Abstract
This paper explain that, when strategically analyzing cigarette advertising in Canadian, emphasis must be placed upon what could realistically be achieved given the range of conflicting interests of all of the stakeholders in this debate. The author points out that the Supreme Court of Canada in the mid-1990s struck down a carefully crafted Canadian government policy, which radically restricted advertising by tobacco companies. The paper stresses that any successful advertising strategy must form a balance between utility and rights. The author relates that the concept of rule utilitarianism is a normative ethical model that provides us with some guidance in developing a strategic approach. The paper states that this model suggests that the advertising must not only be considered in terms of pure utility but also in terms of what is practically achievable given the complex range of interested stakeholders.
From the Paper
"Within these parameters, a strategic approach would balance the utility to the Canadian public from less tobacco promotion with the rights of freedom of expression of the tobacco companies to sell their products. It would be likely, for example, that the courts would consider a ban on advertising in media where it may be easily encountered by minors/children to be an acceptable limitation on the tobacco companies' freedom of expression. For example, cigarette advertising could be banned from television, movies and radio, as these media have a considerable youth audience."

Abstract
The paper explores the complex ethical questions involved in the debate over limiting the power of cigarette manufacturers to advertise. The paper explains that while limiting advertising can be justified from a utilitarian perspective, from a Kantian perspective of rights, such a limitation presents grave implications for the future of our society. The paper argues that a normative approach to this issue would be to recognize the importance of "rule utilitarianism" as opposed to pure utilitarianism as the key determinant of government action.
From the Paper
"The current situation would suggest that there is a clear and present for governments to take action given the need to protect the public interest, together with the need to counteract the resources available to the tobacco industry to sell their product. Indeed, the history of cigarette advertising is such that it would seem this argument is almost unquestionable. For example, this industry has a long history of using advertising to appeal to young people and the public at large by covertly covering up the effects of tobacco. Following following the end of World War II, the RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co. boasted that "More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette" (Waxman). This advertising claim carried the clear implication that the medical community as a whole endorses "Camels" cigarettes. While no tobacco company would dare to make such a statement today, that does not stop the industry from trying to make smoking appear cool to teenagers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the hypothesis that alcohol and cigarette advertising leads to increased drinking and smoking, specifically, among youth. The paper presents several examples of advertisements, illustrating how they create a certain image for the target group. The paper contends that, while studies cannot prove that advertising leads to greater consumption, the moderate, positive association is consistent across survey studies.
From the Paper
"Alcohol and tobacco are among the most heavily advertised products within the media industry, including magazine, newspaper, broadcast, and outdoor advertising (Pfleger Pp). According to a 2001 report, the six major tobacco companies spend approximately $6 billion annually on advertising and promotion in the United States alone (Pfleger Pp). Measured media is roughly $800 million a year for beer, $321 million for liquor, and $120 million for wine, and if sponsorships and promotions were added, these numbers would likely increase (Pfleger Pp). Despite legislation to curb tobacco and alcohol advertising, especially to youths, the companies are still getting their messages across to their targets."

From the Paper
"Cigarette smoking has undergone a significant transformation in its acceptance by Americans. Where cigarettes once conferred an air of sophistication equated with movie stars and the rich, cigarette smokers are now condemned as addicts whose habit endangers not only their lives, but the lives of others ("Respiratory Effects" 133). Smokers who once found ashtrays in most homes and in nearly every office now find that they are consigned to designated smoking areas in restaurants and other public places, and increasingly find that office buildings and residential homes are strictly off limits to smokers. It is not unusual to see the dedicated smokers standing in the most inclement of weather in order to indulge in their habit.
One of the results of this change of awareness is an increase in the number of non..."

From the Paper
"Cigarette smoking has been marginalized in American society for some time. The process began with the Surgeon General's Report in the 1960s, followed by laws removing cigarette commercials from television. The program continues to this day with further efforts to eliminate smoking from restaurants, the workplace, and other public sites, and to prevent young people from taking up smoking in the first place. One of the most recent efforts has been an Executive Order signed by President Clinton to limit tobacco advertising in any form aimed at teens and to set other limits on the industry. This proposal has been published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is soliciting public comments before the order is implemented and before Congress takes up legislation either implementing this

From the Paper
"The purpose of this discussion on advertising is to examine the goals of advertising, the types of advertising, and various techniques used in advertising strategies. In addition, this paper addresses personal marketing versus mass marketing, and clarifies the roles of such marketing tools as sales promotion, publicity, and public relations, which are different from the role of advertising.
Advertising is "the nonpersonal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products, services, or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media". Key words in this definition that, when used together, separate advertising from other marketing tools are nonpersonal, paid, persuasive, and media. First, advertising is not personal because it lacks face-to-face ... "

The Ethics of Advertising to Children, 2008.
A discussion of the ethics of advertising to children.
2,630 words (approx. 10.5 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 79.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at that question of whether advertising directed at children is ethical. It points out that the amount of advertising targeting children continues to grow. Children view an estimated 360,0000 advertisements on television before graduating from high school. The paper also claims that, not until the early 1970s, was advertising directed at children seen as a problem in the United States. The paper argues that, although studies show that children under the age of seven cannot distinguish the difference between an advertisement and fact, there is little if any regulation of advertising directed at children within the United States. The paper compares the US to other countries, which have adopted the philosophy that advertising directed at children is immoral and have stepped in with varying levels of regulation. The paper concludes that, regarding television, it is unlikely there will be any restrictions placed on advertisers; however, with the proliferation of sites such as MySpace, YouTube, blogging, and other future technological advances to the Internet, there may eventually be a public outcry for more stringent regulations.
Outline:
Introduction
History of Advertising & Advertising to Children
Advertising and Its Impact on Children
Why So Much Emphasis on Advertising to Children?
Notable Examples of Advertising to Children
The Regulation of Advertising
Regulations in Other Countries
How Likely Change Is in the Future & Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the US, there are currently few policies or standards for food advertising and marketing aimed at children. The advertising industry maintains self-regulatory policies established by the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) of the National Council of Better Business Bureaus. CARU's guidelines apply to all forms of children's advertising, but it has no legal authority over advertisers and can only seek voluntary compliance. CARU has a group of about 20 advisors and 35 supporters, many of whom are from the food industry, such as Burger King, Frito-Lay, McDonald's, General Mills, Nabisco and Hershey. The CARU voluntary guidelines list seven basic principles, which address areas such as product presentation and claims, endorsement and promotion by program characters, sales pressures, disclosures and disclaimers and safety concerns."

From the Paper
"The fastest growing segment in the entire world is the telecom sectors specifically the cellular phones. It isn't surprising to say that there is more number of cellular phone users than computers today, in particular the developing countries. The biggest beneficiary of the telecom boom is the advertisement industry since it is blessed with one additional source to reach the public domain. With the costs of computers and last mile connectivity coming down, Internet penetration is improving in the developing countries."

Abstract
This paper discusses the respective approaches that Wal-Mart and target corporations take vis-a-vis advertising. The paper takes on the form of a SWOT analysis, outlining the relative merits and demerits of each approach, while offering a brief assessment of what possibly lies ahead for each. More than that, the paper suggests that the present battle being waged between them will only escalate as target proves itself a worthy adversary.
From the Paper
"Advertising has always been the lifeblood of businesses everywhere. In recent years, however, the level of sophistication found in American advertising has grown exponentially. The following paper will look at two sophisticated businesses - Walmart and Target - and assess the relative merits and demerits of their advertising strategies. If Walmart is habitually referred to as an organization preferring "rational" advertising, then Target must surely be an organization that stresses innovation and high quality as part of its 'sales pitch' to America - and to the rest of the World.

Advertising Culture of the 1920s, 2006.
A discussion regarding advertising in the 1920s, in relation to advertising today.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the differences between the advertising of the 1920s and today are substantial. The advertising of that time was less sophisticated. Products were sold based on their perceived values and usefulness, not simply on sex appeal. The paper further discusses that it is not to say that sex appeal was ignored; products aimed at women often advertised how appealing they would make women feel, or how they would make women appear to men. Coca-Cola and Palmolive soap are products that demonstrate the changes that have taken place in advertising, both in the purpose of advertising and the images associated with it.
From the Paper
"The decade of the 1920s was an era of rapid change. Women scandalized their men as their hemlines rose steadily, reaching the mid-20s "flapper" styles; makeup became popular; and their hairstyles got shorter. Men's fashions became more conservative and geared toward the comfort of the wearer. "Convenience" became the watchword of the day, whether related to clothing, chores, travel, or communication. Almost overnight, the world became a different place, in large part thanks to advertising. Cultural Overview The world was a rapidly changing place in the decade of the "Roaring Twenties." This decade came on the heels of the Progressive Era, which had run out of steam by the beginning of that decade (Miller, 2003, p. 13). "
