Commercials+and+Consumer+Society+-+Research+Questions

When developing my research questions, i was interested in several main topics. First and foremost, it was essential that I understand exactly how children perceive television commercials. Are they privy to the fact that they are being sold a product, or do they view them as extensions of the programs themselves? The second issue I was curious about was to what effect to these commercials serve to condition children into consumer society. Listed below are the primary research questions I set out to answer.

** 1) What effect do the advertizing pods have on viewers of iCarly? **
2) Who are the advertisments directed at? (Children, Parents, Boys, Girls ect.) 3) Are children aware that they are being sold something? 4) Do they serve to condition young children for consumer society? 5) What can we learn about how the creators of iCarly perceive their target viewers by the commercials present?
