To accede to above statement will be like giving green signal to 'playing safe' inspite of taking risks. Advertisements are made so as to make people familiar with the product and simultaneously competing with other brands of the same product.

In doing so a company may accentuate more on its positive impacts but that nowhere implies it is cheating on people. But if advertisements are banned people will not come to know about the existence of things that will make their lives simpler and better. Consumers if feel cheated then they can always raise their voice against violation of consumer rights and can seek justice !

Hi friends.

Most advertisements and advertisers make totally false and tall claims, which is far from reality. And they call it creativity. It is nothing but lying and society tacitly grown to accept it. If the strict definition of "cheating" is taken, as is commonly defined in most countries across the world, then most advertisers and the companies would have to be put behind bars for the offence.

Yeah! even I feel that advertisement is just a way to communicate with people and make them know about the types of products present or available in market. I think that if they show off wrong details and wrong effects of a particular product, then we are smart enough to choose a best product.

I think advertisement is the good way to tell about the products. Those person are including in making so they are getting job means it is also removing our unemployement but some things are also becoming cheaper day by day like ex. Newspapers have the advertisement and news so owner's of newspaper also providing in cheap rate to the general people. And it is the best medium to represnt knowledge about product between sailor and customer but one thing is bad Advertisements are being done by mostly famous hence the price of product is increasing because the fees of those. So over all Advertisements is good.

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.

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, Advertisement is just a way to communicate with people about their product. Advantage and disadvantages are two sides of coins. It is useful to give awareness to the people. Decision are make by the people only not by the advertisement or a advertiser. We follow the right way.

Hi friends. Advertisements are not supposed to be banned completely because Advertisement is a main media for a company to introduce their product in a market and without advertisement people cannot get information's about any product that how many products are available in market and what are the benefits for using it. It creates awareness in customer mind.

Thank You.

According to my point of view advertisements must be banned because the bad advertisements we see in television they create a bad view in the mind of youngsters. They just watch this bad advertisements and do as they had watched in advertisements and the companies does not uses any ethics in showing advertisements I think the companies does not have any ethics like they show bad advertisements so at last but not at least bad advertisements must be banned.
