Some of the methods used in advertising are unethical and unacceptable in today’s society. To what extent do you agree with this view?

Advertising methods nowadays make
use
of immoral and inappropriate content.
Although
commercials play an important role in product marketing, I completely agree with the argument that some of the advertisements
use
inappropriate ways of promotion.
To begin
with, some of the adverts spread / show false information about the product resulting in customer dissatisfaction. Some commercials
such
as fairness and skin creams try to lure the customers by making false
claims but
Accept comma addition
claims, but
when they
use
these products, they do not get satisfactory results.
In addition
to
this
, some of the ads
use
stunts and other pernicious activities to influence people.
Although
these kinds of commercials target customers of all ages, their influence / impact on youngsters is the highest.
Consequently
, the children want to purchase these products and try to imitate the stunts shown in the commercial at home.
For example
, by showing
dangerous car
Suggestion
a dangerous car
and bike stunts in the Thumps Up commercial,
this
company is casting the negative impression on the minds of youngsters that by consuming
this
drink, anyone would be capable of performing dangerous stunts.
Furthermore
, some of the advertisements contain vulgar and obscene content that can badly influence the young minds and force them to go astray.
In addition
to
this
, by using child actors in fast food, cold-drinks and chocolate commercials, these companies try to attract the children.
As a result
, youngsters nowadays consume more fast food, cold-drinks and chocolates
instead
of
home cooked meal
Suggestion
a home cooked meal
home cooked meals
.
Moreover
, due to the all pervasive commercials, there is an increase in the financial burden on parent’s shoulders because they have to put up with the demands of their children. To exemplify
this
, by getting influenced by the Sony Play station advert, my cousin forced my uncle to purchase it for him. After a lot of arguments, my uncle gave in and he had to buy that play station to his son. In conclusion, I reiterate that some companies
use
inappropriate and unethical ways to advertise their products and
this
practice results in consumer dissatisfaction and detrimental impacts on children and individuals.
