Hi friends,

Advertisement is the only way of communication between the company and its customers.

According to me advantages of ads overshadows its disadvantages. Many informative ads like Polio, tobacco ill effects, rural development are being featured on television, which provides those information which a layman would not be knowing but, is beneficial for them.

And I don't agree that ads can mislead customers as ads just gives you insight about the product, it does not forces you to buy that product or avail that service and customer's are not so foolish that they will follow the ad blindly.

So, banning the ads is no solution. It's just customers should choose wisely that which product they should buy after watching it's advertisement.

Thanks.

Hi Friends,

When We Talk About Advertisment it has Advantage And Disadvantage too.

We know that it should not be possible to banned the advertisment because arround 600 billion doller money that is spend on the only advertisment.

Advatnage of Advertisment.

1. Advertismnet Gives Us Idea and Information About Products and All So That We Can able to Differntiate Between Many Products and We Can Buy a Better Product.

2. Nowdays We Have Busy Shedule So We Can Go Everytime in The Market To Shop Something or For Information Or Ideas About New Products, At This Time Adevertisment Helps Us.

3. Most Of The People Do Not Aware About How To Use Some Products So by The Help of Advertisment they Can Understand.

Disadvantage of Advertisment.

1. In The Advertisment All Products Shows That They Are Superior So People Can Also Confused About Which Product They Should Buy.

2. Many Types of Bold and Adult Advertisment Are Not Good For Us As Well As Our Children Too.

3. As Many People Mention About The Ad of Fair & Lovely I Also With Them That They Show Color Descrimination.

I Dont Think That Is Good Either For Our Country or Either Another Country.

4. There Are Many Cases That People And Children Doing The Same Thing That Is Shown In Advertisment And.

They Got Injured And Some Cases They GoT Died Too.

So In My Opinion, Those Advertismemt Should Be Banned That Shows Nudity, Adultism, ColorDescrimination or they Create Some Other Issue.

Thank you.

Advertisements make people aware about the the products available in the market. Though there are advertisements that mislead people, it is in the hands of the customer to check the commodity before buying. We cannot blame the advertising agencies for airing fake advertisements. Instead we as the citizens should be aware and not fall prey to any such FALSE ads. If advertisements are banned, then the customer will not be aware about the new products available in the market. In a situation where we say that India is a progressing country, banning the advertisements will lead to nothing but less of awareness and more of chaos.

Apart from this, the advertising industry is an established one. Banning this industry will lead to unemployment and the new generation interested in it will not be able to express their knowledge and ideas effectively.

Hello, friends.

Well, in my opinion, advertisements do cheat people in Many cases like.

1. Advertisements of beauty products like fair n lovely etc. By seeing these ads people spend millions to get fairer.

2. Advertisements help in promoting colour discrimination which is very bad.

3. Some advertisements are very bold like ads of condoms n deodorant that they may affect children badly.

4. Many people get easily manipulated by watching big movie stars doing the ad of some particular thing n buy them without knowing much about the products.

I think only those ads should be shown on TV which is really gd for the people n should not manipulate common Man by using the support of big film stars.

Advertisements should be considered only as a source of information. And it is only a medium to reach people. It depends on how we people take it. We should be wise enough to think about the product and take good decisions.

In my point of view, ads should not be banned, because ads should give the information about the product and we can choose the better product. If we like the product, just we can buy it unless if we don't like ignore it. It's not at all solution to be banned. In our day to day life, people are not foolish to see the adds and buying blindly. So that adds are only for to choose the better product. Somewhat fake adds are still going after that we have to enquire that adds either it is real or fake.

Advertisement mislead the public.

They claim discount but actually there is no discount. They increase the price and then comes to the actual price.

And they say buy 1 and get 1 free. Nothing like that actually happens they double the price of one item and then give you two.

In food the add fillers in order to increase the weight.

And you all have experienced this at least once. How do you feel when and great actor on TV. Opens a packet of chips and pick up one from the top and eat but when you buy the same packet of chip you need to dig your hand in the packet and then one chip.

Hi, I am Nistha Sharma from Kathmandu the capital city of Nepal.

According to me, what I feel is I don't think advertisement should be banned because there are many aspects through which people are benefited. Firstly the unemployment rate decreases and they can easily maintain their living standard, similarly, it acts as the medium of communication between a company and the company masses. Likewise, we can also be familiar with varieties of commodities with the help of advertisement. Apart from that it also helps us to aware the people through various aspects like eradication of polio, aid awareness, creating varieties of awareness by discouraging bribes. So because of this reason what I think I advertisement shouldn't be banned. I extremely agree every thing has its merits and demerits similarly this advertisement also has demerits but besides its demerits, it has tons and tons of merits which can easily cover the demerits of it so what I personally feel is advertisement should not be banned rather it should be done in a wise and in a systematic manner. Thank You!

According to my opinion adverstisements should not be banned. As we know very well that there were two sides of a coin so do advertisement does. The positive impact of advertisement is that it acts as the medium of communication between a company and the common masses. In this fast world people don't have the time to search for a product's details but a 30-50 seconds ad make us aware of not only the product's quality but also the technology it is providing us. I think common masses are nt so foolish that they should be easily cheated by this ads. Again the ads made by renowned companies like bajaj, herohonda, tata are not making vague ads as we know the quality of products they deliver to us. Again the ad made by tourism department of government of India endorsing amir khan showing the hospitality of India to foreigners is it cheating people? again certain ads also proved to be a boon of social awareness like eradication of polio, aids awareness, sarbha sikha abhijan. Recently the ads made by tata tea help to create awarness about discouraging bribes. Again shikha abhijan ads help to educate millions of poor girls.

So I think advertisement are not a bunch of lies.

According to me, advertisements should be banned. As it spoils the growing children. If they will show the add children will get addicted to the products and sometimes the adults. As I know lot of money is spent on advertisement, WHY? because they know that the people will be addicted to the product and wish to buy. If their product is not selling in good quantities, they will keep a product free with the selling product to increase the selling quantities. So I conclude that don't addict to add and waste money on waste and defective products.
