price but i can say that I do pay attention to the ads about shoes because I love shoes.

I disagree with the statement advertising doesn't effect me. It depends on the advertisment though. If it is an advertisment with a song, then it will probably effect me more the the one that does not, because that song will be stuck in my head and i will keep remembering that ad. If the ad is in a magazine there is a better chance that i will se it instead of a commercial on the t.v, because most of the time i just fastforward through all the commercials. So advertising does effect me, but only certain ones.

I think advertising sometimes does affect me because people on the commercial try to target mostly teens and if I want something, I would usually ask my parents. And some of the commercials would be a catchy song that I would get stuck in my head. And if I would go to the mall people would come up to me and advertise me. But then again, some does not because some of that stuff would target older adults like buying cars or houses. And older adults would go towards mostly older stuff for like house funiture on the commercials.

Yes some advertisments do affect me. Ive seen a lot of funny ones on t.v. that made me laugh a lot. Some have actually made me want to get that product but I didnt have the money. Some other advertisments looked really cool, like the nike ad's. And the zoo york shoe ad's. Overall advertisments have good affect on me.

sometimes advertising affect me by what I wear like video games, clothes or even food. when I see an adverstinig I first see what there advertising then I will make the decision to listen or not. most of the time I ignore most advertisment. such as billboards, newspapers and radio. also if its not good I mute the tv.

I disagree with that statement. Because when I see an advertismenti like alot. For example, shoes, clothes, sketeboards, accesories, etc. I will try my hardest to get those things I saw in the advertisment.
Even if I dont like what ever they are advertising It will stay in my head. Advertising to me is easy. Because If you have an open mind, then they can easily make you buy what ever they want you to buy.

Advertisments do no affect me because i dont want to be like anyone else but myself. Advertisments have no affect on me because they are not saying anything about me. They are talking about famous people or other people. But when i see an advertisment about a cool game or movie i will beg my mom to get me it. Other advertisments about teeth and hair have no affect on me.

Advertisement does afeect me sometimes. Most of the timres i can ignore the advertisement but when it is something i have been really wanting or something so cool I can not forget it. Advertisement to me is like an addiction. So when i get the money i have to have the thing whatever it is.SoI am addicted to advertisements.

I would say that adverising does affect me. Because, I would be watching t.v and i would see a good advertisement that really speaks to me and grags my attension and i would follow what that advertisement tells me what i should do. Advertisement doesn't 100% affect me, just a good portion of it does. I can't do all advertisement cause sometimes it requires an age limit but it still makes me wanna do what the ad tells me. I think advertisement affects everybody in some way just to them its not as affective as it appears.

In some predicaments advirtisments do affect me. The reason why is because when I see something is like or want but cant have its only for adults I get really upset because they only made that for 18 and older or even older. Sometimes most advertisments have a different affect on people because it can be about weight, your face and that most animals are coming toward extinction and that really hurts. Most advertisments have a different point of view but in my opinion theye do hurt me some times.

Ads do have effect on me sometimes. When the ads have something I like I have to get it. When ads have songs on them sometimes I remember it. Because its keep coming on and on. Ads sometimes make me want to buy what they got on the ad.

Advertisments have no affect on me because i dont care what my hair or teeth look like. But the advertisment about games and a cool movie make me want to get it i will beg my mom for it untill i get it. The advertisments about people doing things dont have any affect on me. They also dont harm me because they are not intended to me they are intended to a famous person or another person. When an advertisment says something that i have i will just change the channel or look away

Advertising does not really affect me. The only time advertising affects me is when I see something that I like. Other than that I dont pay attention to advertising.I buy what I want. I don'tlet other people influence me.

Anonymous said...

I so disagree with the statement. An avertisment has to affect some one in some kinda way whether its what style you wanna have or what food you wanna eat. If you see a Xbox or any game system on tv thats cool you are gonna want it and thats how it can affect you or your friends. If you see a ad on some food and, you want to eat that food or it looks good it affects you. Eighty percent of the time the clothes you buy you saw on some kinda ad or what you eat that night or what kinda car your mom or dad or anybody drives they saw it on the internet,tv,or news paper. Just like if your mom or dad see an ad for a sale at a supermarket or Target there going to check that sell out and they saw it in the news paper or something like that and the ads on tv even affect me so i dissagree.

Advetisments do not effect me. To me this statment is somtimes true. I let song from commercials get stuck in my head and read billboards all the time. But I wouldn't change the way I am, what I belive in, or what i look like because of a ad. Most of the time when Im watching T.V. or am on the internet I don't even pay attention to the ads because thats not what my main focus is.

No, advertising does not affect me.It doesnt effect me because i dont want most of the stuff their advertising. It also doesn't effect me because i know i probably wouldn't get it if i asked for it.

Yes, advertising does affect me in most cases. I usually see some cool electronic on T.V. and go for it for a while. I saw the ipod touch one day on T.V. and decided I had to have it, eventually I got it, I had to make a trade so the person couldn't say no. When i buy stuff by adds I see they are usually worth it. Overall adds have affected me a lot and I usaully listen to them if they are electronics...

I believe advertising does effect me at times. For example, when I hear a song on a commercial or radio ad, it gets stuck in my head, and then I can't get that product off my mind. Another is when I see cool clothes in a magazine or on tv, I always feel like I have to have them. So you feel like you need to find a way to get it. At other times, I find it really easy to ignore advertising. Like when I see an ad, I can tell its not worth the fuss. But really, advertising is still affecting you in some way, because either way, you're thinking about the ad.

Advertisment dose effect me. This is because most of the time when I see an Ad, i am sucked into it. While watching it, I am most likley wondering if this really works or if its a scam. After, seeing the Ad I wait until I hear people talking about it before I tryout the product. If not, I watch one of those TV shows that test out the products. After I try the product I recomend it to other people or warn them not to buy it.

Sometimes advertisments do attract my attention. Certain adds attract my attention like adds for shoes at Foot Locker and things like that. otherwise i just go on the computer and search my favorite stores and try to find something i might like. Most adds don't tell you all the detalis of that particular item.

Some advertising songs get stuck in my head for awhile and its hard to ignore them. If i've never heard of A brand before then I can ignore it. If its something I like or know, I usually watch the add. It can affect it just depends on the advertisement.

The statement "advertizing does not affect me" is false. I think this because if we didnt hae advertizing there would be no buisness. Nobody whould know about certan products. Some buisnesses would go out of buisness like, billboard sigh companies, and comercial companies. so with out advertizing we would be so far out of the loop.

I desagree that advertising can not effect you. I think it effects everyone. There is no one who doesn't get effected by adverrtising when you want to buy something. When i watch television and it's on comercial break I like to pay attenion to the addvertisings because if I didn't my parents would not know what I like and I garantee that most of the stuff I get I wouldn't like. I also like to say mommy or daddy can I maybe get it for chirstmas, my birth day etc.There are very few I don't pay attention.

I have to say something about advertisements. Sometimes I think that they are cruel,I mean people on television should feel bad about they self.
Another thing that I don't like about advertisement of thing some of the thing they are saying on the comercials are no t true that is what makes me mad.
The next time I see an advertisement I am going out of the room. But,some of the advertisements that be on comercials are true of what they say like some of the things that I have are from stores that sell them and they really work. So I will check the next time I see an advertisement I will check to see if the thing really works.

In my opinion, advertising does not affect me. When I watch t.v., or read a magazine, I mostly don't pay attention to all of the advertisement ads. Most of the ads that i see are not directed to me, or I am not interested in the product. I think that it can get really annoying when they repeat the same ads over and over again. All in all, these are some of the reasons why I think that advertising does not affect me.

sometimes advertising does effect me because if theres something on t.v or a billboard that i want i earn the money save up and i buy it but most of the stuff i think is directed to little children on the shows they want and sometimes i think commercials over exaggerate the product that they are trying to sell like movies they only show the funny parts on the commercials so you go see it and then it turns out that the only funny parts you already seen on the commercials.

I say true. yes i think a picture is worth thousand words. IT brings out your emotion. The picture can also start people to bring up why they feel that way .
