Every day, companies present the people with advertisements everywhere they go. Advertisements have become very prevalent in today’s society nowadays focusing in on a negative connotation. Advertisement has become an effective way for producers to display their new products. In present day, they come in forms of billboards, flyers, e-mails, and even text messages. It is widely known that companies create advertisements to persuade people to buy specific products or goods; however, it is not widely known that advertisements can make a negative impact on today’s society. The companies manipulate people’s mind and emotions, swaying people by new promotions and therefore generating a strong desire to fit into the society, that causes them to make inessential expenditures.

Advertising in the modern day has developed alongside the advent of business ethics as a scholarly and academic practice. As the ethical environment of business has seen a surge in study and discipline, advertising has undergone even more intense scrutiny and discussion. Though advertising and criticism is no new marriage as it has been under the microscope since its takeoff in the 1930s, developments in both approach by advertisers and its critiques has lead to an even heavier discussion than before.

In today’s society the only way to become a famous musician is to have good music that fans will like. One of the ways fans learn about an artist’s new songs is through ads. A fan would be watching TV or listening to music on their smartphone, and an ad might pop up with their favorite artist’s new song. The fan would most likely wonder what is was and download it. Artists should continue to allow their music to be placed in advertisements because it helps them earn money, and it can help them get recognized.

Companies like Victoria’s Secret and Aerie has shaped societal views on how women should look in lingerie. They use super skinny supermodels with long legs, big boobs, a small waist and long hair to promote their companies in ads and fashion shows.

As markets grow and develop so do advertisements and people’s wallet size. Many of the articles and even videos we see today have some form of click-bait to them. Many people have felt the urge to click on an article or link that seems appealing. Yet come to find out it’s just an ad for some weird product or service and as consumers, we buy into it.

I believe that the role of advertising is to create desire in consumers, rather than needs. These desires need not reflect the needs of the consumers at all. While there are elements of advertising that do not explicitly create desire some advertising may create awareness, for example, the primary role that advertising plays in our society is to manufacture desire. This paper will make the case that the role of advertising is to create demand; it is not a reflection of demand.

As part of a capitalistic country, advertisements play an important role in business progression and consumer decisions in the United States, due to its aid to consumers to help make a purchase that would, in turn, help businesses and themselves go about their daily lives. With advertisements cleverly materializing on billboards, television, and a myriad of locations on the seemingly infinite space of the Internet, there is bound to be at least one that affects one 's decision-making process either the most or rather significantly. An advertisement that protrudes out into the light of memorable pieces of art, in terms of composition simplicity and personal impact, is an ad for Microsoft 's Windows 7 Operating System, intelligently titled "Life Without Walls". Using Jib Fowles’ Fifteen Basic Appeals, this ad for their personal computer operating system appeals towards the need for guidance, achievement, and the need to escape, while secondarily appealing towards the need for autonomy and to satisfy curiosity in a way that is pristine and superb.

Nine hundred sixty three million dollars was spent this year by McDonalds on advertising. This is up 8 percent from last year. The sad truth is that the number of fast-food ads produced each year is increasing, as well as the percentage of obese people in the United States. Advertisements of high in sugar and calorie foods are almost directly related to obesity within America. There needs to be a stop to this epidemic. Companies spend vast amounts of money to put out an enormous amount of ads. Many of which are viewed by children ages 2-11. On average children in the US see about 253 McDonald’s ads a year. One might see common fast-food ads on TV, billboards, or just about anywhere else in the media. Advertising is a growing market and it is expanding all the time.

You can detect media bias through any type of advertisement or broadcast, from televisions, radios, posters, and billboards. when you feel that the advertisement is trying to persuade you to think or act a certain way about a specific situation or group, then that is media bias. You can detect propaganda when the information giving on the advertisement is trying to influence you to be with or against something. Or if it is an item that can be bought or sold, the advertisement will use propaganda to try to persuade you to buy it. The advertisement would say things like “DO YOU WANT YOUR HOUSE CLEAN AND SPOTLESS, LOOKING BRAND NEW? WELL, BUY THIS CLEANING KIT AND WATCH YOUR HOUSE TRANSFORM INTO YOUR DREAM CLEAN CASTLE.” Also, you see propaganda

Furthermore, the main aim of advertising is to ‘persuade’ to consumer in order to generate new markets for production.

To understand how advertising may be seen as a vehicle for capitalism we must first understand what capitalism is. Fulcher (2003) describes capitalism as “the investment of money in the expectation of making a profit” (p. 14). Holms (2017) argues that modern capitalism is an economic system where needs can be met through the process of trade with a mind to the calculations of income or more particularly profit realised through the exchange of property. Meaning that a capitalist economic system works by investing in trade and also in wage labour, where people’s time and labour are bought with wages to create a product and then sold for profit. For a capitalist economic system to be successful it needs both the buyers and sellers to continue buying and selling.
