Do regulations in the marketing and advertising department should be revised?

Question

everyday we see tons and tons of commercial, some are really agressive for the human consicence. Futhermore It reduces the appearance of small markets and we dont know the real effects of a human beeing constantly exposed to advertizing. Sure I understand the economic aspect behind the matter...(tv, radio, and sponsorship its essential..) but lets put that aside and just look at the question and ask if the morality behind the advertizements is right?..on one hand, one have the freedom to sell you anything as long as it does not harm you( my argument there is just one's gotta be able to judge what is right for him or what is wrong, and this is not their problems if they fool you because you are free to choose) but on the other hand, the power and the tools that compagny have could be so powerful that some day it' will fool anybody..even the smartest( I push to the extreme just to show my point).. So were do we have to draw the line? here's my question..I'll be very interrested to know!

Answer 1

I believe that there should be some sort of regulations in regards to not only how many commercials of the same product are shown, but there nature of content as well. However, because we are a society that is based upon drama and fed so much information, marketers tend to go for shock value to turn heads. The sad thing? It's working. A person would rather watch something that is terrorizing, manipulative and down right wrong, that the pressure alone sends them out to buy these products. It's the price we pay to live in a feel good world.
