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.

Advertisement make people know about products. To some extent nature itself advertises her wares, for instance, the colour and smell of flowers is nothing but advertisement to attract the attention of insects and birds and the promise of honey is the gift. So ads are good.

Many advertisements are highly objectionable because they undermine values and ethics. Vulgar advertisements offend public decency and encourage materialism in the society. Another objection is that advertising influences the mind of public.

It creates the desire and taste for new products which are not actually necessities of life and income of consumers will not let them enjoy. Advertising may thus be regarded as the cause of unrequited desire which may result in unhappiness.

According to me advertisements have lots of importance in our lives. Advertisments acts like a medium through which the public can get aware about the new products, upcoming products and the offers.

Advertisements is a way of getting information about the new products in the market and if it will be banned then the it will be disadvantageous for customers as they will not have any information about the products in market and they can buy the wrong one.

But we can't ignore the bad side of advertisements as they sometime mislead us by showing fake videos but everything has two phase we can't ignore its usefulness and the consumer should be smart enough that he should not become fool by such ads!

Hai friends.

In my opinion, advertisement spreads the awareness about the products available in the market to customers who ready to buy the products. And ads just give you insight about the product it doesn't force you to buy the product.

Finally, I conclude advertisements are good for the customers and banning of ads is the not solution.

I think all above thinking is biased, but as per my views, advertisements have really cheated the people by giving unusual advertisement of product today's generation knows each and everything that they advertise and they think that people don't know. What they sell and what they really show In this world everyone aware. I think fake advertisements never get success so. It should be banned and real advertisement of products only switched and telecast.

I think advertisements should not be banned but some risky product ads should be banned like tobacco, chewing gum, etc because it is so harmful to our body and some beauty products are also harmful to our skin. We get attracted to those products and we think to buy them and then we spend or million money on that. But some ads are too good for getting job for wedding and for children etc. So I think only some ads should be banned not all.

Thanks for reading.

According to my opinion adverstisements should not be banned. As we know very well that there were two sides of a coin so do advertisement does. The positive impact of advertisement is that it acts as the medium of communication between a company and the common masses. In this fast world people don't have the time to search for a product's details but a 30-50 seconds ad make us aware of not only the product's quality but also the technology it is providing us. I think common masses are nt so foolish that they should be easily cheated by this ads. Again the ads made by renowned companies like bajaj, herohonda, tata are not making vague ads as we know the quality of products they deliver to us. Again the ad made by tourism department of government of India endorsing amir khan showing the hospitality of India to foreigners is it cheating people? again certain ads also proved to be a boon of social awareness like eradication of polio, aids awareness, sarbha sikha abhijan. Recently the ads made by tata tea help to create awarness about discouraging bribes. Again shikha abhijan ads help to educate millions of poor girls.

So I think advertisement are not a bunch of lies.

In my opinion advertisement are not completely good not completely bad. Some advertisements good some are bad. Some gave how is useful that product how much cost it. Some advertisements are cheat the people with their cheap and quantity less products customers buying that products blindly in my opinion advertisement completely banning not correct we must and should ban but not advertisement only useless and time waste advertisements.

Thank for giving this choice.
