Advertisement laws should be tighter. Some advertisements trick people illegally in buying their goods, like on television, small print and actual prices are sometimes shown too fast, and we cannot read them. Sometimes, small print says "refer to www.--.com for terms and conditions. " and most of the disclaimers are there. It rather cheats people into thinking. Do you know, sometimes there is this ad ask or search. snapdo that "you are the 100, 000 visitor!" or "This is not a joke! you are our hundredth visitor! click this. " The way to know whether this is a scam is to open the same website three four or five times, if this ad appears again, it's a scam.

Hi friends.
To accede to above statement will be like giving green signal to 'playing safe' in-spite 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 !

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.

Hello everyone. Advertisement is a medium to connect to the targeted audience. So in that scenario it should not be banned. It is way to convey the latest updates regarding a product. But few times advertisers resort to unfair practices by lying to people or showing false claims. So advertisement authorities should check this discrepancies and issue stricter rules and regulations for advertisers. Consumers should made educated regarding the products they want to use. So instead of just trusting everything they see and hear consumers should check the authenticities to avoid falling prey of the false advertisements. Thank you.

Hello Friends, According to my perception, Ads should not be banned at all. Though they intervene in our interest in TV shows, yet they are of great importance. A person cannot directly approach the company to take stock of the new products launched. It's the advertisement only that act as a middleman for making the new product info. Reach upto the common man.
Advertisements are not only confined to TV ads. Even the company's launch their vacancies in the form of advertisements only. It is the best, cheapest and the fastest way of making people aware of the job. SO I never perceive ads as a bane to the society.

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.

In the era of science, we need many products and facilities. But how?
An advertisement is the only way to get information that through many sources. It's true that some companies are using unnecessary and false information and things to get attentions of the customers. These should not be banned but the government should control over these companies to not misguide the people.
Whether it does not force but liable for that. For our security of life, we should watch/listen to advertisements but inspire them only by self-satisfactions.
Banned something is not the only way to get rid of something.
Thanks.

Hello everyone, this is Ajay Kumar.
My opinion on this topic is that advertisement should not be banned because it helps to bring awareness amongst the people that which product is good to use or which product is bad for us. By the advertisement, we came to know about the variety of different types of products as we want. If we like the product then we purchase it bot if we don't like it then avoid it. Nowadays, somehow people are able to differentiate between the good and the product. Somewhat fake add are still showing but we have careful about that before purchasing.
Thank you for reading my opinion.

Advertisements cheat people only to some extent, and even people should be aware of fake advertisements, it's definitely a medium where the information about the particular product can be conveyed. And moreover if we ban advertisements there will be an increase in unemployment rate as everyone of us know that people are doing a separate course it is also a way of earning hence it shouldn't not be banned as there will be increase in unemployment rate even add agencies contribute to economic GDP so there will be fall in economic GDP as well, but some changes with regard to advertisement can be made.
