services and creates a more sustainable growth. Thus, both of these factors may contribute to the

development of a nation’s economy.

children. Advertising techniques, such as socially commercial and promotional videos, are used widespread

to attract many consumers, which result in their making impulsive purchases. Consequently, they may spend
