Some of the methods used in advertising are unethical and unacceptable in today’s society.
To what extent do you agree with this view?
With the passage of time,advertisement has become the need of this modern world.For this purpose, various modes have been developed to advertise in the most affective manner.These include newspapers,magazines,television and even through our mobile phones. But,sometimes we do find that some of them are unacceptable or even vulgar.
Although,some people may not agree with me .But,as far as my knowledge,experience,thinking and observation is concerned.I feel that everything has two sides and advertisement is not an exception.Though,there are some benefits, but, this does'nt give the advertising companies the right to cross limits.
To begin with,nowadays it seems very difficult to avoid them.Even in the situations when one is not in a good mood or is concentrating on something else and at that times ,they are very irritative.For example, when one is attending a funeral of some relative.Moreover,they can distract you from your work which can result in a serious loss, for instance, last year one labourer lost his life in a Cement Factory in Chicago while painting a high roof and he lost his concentration because of an advertisement which he received on his Android.Finally,advertising tobacco and alcohol is also a controversial issue.
On the other hand,there is a segment of society who believes that advertising by different means has brought us many benefits ,such as,it has made shopping very easier and customer-friendly.Furthermore,you can chose from a great variety of products .Lastly,this has created an environment of competition among different companies,which resulted in improvement of the quality .
Taking everything into consideration,it will not be gainsaid that arguments against the inappropriate use of advertisement hold water. In other words,the disadvantages of different means of advertisement outweighs its benefits. It is hoped that strategies will be implemented to bound different advertising companies to a code of ethics.
