I have realized that TV advertising affects my buying pattern, but the most effective is word of mouth... it really works.

Depends on your moral and ethical beliefs. Whether you believe it is stealing or whether you believe turning it in makes you a better person. It is all based on what kind of person are you.

Generally I feel this question deals with advertising/marketing and motivational factors\n\nIn general, one theory esposes that by targeting a specific group of user, they (group) have a higher propensity to switch buy/use a product.\n\nAnother theory contends advertising has greater strength in its ability to motivate brand swiching rather than promote product usage.\n\nThe controversy lies in the question of message communication to create a "call to action" for the consumer to use any product within its cagegory  verses a "call to action" which motovates a current user of one brand to simply swich brands.\n\nThe tobacco industry has tried to say advertising tobacco products do not motivate the consumer to smoke but rather advertising simply helps with brand switching among current users.\n\n\nI'll let the original person decide which it might do!\nI hope this give some clarification of product using verses brand switching.

Consciously?  I tip based on the service.  Sub consciously... the opinion of the service is most likely influenced if I find them cute and attractive.

Do you mean examples of how consumer buying choices affect public health?  If so:\n\nAlcohol:  Buying and consuming alcohol doesn't always just affect the consumer.  It can affect others if the someone drinks, gets angry, takes it out on his or her family.  Or drives a car after drinking and hits somebody.  Alcohol can even cause people to do things they wouldn't normally do, like have unsafe sex and spread a disease.\n\nCondoms:  Purchasing and using condoms protect against the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, which greatly affect public health.\n\nCigarettes:  Those who smoke end up not only affecting themselves, but also others around them.  There are people who are allergic to secondhand smoke.  It can also affect the unborn in terms of low birth weights and premature birth.\n\nFast food:  I like McDonald's fries from time to time as much as the next person.  But there has been enough research done to show that fast food simply isn't good for our hearts, for healthy cell development, or for our waistlines.  \n\nCars:  The gasoline-powered automobile is wonderful for getting us to where we need to go, and connecting us more to each other.  But use of the automobile has also caused global warming which affects our longterm survival, and creates smog  which affects our lungs and breathing capability.  \n\nIf this was what you were looking for, I hope it helps!

Probably not. People who lie about one thing tend to lie about others, also.

I am not a fashion buyer, but have seen numerous shows depicting what they do.  Fashion buyers work in numerous settings.  If hired by a department store, they contact designers of clothes from around the world that they hope fit what the store is trying to sell and decide which items to recommend the store buys to sell to the general public.  A sucessful buyer is one who manages to figure out what people will buy and has a read on what future trends might be in the industry.

I think this can apply to women too. It depends on how selfish the person is.

No\nI buy gas from people who hate my country\nI buy goods from people who pollute my country\nI buy things from people who's religion conflicts with mine\nI buy from both union and nonunion stores\nI buy services from people with different politics from me\nI buy both foreign and domestic goods\n\nYeah, I buy an occasional Girl scout cookie or pink soup can, but for the most part, very few truly use a significant amount of buying power to support their beliefs, and that is more than offset by the amount of buying power expended to those who oppose them.  Reality, what a concept.

I tend to agree. (Note the quote says an "element" of narcissism, not that shy people = narcissists).  \nThere is something very egocentric about believing that you and your appearance really matters to other people.\n\nThat doesn't mean that shy people are "bad" or "egotistical", but they are putting way too much emphasis on the impact they think they have on other people.

It's really quite simple. In a buyer's market where there are multiple goods on sale from a variety of retailers then you could wander around until you found the article that you want at the cheapest price or even barter if retailers are desperate for business due to competition.\n\nHowever the saying is not derived from this. It's a reference to the choices you make in life and the consequences of those choices. Thus making the choice is your decision provided that you accept, when making that choice, that there may be repercussions at some future time from taking that path.\n\nAn example could be deciding to drop out of college to take a job as, say, a shop assistant. In the short term you may think that it's a good choice because you suddenly have money to spend and, to your friends, an increase in status due to you working rather than going to college. However some way down the line when they have all graduated and got better jobs than you it becomes apparent that you may have made a wrong decision since they will now earn more than you and have a higher status. If there is no way back it could be said that 'you paid your money and took your choice' with unfortunate results.

It means you think nothing of sacrificing your individuality in order to 'fit in' with other's expectations, and that you are easily manipulated by those who would sell you things you don't need.\n\nThis does not ONLY apply to clothes!
