Abstract
The following assignment is for a second year business and society course. The topic of this paper is the effect of advertising on consumerism. Using an article from Heath, it is argued that advertising and consumerism are not closely related. The writer maintains that increased consumerism is the result of competition and not advertising. The writer concludes that the other argument is wrong. "
From the Paper
"Consumerism has been a topic of interest for a number of years. Many researchers believe that consumerism is a negative thing. These critics usually link the rise of consumerism to advertising. However, there are some critics that argue that consumerism and advertising have little to do with each other. In 'The Efficient Society' Joseph Heath's theory is that consumerism and advertising are not intimately connected. In fact, Heath's argument suggests that competition and social status are the driving force behind the increase in consumerism. For example, Heath states, 'Thus comparative consumption can easily become competitive consumption'."

Abstract
This paper notes that the U.S. is becoming a nation of robots, programmed nearly every waking moment by television, radio, billboard , newspaper, magazine and Internet ads. The author points out that these advertisements manipulate emotions, insult intelligence and promise unending bliss if the consumer buys whatever they are selling. The paper relates that these advertisements wear down the potential consumer by relentlessly repeating their message.
From the Paper
"Having subjected myself over a twenty-four period to television ads, radio ads, billboard ads, newspaper ads, magazine ads, and Internet ads, I rewarded myself by seeking refuge in a bar, only to find myself surrounded by four walls filled with Budweiser beer ads, Canadian Club whiskey ads, Bacardi rum ads, and bar ads promoting two-for-one drinks until Happy Hour ended. Not feeling all that happy, I left the bar and was almost run over by a city bus adorned with ads promoting the comfort, efficiency and safety of city buses."

Abstract
This paper looks at the way advertisers take advantage of consumers by creating false needs in their market and feeding on those needs. The paper includes an analysis of television and magazine ads, subliminal advertising and advertising ethics.
From the Paper
"Advertising is defined as the action of attracting the public?s attention to a product or business. The methods that have developed over the years to attract consumers? attention have been very sophisticated and, in some cases, unethical. As potential buyers of goods and services, we Americans are constantly bombarded with advertising gimmicks in all print and broadcast mediums to the point where we have become jaded to the sales pitches that surround us. It can be argued that the attempts of retailers and businesses to get our attention and convince us to buy their goods and services are not, in themselves, unethical or dangerous; the unfavorable aspects of advertising result when the advertisers use questionable techniques to influence consumers.

"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 ... "

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."

"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.

Click here to show/hide summary
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). "

Abstract
This paper discusses the tangible and intangible methods of communication in advertising and uses a case study of a small Greek business to illustrate effective advertising strategies.The paper describes the different tools and method available for advertising, the approach to advertising that small businesses should use, and makes recommendations for the small business described in the case study.
From the Paper
"Advertising strategies differ significantly. This is based on the industry and the product being sold. In addition, the target market and the financial constraints experienced by the company wishing to advertise also will determine the medium and the intensity of advertisement that can be undertaken. Companies should also understand the culture and ethics of the region in which they are advertising and the nature of the product (essentials, luxury goods or status goods) that the market can support. In the book "Effective Advertising," the author Gerard J. Tellis is of the opinion that advertising is "a complex task" as it has to address the attention span of the market being targeted and nature of processing of the advertised information done by the average individual. (Tellis, 2004) To further complicate matters, potential customers should also have the ability to recall the advantages and benefits of the product when they are in the market to purchase this product."

Video Advertising, 2005.
This paper explains that video advertising, which can be both entertaining and irritating, is the medium society loves to hate because, unlike print advertising, it is more difficult to tune out.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although people can make a case that advertising goes too far, by using sexual innuendo that is too graphic or targeting children who have not yet developed the ability to evaluate claims of the advertisement, the United States Constitution provides everyone in this country, including advertisers, a number of protections from regulatory abuse such as freedom of speech. The author points out that one of the most common criticisms is that advertising tries to sell us things we neither need nor want; however, in a capitalistic society, companies are allowed to encourage consumers to buy their products. This paper concludes that the video advertising is an important part of the U.S. economic system; the problems of this advertising can be managed.
From the Paper
"Perhaps one of the weakest criticisms of advertising is that it is intrusive. Probably every person could cite a commercial he or she found annoying and intrusive, and that is the test for the limits of free speech: one person's free speech cannot violate another person's right to not be harmed by that free speech. An example of this would be hate crimes. If someone's inflammatory speeches cause someone else to commit a hate crime, then the person's speech has gone too far, because it has led to harm. The issue isn't nearly as clear in advertising."
