These days we see more and more TV commercials emerging targeting young viewers. The impacts of those vivid images and content on the younger generation can vary from case to case, but I believe in general, people should start moderating and monitoring the ads for the sake of the

In short, while the widespread use of on-air advertising conveys a wealth of information to
children
 and adds colour to their lives, its negatives should not be easily overlooked and require urgent intervention before they become more severe.
