Answer

  1. In the main photo and the middle left photo, we can see fans. They are often influenced greatly by the sportspeople they support and admire in that they spend a lot of time watching them and talking about them. In the top left photo, we can see an advert for Coca-Cola. Advertising in general deliberately sets out to influence consumer behavior. The bottom left photo shows an older man, possibly a grandfather, with a young boy. Older generations often influence the upbringing of the young.
  2. Often people's ideas and opinions are shaped by the media. The media select the stories we read about and present them in the way they think is appropriate. This affects the way we think. Also, advertising in the media often, affects our choices when we purchase something.
