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."

Abstract
This paper explores the issue of ethics in business advertising. Specifically, this paper looks at the problem that unethical or manipulative advertising can present to vulnerable consumers. The writer discusses that on one hand, many people feel that advertisers should not be afraid to aggressively market products so long as they do not out-and-out dissemble. The writer shows that on the other hand, there are those that feel that corporations need to carefully weigh beforehand the possible social effects of a particular marketing campaign.
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."

Abstract
This paper investigates the ethical considerations considered to be the most important to consumers when advertising in countries where the market has mixed religious and secular moral traditions. Specifically, the study investigates what advice should be provided to client companies regarding marketing ethical sensitivities for Chinese customers. It compares the differences, if any, between Chinese and European markets in respect to the offensiveness of the execution of the promotional material. It then links this to religious affiliation, temporality orientation and polychronicity. A summary of the research, conclusions, and recommendations for business leaders in China and Europe are provided in the conclusion.

From the Paper
"4. As noted above, because Germany represents the largest trading partner with China of the current EU members, Chinese business leaders should concentrate on training their marketers in German customs and business practices - and the language itself wherever possible - and their German counterparts should likewise do the same for China according to the similar and dissimilar cross-cultural factors identified by Hofstede and their own empirical observations. Given the complexities of the Chinese language, and the polyglot of languages spoken throughout the European continent, and the enormity of the Chinese geographic area and its vast range of unique differences, though, it is reasonable to assume that a lingua franca of English and perhaps French in such marketing initiatives will continue to prevail for negotiating purposes, and there will be an increasing reliance on local national Chinese interpreters to help EU marketers better present their advertising materials in a fashion that is inoffensive to Chinese students' aesthetic and cultural sensibilities."

From the Paper
"Max Factor was trying to cash in on the celebrity power of Hollywood stars by putting their pictures on product covers and using their faces in advertising. But it was not long before the mistake was realized as cross-cultural misunderstanding began affecting sales. One consultant quoted "a gentleman from India" who explained the problem aptly when he stated, "It would never do to glamourise ... a product by utilising a lady in a shimmering white saree with a western style of hair dress in any of the Southern cities [of India]. A cutting of her crowning glory and the donning of white cloth are the insignia of widowhood, a deeper calamity than which there can be none for the Indian woman." He further insisted, "When talking about advertising in foreign countries we should in general forget about American contents, presentation and media of advertising messages." [2] "

Abstract
Ethics of advertising intends to ensure that advertisers and consumers co-exist without being harmed by the messages of advertisements. Ethical advertising provides as much truth as possible without undermining the autonomy of consumers to reflect critically upon their desires and interests. Unethical advertising, by contrast, deceives consumers by concealing significant facts about a product or service being advertised. Legal framework ensures that advertisers do not deceive consumers by conveying deceptive messages. Legal actions against unethical messages, however, are corrective rather than punitive.

The Advertising of "Beauty", 2002.
A discussion of the constant advertisement of 'beauty' can be considered a form of violence against women.

Abstract
This essay will examine both the theory and the practise of this form of violence against women. It will be argued that while this violence is social and cultural in form, it is nonetheless real and physically damaging to women. It alienates millions of women from their bodies and forces them into dangerous lifestyles and practices (anorexia/bulimia) in a desperate effort to meet an artificial construct of beauty. Given the range of influence of the mass media in modern society, it will be shown that this is perhaps one of the most common - and certainly socially acceptable - forms of violence against women today.

Abstract
This paper discusses advertising and beauty. Without doubt, advertising in our society today is very much connected to the social construction of beauty. This is clear when we observe how women are exploited for the sake of selling products. There are certain stereotypical portrayals of women in advertisements that make the sexism and social construction of beauty in our society transparently clear. These ads are designed to sell products -- as well as to send certain values to the culture.

The Rose Theory
From the Paper
"In order to discuss ethics, one must first attempt to understand the intricacies involved in this discipline. First, a distinction must be made between ethics and morality. "Ethical wisdom consists in knowing how to frame the ideal, and moral sagacity consists in knowing how to put the ideal to work and realize it in practice" (Rader 1964). In other words, ethics may be thought of as the theory by which morality is practiced. Although separate ideas, neither morality nor ethics can exist without the other. Once this distinction is made, the question must be asked, is ethics a science? Researchers have long tried to answer this question, and many have come to the following conclusion. It is believed that ethics is a "normative science: concerned with norms and standards not empirical facts" (Rader 1964)."

From the Paper
"Several theories can be used to explain how people view models in both television and magazine ads. The most well-known is Festinger's social comparison theory, which is the foundation of modern advertising theory. Festinger (1954) introduced the theory that humans possess an innate drive to evaluate their opinions and abilities by comparing them to the opinions and abilities of others. According to this theory, people only evaluate themselves against others that are similar to themselves. If the model is viewed as too different, then they will not use them for social comparison. Stuart Hall introduced the idea that the audience could attribute several possible meanings to the message conveyed by the media and that this message is influenced by the context and cultural background of the receiver (Tomlinson, 1991).

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of a specific case study in engineering ethics in Ontario, Canada. The writer discusses that in the case, one company (both of which will remain anonymous) alleged that another was distributing advertising brochures that made claims of engineering abilities and capabilities known to be false in violation of the Code of Ethics. The process for determining the nature of the ethical violation is the focus of this paper.
From the Paper
"Engineering, in all its many incarnations, is one of the most creative and potentially constructive applications of human ingenuity possible. Engineers build bridges. They design homes, airplanes, and spacecraft. Engineers probe the inner workings of the biological world and design more innovative computational systems. In short, engineers are the individuals upon whom much of society depends; they take ideas and turn them into practical applications, creating and constructing all of the physical elements of society that we too often take for granted. In Canada the importance of engineers is understood and rigorously enforced. In neighboring United States, engineers are favored but are not controlled or taught how to control themselves. Engineering ethics - dealing with issues like safety, liability, and integrity - is considered optional. This is not the case in Canada."

Abstract
This paper discusses the response to the request for ethics information in relation to advertising, and the following considerations that should be noted prior to the interview meeting that is scheduled for the president and CEO. The first point the paper discusses is how the virtue theory contends that each individual within society has a moral and ethical obligation to not harm others in the social order. Virtue by nature is part of the character of the individual and must guide the person to act in a benevolent manner toward others.This benevolence is based on the concepts of virtue, wisdom, courage, temperance and justice. The paper further discusses how within the theory of virtue there is the consideration that all adults within society are responsible for teaching ethics to young children so that they will inevitably act in a virtuous manner within the social order.

"Marketing ethics is a sub-set of business ethics and examines the moral issues relating to marketing decisions made by organizations. Although its roots can be traced back to the 1960s, marketing age is believed to have come of age only in the 1990s, thanks to extensive research on the subject carried out in the decade before. (Murphy, 111). Several topics make up the fabric of marketing ethics ? product quality, safety and liability, fairness in pricing, honesty in advertising and selling, privacy in internet database and marketing. According to Kotler, in recent years, people have started questioning the value of marketing concept, when the world is faced with environmental degradation, resource shortages, hunger and poverty and neglected social services."
