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

Nowadays multiple

Nowadays, multiple
ads are there

Suggestion
for
the media to lure people and in promoting their product companies sometimes forget about the norms of that
culture
for whom they are making those ads. I am personally against all those uncivilized ads

on, media
which can influence the interests of any

.
This
essay will discuss the potential damages, these ads are making on the cultures using examples of Oxford University research and Time Magazine survey to demonstrate points and support claims.
Firstly
, every nation has a limit to see the
type
of
content
on media. That’s why a
type
of expression is acceptable in one country but thought as obscene in another
society
because of the norms on which that
culture
is based.
For example
, according to a research done by Oxford University in the year 2015 on the
type
of
content
showcased in media ads and it is psychologically proven that too much violence and obscene material in the ads lead to more violence and rape in the
society
because people start idealizing these ads sometimes and try to adopt that fashion and
type
of violence which is shown in the media in the form of ads. So, it's better that media shows
such
content
which is acceptable in that particular country.
Secondly
, every
culture
has its norms on which that
society
is based. So, if we try to manipulate that
culture
with the norms of another
society there

society, there
would be a chance that it spread anarchy in that
society
and mass killings spread because of that particular ad which is showcased in the media.
For example
, Time magazine in 2016 surveyed the ad effects on multiple cultures of the world and it came to the conclusion that if we limit our
content
of ads we will save ourselves from the incidents like Rawanda Mass killing etc. So in order to avoid any
angriness
in the
society it’s

society, it’s
better to show that material which represents the
culture
of that country. To conclude, nowadays media ads are trying to enforce another
culture
on
people which

people, which
is not acceptable to most people. And if we want to avoid any
incidents it’s

incidents, it’s
better to make strong policies and the media is bound to showcase only that material
that is
acceptable. Once these strict media policies
are applied

to the ads, the popularity of media ads will grow in those people as well, who don't like media because of its bold behaviour.
