Advertising should be limited In today's world advertising plays an important role in influencing the thought processes, opinions and perceptions of our societies towards their “ daily necessities. In our busy, fast-paced, overscheduled lives, technology has advanced to the point that people believe their daily routine is the easiest and most convenient way to live, yet our perception of convenience is often masked by the social idea of "necessity ", which one might conclude are not necessary at all. It is said that "every coin has two sides", with its advantages, unrestricted advertising has negative effects. These negative impacts affect the economy, society and people in a very influential way. Unrestricted advertising has various effects on the economy. Advertising may be beneficial to the economy to some extent, however the actual burden of payments and fees falls on consumers. We know that an organization has to spend a large amount of money on advertising and also, to meet this expense, the price of the product has to be increased. No manufacturer does their own advertising, thus forcing them to have to hire someone to do it for them. Advertising therefore leads to unnecessary price increases. Sometimes a large company can spend millions and billions on advertising campaigns and bear the high costs of advertising by charging customers and consumers who purchase the product. In this reference it is said that advertising costs are passed on to consumers in the form of high prices. For example, if the factory cost of the Apple iPhone 16gb costs $600, due to advertising costs the market value of the iPhone goes up to $800. The weight of this $200 is placed on the cons… middle of paper… bad.” There is no doubt that certain long-term restrictions benefit society more than easing advertising limits. A restriction in the advertising industry equally balances the weight of the importance of society, economics and ethics. people have a clear vision of the things that are beneficial for them as they would not be misled towards purchasing an inferior product. Furthermore, holding society and ethics hand in hand, ethics is very important to present a clean society in front of the world. Limiting advertising would strengthen ethics, keep culture intact and benefit everyone. Indeed, advertising should be limited to make the world and society function more efficiently and ethically. “It did what all ads should do: create relievable anxiety with the purchase.” – David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest
