“Advertising is what you do when your product is not good.”- - Edwin H. Land - -“Competition” is part of human nature, even in animals, and it can be seen almost everywhere. Several centuries ago, man vied for dominion over the earth. To date, in most cases, people compete to succeed in business. The world is developing so fast and almost all companies use different strategies that they believe are most effective to attract people to trust and buy their products, competing with each other to become popular. Therefore, they promote and advertise their products as much as possible. We can see advertising everywhere, for example in newspapers, magazines, on billboards, on television, on the radio. Many advertisements target children, who are immature; this situation becomes a problem, ranging from small to huge. Therefore, the government should take care of the advertising business and parents should take care of their children; The diffusion of advertising that is harmful to children should be prohibited and it is necessary that children are convinced by their parents not to watch too much television, which contains many advertisements. People should see the negative conditions that occur among children due to advertising. Roy F. Fox, professor of education at the University of Missouri, explains that "advertising is harmful to the physical and social health of children." For example, “The Academy estimates that, each year, young people are exposed to 2,000 beer and wine television commercials” (Fox). Additionally, “Meg Gallogly of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids says there are clear links between cigarette advertising and teen smoking” (Gallogly). As a result, over 4,000... half of paper... there will be fewer problems for children and advertising. Works cited "Ban fast food ads on TV?".
