Advertisement should not be banned according to me advertisement gives us information about goods and products. Always new goods are come in market we get these information by advertisement. It takes very important role in in our life. All application forms for job in company come in newspaper by the means of advertisement. I always agree on this because it very simple way to sent information about anything. It always helps people to buy he products. THANKS.

Advertisements spread awareness among people about various products available in the market by describing product specifications, so consumers are able to choose among the best available. But now a days many advertisements are misleading people (for example deodorant, face-creams, inner-wears, etc. Advertisements).
To restrict such advertisements government should take initiatives such as if any misleading advertisement is broadcast ed the advertisement agency, manufacturing company and the advertising actors will be held responsible and strict action will be taken against those found guilty.

Now a days advertisement is big industry which provides lots of jobs to the people who have ability to endorse the object or who have capability to express the object in different way. So if we banned ads then all the people who lives on this industry will lose their jobs. About millions of people who are working in this industry will go to the end.

To my mind I agree with that people only they are saying that add. Is good for society. Because add is the thing that gives the knowledge about the products and things and also now a days its provide the awareness about the politics. And so on just thing like that if add are banned so when that people are open the new class shop etc how to that promote them.

According to my point of view advertisements have many advantages over disadvantages, so advertisements should not be banned. Instead of banning, government should make a board to check whether the ad is good or bad before publishing it. If the board feels that the ad is good & there is no any part that can mislead the people then it should be published.

I completely agree with the concept that advertisement is a source of information. It is the individual who needs to decide upon good over bad or advantage over disadvantage. If we know what we want in actual term then no one can fool us. I only suggest to have good insight so as to decide & not to carried away with other's opinion.

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.

AS the media is the biggest asset to highlight a news in same advertisement is the biggest asset of products for their promotions. Basically advertisement behaves like a medium to attract the customers. As we know no one is perfect all have some advantage and disadvantage.
Advantage and disadvantage are like two sides of coin. In advertisement they only show their good quality of the product they don't show side effects of the product. We can't say that total fault is advertisement. It's depend o0n our decision. How we take the decision. To select a product. I think it's good thing.

Wow, just saw an advert on TV "Text Cheat and yours and your partners names to find out if he/she is cheating on you!" How in the world does that work? and how can that be legal? This is completely false and gives you a computer generated number at random. If that is not misleading, please tell me what is? They are preying on the weak minded in order to make money.

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.
