Films play a large role in determining our attitudes about things that we wouldn't normally encounter e.g drugs. (Relate to SLT)

Films do consider the negative aspects of drugs, citing theft, rape and moral decline as examples

16/17

State that anti-drug campaigns actually increase drug use as they make it appear as the norm.

17/17

Found that although the majority felt that they weren't affected by adverts they thought that others were. Suggests that a) no-one is affected by adverts or b) everyone is but thinks they're not. Given that companies spend billions on adverts it's most likely to be b.
