I disagree with the statement as a businessman one doesn't want customers to get cheated and exploit not for robbing the customers but to create goodwill in the market the most important part of business is customer satisfaction, and if the customer is exploited.
Nowadays, there are many courts in India, like consumer court, where he can complain about the exploitation. This would damage the goodwill of the organisation and lead to a decline.
So it is harmful for businessman and the consumer also as the realation between consumer and businessman is like a matchbox and matchstick the matchstick cannot be burned without rubbing on the box same a business cannot be started without the consumer.
So one should always try to earn the trust of the customer this would lead to immense growth in his business and overall economy.

Advertisements are an important tools of companies as people come to know about their product whether it can persist or sustain for long run period or short term period. Advertisements acts as a mean of letting know the people about the specification of various product.
I think advertising about the products is just a medium thing to attract consumers. Advertisements show only good things about the product and don't give us any in formation about the products side effects and harmful effects. It is just a money taking task rather than a source of information.
So according to me advertisements should not be banned instead consumers should not get completely attracted by the advertisements and they should be alert buying the product and make sensible choices.

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.

According to me, ads are more essential. They create awareness among the people about the products. By these ads, we come to know about the latest product in the product. It can be viewed by everyone. It does not contain any harmful or bad content. Only the products we are using are been shown, it is not that much bad. Many of you said it is inappropriate to children, Children do not prefer ads, they often change the channel while there is a break. If they see it also, they do not understand it. The Only issue is that Market people grasp our attention towards their product by lowest price and good quality. Everyone ensure the product very clearly and use it. So I conclude by saying that ads are useful, they should not be banned.

Hi friends.
Advertisements never fool the people infact there are some advertisement Like Tobacco Chewing is injurious to health they are highly appreciable because younster's are more grasped by TV and Add so if they watch once these kinds of advrtise there even chances for them to change slowly.
And ads like HIV, ESIC info are made for people evn at the rural areas so that they would benefited polio droops and all is explained by celeb like Mr. Amitabh so people would keenly watch those and get beneficial.
But there are sum add Like Condomns And another Deo's rubbish add which parents cannot watch in front of small children these should be aired only after 11pm and not on the family channels.

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.

Hi friends well many of you are just seeing the advent side of advertisement but according to my point of view it is being adopted by so many companies for demand forecasting. Advertisement is an important tool by which companies do come to know about their product whether it can persist or sustain for long run period or short term period.
Advertisement only acts as a mean of letting know the people about the specification of various product. Suppose if a company launch the product before first being advertised then not many consumers will be willing to buy that product. So taking all this into the consideration advertisement is very much important from all side of aspect.

I would like to share few points about "Are advertisements should be retained or not?".
In my point of view, the advertisement is good for us, because it give us basic information on the product. It is the medium between customers and sellers. It does not force the customers to buy the product, these depends on the customer's mentality they agree or not. Sometimes it works as a platform of mass awareness and advertisements are very much useful in mass communication. Few times they provide us wrong information, but it is not a solution to banned the Advertisement.
Finally, I conclude that advertisements should be retained but should canvas its object in a truthful manner.

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.

Good morning,
As per my perception, Advertisements cheat people on daily basis. In the age of throat neck cut competition, all organization wants to go ahead and be strong in the market compared to other. For doing this they fool people by advertisement. The advertisement is the medium of exploring you are a product to the consumer. All companies do this. But for showing their product better, they use false advertisement. Like fairness, the company does advertisement of being fair after 4 weeks. It is completely false according to science. Toothpaste and toothbrush company do advertise of white teeth in a couple of weeks. So government should ban false advertisement.
