From the Paper:

"The matter of whether or not certain kinds of advertising are morally wrong is an interesting issue - and a vitally important one. As our society becomes increasingly inundated with ever more sophisticated advertising, it behooves people to examine the kinds of advertising pervading our society; it also prompts the asking of many questions. To begin with, are some types of advertising morally wrong? If so, what ethical principles do they violate? These are critical questions and they demand answers."
