Consuming Kids



After watching the video, respond to 2 of the 4 questions that follow.

1.  Do the makers of this video seem to have an "agenda?"  If so, what is their purpose?
2.  Do you agree with the argument presented in this video, that advertisers are attempting to create a generation of "super consumers" out of today's youth?
3.  How has advertising to children changed over the years?
4.  With the ability of advertisers to reach people everywhere now (internet, TV, radio, smartphones, etc.), what kind of "consumer culture" do you believe will exist in 20 years - when you are adults, with jobs and children of your own?  Will you support the same buying habits in your children that you have now?

    3. Advertising has turned kids into a violent culture when boys always dress in hip-hop clothing always ready to fight and girls would always have to dress pretty and would make fun of a different girl's clothing.

    1. I think that the makers do have an agenda and I think that there main purpose is to protect children from courprit marketing.

    1. I thing for the most part the maker of this are presenting the facts about the issuer. But in some part the makers may bring their own options or only show one side of the argument, on placing limits on advertising to children and the type of soicity America is becoming .

    2. I agree with the facts about the argument and do think advertysers are markiting to children. But that the add makers right to advertice with out goverment intervention.

    2. Do you agree with the argument presented in this video, that advertisers are attempting to create a generation of "super consumers" out of today's youth?
    I agree with this argument because I see the start of it already cause there are more ads than when I was 8years old.


    3. How has advertising to children changed over the years?
    The way Advertising to children has changed over years is that they put advertisements on the internet. They follow around the children to see what they like so they can advertize that.
