1) Advertisements influence consumption by making us buy their product. Advertisements exist to make us do something; to buy their product. Which uses up materials and things that we don't need that ends up in landfills, causing consumption on to Earth.
2) No, because advertisements on billboards, TV, websites, newspapers, etc, only say the positive things about the product. The people who are trying to make us buy the product only say good things because if they list the negative things, we probably won't buy it.
3) Yes, because whatever we get is because of a celebrity or it looks cool, etc. If it's a celebrity, people want to be like them and they make us think that if we buy it, it makes us cool. Or maybe the way they show the commercial like in the "Lucky Charms" cereal. It's all magical, sparkly, and the kids think it gives you luck, making the kids want to buy it.
