Suggested answer
The two texts discuss the pros and cons of advertising to young
people. Text 1 claims that young people have an enormous impact on
what the people around them, friends and family, decide to spend
their money on, even affecting decisions normally made by adults.
Not only this, but young people, unlike older ones, do not spend time
carefully considering their purchases or asking around to get advice.
Text 2 argues that, even though there is some unease about targeting
young people with advertising, in fact, this group have some
immunity to it as they have been subjected to it over a long period of
time. There is also the point that advertising can enable young people
to make sensible decisions about their purchases by giving them the
facts they need about the goods advertised.
