    I think for us, and all teens, advertising is very VERY common. Look at how everyone reacted to “brand day” and “no-brand day.” Remember the amount of “brand” clothes we wore? Think of how hard it was to wear no brands the next day! I, personally, am always surrounded by commercials and ads on the TV, magazines, newspapers, billboards, radios, the internet… etc.If we see something new and exciting on television, we automatically want to buy it. So advertising does play a HUGE role i our lives.

    I think advertising plays a pretty big role in my life. Even though I don’t go looking for it, it’s still all over the place- on the clothes I wear, in the newspaper, on the computer, on the television. I’m probably not AS influenced by it as others might be, because, thanks to the ridiculous amount of time I spend on homework some days, I don’t watch that much tv. Even so, a lot of the clothes I wear come from one brand or another, and I see advertisements pretty much almost everywhere I look.

    Advertising plays a HUGE role in my life. Some examples:

    -I LOVE funny comercials
    -I have lots of shirts, snow globes, etc. from places where I’ve been
    -my dad has multiple little “goodies” (if you can call notebooks, bracelets, computers, pens, etc. “goodies”) that have his compony’s name (BBVA) written (or in the computer’s sake “screensavered/wallpapered” across it.

    If you took away advertising in my house (and life) you wouldn’t be left with much.

    Advertising plays a big role in my life. Most of everything I where has at least one advertisement on it. It was challenging to where something that did not have any advertisement on it. The only way I got the extra point on the quiz was to cover up the advertisement on my shoes with paper taped on.

    Advertising plays a huge role in my life. It is so hard for me not to wear or let alone, touch advertisments. I have soooooo many advestisments when i dont even go out and look for them. Everyone is surrounded by ads, whether it is on a billboard, clothing, or blimp. I think that it was extermely hard for people to wear non branding clothing items on “non-brand day”, but easy to wear brands when it was “brand day”. As Kevin said, “Its extremely hard for me too not wear ads”

    I agree that it is impossible to avoid ads in life. Customers are paying companies to advertise THEIR products, and the customers don’t even realize it. After this unit, i have been looking at the advertising world a different way. Even as i look around now i see ads everywhere! Clothes, foods, books, school supplies, computers, etc

    Advertising doesn’t play a huge role in my life,but I see it a lot, mainly on what I wear. Probably the second most common place I see ads is on tv. I see a lot of comercials, but a lot of them are very repetitive, so when I had to fill out the advertisement observation sheet for homework, I had to think about it quite a bit. (This was partially because I don’t read magazines or see computer advertisements very often.) That observation sheet sort of revealed to me that advertisement doesn’t play a huge role in my life, it’s just there.
