Answer 2

We live in a consumer society where even the very young are conscious of famous brands such as Lego and McDonald's. Because of this, I think it's important to teach children to be wary of advertisements they see on TV. There are many companies that target young children through the products they sell. In order to increase their sales, they bombard young children with colourful and entertaining TV commercials. Marketing campaigns aimed at children often feature their favourite cartoon characters, so pre-schoolers need to be taught that not everything they're watching is a TV show. They also need to learn that companies often exaggerate the features of toys and may make promises they cannot keep.
