You cannot always say that advertisements cheat people. The companies always have a long term prospective in mind. They do the various advertisements knowing that they have to survive in the market. They are not here for a one time sell. If they cheat people by their advertisements then their products may be sold in the market for 1-2 times but after that it will be very difficult for the company to survive in the market. People will have ill feeling for their products & it will also spread to others through word-of-mouth.

We shouldn't ban advertisement because by advertisement we can get many information about any new scheme and product and most important thing that there are so many people are getting employments. If we will bend the advertisement so we'll have to face unemployment problems but we should change per-forma of advertisement like government must remove vulgarity in advertisement for this govt. Will have to make new rules and regulation.

Advertisements does not cheat people. Within short span of time it reach the people's mind over world. Many products have been developed and reaches people easily. Social awareness advertisements for exmple HIV, AGARAM FOUNDATION, SHIKSHA which is very useful to children and people. Without advertisement we cannot imagine the world. Microsoft is partner of facebook for sharing advertisements.

Advertisements are not supposed to be banned completely. Because according to my point of view advertisements are the only form in the field of media which acts as a bridge of communication in between the producers and the consumers. Its through advertisements that the common people are been given an opportunity to know about the new technological advancements. Besides industrial promotion the media of advertisements are been adopted by the government to spread the knowledge about the new schemes formulated. The main advantage is that even the people who are illiterate are also able understand the idea through the visual presentation. Thus both the industries and the government are able to convey necessary messages to the public.
But still the government must introduce certain policy measures regarding these advertisement media to avoid over interruption to the sensational issues and also to avoid vulgar presentations. Through such limitations a healthy sustainity of advertisements can be assured to the entire public.

Advertisements are the medium of awareness whether they are for products, or services, or social issues.
Their are several categories of advertisements. Targeting emotions through advertisements is one of them. Probably common people are more attracted by this type of advertisement, and if not fulfilled, are felt like cheated.
The victim of cheating by advertisements is the reflection of unawareness. So, it is mandatory that the decisions should not be followed without looking at the actual uninfluencing part of it.
Banning is a difficult task. the companies which influence people may be following the advertisement norms and they are aware about the knowhow of rules and regulations. No advertisement has been published without sensoring.
So, it is our duty that we increase our awareness about the product or service or social issue, which has been advertised.

Advertisments, are the source of communication between the producers and consumers. They are more usful to us, than harmful. It is only through ads we come to know the about the products which are avaliable in market, they help us in making proper choices of any product which suits our requirement and also comes under our budget.
Besides the commercial ads, ads which tells us about govrnment schemes and policies, banking schemes, hospitals with modern treatment facilities etc are useful for one and all.
So according to me, ads should not be banned, instead consumers should not get completely lured by the ads, they should be alert while buying, and make sensible choices.

Advertisements should not be completely banned but they be kept a check on regarding the truthfullness of the various schemes. All what is shown in ads should be true and valid and not for cheating customers.
Advertisements are definately are source of info but they should be the same only to some extent. They should not provide invalid info and befool the customers.

Apart from having some disadvantages advertisements have many advantages.By the advertisement we able to know about the product before going to the shop.We can discuss about the product with people who used it.Without advertisement we shall not able to know about the new product and their qualities.Advertisement gives a consumer enough time to think which product he should buy and which not.In the end the last decision of purchasing the product is made by the customer not by the producer.
We should not ban the advertisements but take strong action to those companies who misleads people by advertising wrong facts about the product.
