"Advertising is the promotion of a company's products and services carried out primarily to drive sales of the products and services but also to build a brand identity and communicate changes or new product/services to the customers." Advertising can be a bad thing, but it could also be a very good thing. I think that what is being advertised on televison such as on MTV aren't showing what teenagers need to see. However, it isn't all bad, some advertisements are great because they introduce you to some material and spiritual things that you may need in your every day life. Television is just one way of advertising. There are many other ways, such as: radio, the internet, newspapers, magazines, movies, commercials, etc. As Edgar A. Shoaff said, "Advertising is the art of making whole lies out of half truths." As I said earlier, advertising isn't bad, but some ways of advertising can hurt people.
