Advertising

Advertising is everywhere! We are bombarded through television, radio, billboards, newspapers, and direct mail with advertisements for products and services. Advertisements can educate and inform consumers.

They can also influence people to buy things they really don't need and can't afford. Advertising can be manipulative and even dishonest. Most manufacturers and distributors rely on advertising not only to tell people about their products, but also to apply pressure to purchase the product.

For example, some ads will urge you to rush your decision and make the purchase right away, telling you that this is a limited time offer.
