People think they can resist advertising too! As I explained in my post above, it is absolutely absurd to think that smoking in movies does not influence kids in regards to smoking. This whole idea that one's culture has no bearing on one's actions is utterly devoid of real life support; culture seems the #1 factor in the differences between people's actions, and myth and media is a huge aspect of culture.
Of course people do not know how they are affected! And if you ask a devote Muslim if he would be Christian if he was born in the US then he'll probably say no too. They are wrong. People are not good at determining the obvious causes of their own actions.
