with, the fact that we cannot escape from advertising is a significant cause for complaint. Constant images and signs wherever we look can be very intrusive and irritating at times. Take

for example

, advertising on the mobile phone. With the latest technology mobile companies are now able to send advertising messages via SMS to consumers' phones whenever they choose.

Although

we expect adverts in numerous situations, it now seems that there are very few places we can actually avoid them. A

further

aspect of advertising that I would consider unethical is the way that it encourages people to buy products they may not need or cannot afford. Children and young people

in particular

are influenced by adverts showing the latest toys, clothing or music and

this

can put enormous pressure on the parents to buy these products.

In addition

, the advertising of tobacco products and alcohol has long been a controversial issue, but cigarette adverts have only recently been banned in many countries. It is quite possible that alcohol adverts encourage excessive consumption and underage drinking, yet restrictions have not been placed on

this

type of advertising in the same way as smoking. It is certainly true to say that advertising is an everyday feature of our lives.

Therefore

, people are constantly being encouraged to buy products or services that might be too expensive, unnecessary or even unhealthy. In conclusion, many aspects of advertising do appear to be morally wrong and are not acceptable in today's society.
