cultural injury done to these nations and their peoples by advertising whose content
and methods, reflecting those prevalent in the first world, are at war with sound
traditional values in indigenous cultures. Today this kind of "domination and
manipulation" via media rightly is "a concern of developing nations in relation to
developed ones," as well as a "concern of minorities within particular nations.
OBJECTIVES
Executive Summary
Men and women who professionally engaged in advertising do have high ethical
standards, sensitive consciences and strong sense of responsibility. But the external
pressures from the clients who commission their work as well as from the competitive
internal dynamics of their profession can create powerful inducements to unethical
behaviour.
That underlines the need for external systems and structures, to support and encourage
responsible practice in advertising and to discourage the malpractices. Voluntary
ethical codes are one such source of support which already exist in a number of
places. They are only effective to the willingness of advertisers to comply strictly.
Advertising is a very important element in today's society, especially in the
functioning of market economy, which is expanding. Advertising plays a constructive
role in the exchange of information and ideas, in economic growth and in the
fostering of solidarity among individuals and groups.
Advertising ethics affects the practice of business, and also our lives. Indeed,
advertising ethics concerns us all. For example, academicians, advertisers, ad agency
personnel, consumers, media personnel, , attorneys and regulators.
INTRODUCTION
The term advertising is derived originally from a Latin word Advert ere which
means to turn the attention. Advertising turns the attention of the reader or the
listeners or viewers towards a product or a service or an idea. Advertising is a form
of communication intended to promote the sale of a product or service to influence the
public opinion to gain political support or to advance a particular cause.
Advertising generally involves an element of cost, although it is also possible to do it
for free. Free advertising is easier to get with an online business than a traditional
offsite concern. However, generally, advertisers will pay broadcasting companies,
publishers or media to provide the advertising platform of a internet, newspaper,
television or radio.
Defining Advertising
American Marketing Association (AMA) in 1963, defines Advertisement as
Advertisement is a non personal presentation of idea, product or services by an
identified sponsor.
Concept of Advertising
1. Advertising consists of written and oral messages that are directed to a target
audience.
2. Advertising persuades the public to purchase a certain product or service.
3. Each advertisement is related to a certain advertiser who is selling the product
or service involved
ADVERTISING
Advertising is any paid form or message that presents goods or services of a certain
advertiser or sponsor, and should present the product in such a way as to persuade the
reader or listener to purchase the product.
CLASSIFICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT
1. National Advertising: Manufacturers think that their target is, the whole market of
a country. They select media with a countryside base. Large and established firms
belong to this category. For example, Brooke Bond, L&T, Hindustan Unilever,
Escorts, Associated Cement Companies etc.
2. Local Advertising: Small firms may like to restrict their business to Regional or
State level. Some firms first localize their marketing efforts and once they achieve
success, they spread out to wider horizons. For example, Nirma washing powder,
which initially was sold only in Gujarat and subsequently entered the other markets.
Retail stores also undertake local advertising. The area to be covered would generally
be a town or a city and media would be selected which principally relates to that area.
If we discuss about the preceding years, several newspaper supplements have
appeared which focus on a particular city and are of direct relevance to its inhabitants
like the Bombay Times and Metro. Sometimes large firms may also go in for local
advertising, e.g., when they undertake pre-testing of a product especially consumer
products in selected areas before embarking promotional campaign on a national
level.
3. Global Advertising: Multinational firms treat the world as their market. Firms such
as National Sony or Ford advertise globally, in periodicals like Times, Readers Digest.
Target Group: It is on the basis of target groups aimed at it can further be divided
into sub category as:
a. Consumer Advertising
b. Industrial Advertising
c. Trade Advertising
d. Professional Adverting
advertising to these decision makers, who are professional people. Such advertising is
called professional advertising.
Organizations these days are concerned with the type of image they project they have
to communicate or promote their objectives to the general public. Public relations
tries to build rapport with various constituents of public such as customers,
employees, vendors, shareholders, government and public at large. It helps to
maintain this relationship and build a good corporate image. It is done by both
business
and
non-business
organizations.
It

management
and
Purposes of PR Advertising
1. It projects a favourable image of the company.
2. It maintains relationship with the trade and suppliers.
3. It generates goodwill for the business.
4. It creates conducive climate for the investing public.
5. It takes up social causes for promotion such as- Female infanticide, Dowry, Cancer
Detection etc . It thus renders community service. It seeks public support for certain
causes.
6. It is concerned with customer service and customer relationship management.
10
Because of the impact advertising has on media that depend on it for revenue,
advertisers have an opportunity to make a positive influence on decisions about media
content. This is done by supporting material of excellent intellectual, aesthetic and
moral quality presented with the public interest in view, and by encouraging and
making possible media presentations which are oriented to minorities whose needs
might otherwise go un served. Advertising can itself contribute to the betterment of
society by inspiring and uplifting people and motivating them to act in ways that
benefit everyone. Advertising can brighten lives simply by being tasteful and
entertaining.
d) Moral and Religious Benefits of Advertising
Charitable social institutions, together with those of a religious nature, use advertising
to communicate their messages messages of faith, of patience, of patriotism,
sympathy and neighbourly service, of charity toward the needy, messages regarding
health and education, productive and helpful messages that educate and motivate
people in a variety of valuable ways.

or sold" and to avoid "an admiration of the market" that, aided and abetted by
advertising, ignores this essential fact.
b) Political Harms of Advertising
Political advertising can support and assist the working of the democratic process, but
it also can obstruct it. This happens when, for example, the costs of advertising limit
political competition to wealthy candidates or groups, or require that office-seekers
compromise their integrity and independence by over-dependence on special interests
for funds. Such obstruction of the democratic process also happens when, instead of
being a vehicle for honest expositions of candidates' views and records, political
advertising seeks to distort the views and records of opponents and unjustly attacks
their reputations. It happens when advertising appeals more to people's emotions and
base instincts to selfishness, bias and hostility toward others, to racial and ethnic
prejudice and the like rather than to a reasoned sense of justice and the good of all.
13
Communicators also can find themselves tempted to ignore the educational and social
needs of certain segments of the audience the very young, the very old, the poor
who do not match the demographic patterns (age, education, income, habits of buying
and consuming, etc.) of the kinds of audiences advertisers want to reach. In this way
the tone and indeed the level of moral responsibility of the communications media in
general are lowered.
All too often, advertising contributes to the invidious stereotyping of particular groups
that places them at a disadvantage in relation to others. This often is true of the way
advertising treats women; and the exploitation of women, both in and by advertising,
is a frequent, deplorable abuse. "How often are they treated not as persons with an
resilient dignity but as objects whose purpose is to satisfy others' desire for pleasure
or for power? How often the role of woman as wife and mother is underestimated or
even ridiculed? How often is the role of women in business or professional life
depicted as a masculine caricature, a denial of the specific gifts of feminine insight,
compassion, and understanding, which so greatly contribute to the 'civilization of
love'?"
14
In cases of the second sort, advertising sometimes is used to promote products and
inculcate attitudes and forms of behaviour contrary to moral norms. That is the case,
for instance, with the advertising of contraceptives and products harmful to health,
and with government-sponsored advertising campaigns for artificial birth control, socalled "safe sex", and similar practices.
15
otherwise need to be funded by the actual consumer of these mediums. So, we can see
a major economic infrastructure based around advertising, in which the big companies
fund and subsidize the commercial media by the way of advertisements. The major
economic negative aspect of advertising is that it boosts the price of products. The
source of this contention is that, when organizations subsidize the mass media with
advertising, we, the purchaser, subsidize advertising by compensating a grossly
increased price for heavily advertised goods and services. An example of this is that a
box of Washing powder in general costs around Rs. 40/kg whereas the market price of
the product would be Rs 60/kg. The fact behind this is that the remaining proportion
goes in advertising. So, the impact of advertising on our society is in a jumble form,
depending on the functions and implementations of numerous campaigns. Our society
and the marketing of products depend upon advertising. The companies have become
much dependent of advertising that even its negative impacts can never outweigh the
many positive social and economic effects.
We live and flourish in a dynamic economy. Ours has been an economy of relative
abundance which has succeeded in bringing about a material well-being never before
known in history. It is an economy which emphasizes consumption! In this country
consumption does not necessarily mean wearing out goods in a physical sense. We
wear out goods psychologically as well. Usually our clothes are psychologically worn
out and discarded while it is still good. We dispose of our automobiles when they
become outdated rather than when they are physically worn out. How different is this
viewpoint from the practices that are current in other nations, England and France, for
instance! It is difficult for the European to understand the economic importance of the
individual in our country and the American idea of psychological obsolescence. It is
also inexplicable to most that in America we spend nearly eight billion dollars a year
for advertising
Why do we do it? What is advertising's role in our economy? What useful purpose
does advertising serve?

Sexual content
Kids today are bombarded with sexual messages and images in all mediatelevision,
magazines, advertisements, music, movies and the Internet. Parents are often
concerned about whether these messages are healthy. While television can be a
powerful tool for educating young people about the responsibilities and risks of sexual
behaviour, such issues are seldom mentioned or dealt with in a meaningful way in
programs containing sexual content.

Business Ethics
21
Business ethics is the behavior that a business adheres to in its daily dealings with the
world. The ethics of a particular business can be diverse. They apply not only to how
the business interacts with the world at large, but also to their one-on-one dealings
with a single customer. Many businesses have gained a bad reputation just by being in
business. To some people, businesses are concerned with making money, and that is
the bottom line. It could be called capitalism. Making money is not wrong . It is the
manner in which some businesses conduct themselves that brings up the question of
ethical behavior. Good business ethics should be a part of every business. There are
many factors to consider. When a company does business
that is considered
unethical, does this make the company unethical by association? Some people would
say yes, the business has a responsibility and it is now a link in the chain of unethical
businesses. Many global businesses, including most of the major brands that the
public use, can be seen not to think too highly of good business ethics. Many major
brands have been fined millions for breaking ethical business laws. Money is the
major deciding factor.
If a company does not abide by the business ethics and breaks the laws, they usually
end up being fined. Many companies have broken anti-trust, ethical and
environmental laws and received huge fines. The problem is that the amount of
money these companies are making outweighs the fines. Billion dollar profits blind
the companies to their lack of business ethics, and the dollar sign wins. A business
may be a multi-million seller, but does it use good business ethics and do people care?
There are popular soft drinks and fast food restaurants that have been fined time and
again for unethical behavior. Business ethics should eliminate exploitation, from the
sweet shop children who are making sneakers to the coffee serving staff who are
being ripped off in wages. Business ethics can be applied to everything from the trees
cut down to make the paper that a business sells to the ramifications of importing
coffee from certain countries.
22
The media of social communications have two options, either they help human
persons to grow in their understanding and practice of what is true and good, or they
are destructive forces in conflict with human well being. That is entirely true of
advertising. Against this background, then, we point to this fundamental principle for
people engaged in advertising: advertisers that is, those who commission, prepare
or disseminate advertising are morally responsible for what they seek to move
people to do; and this is a responsibility also shared by publishers, broadcasting
executives, and others in the communications world, as well as by those who give
commercial or political endorsements, to the extent that they are involved in the
advertising process.
a) Truthfulness in Advertising
Even today, some advertising is simply and intentionally untrue. Generally
speaking, though, the problem of truth in advertising is somewhat more delicate: it
is not that advertising says what is visibly false, but that it can twist the truth by
implying things that are not so or withholding relevant facts.
To be sure, advertising, like other forms of expression, has its own conventions and
forms of stylization, and these must be taken into account when discussing honesty.
People take for granted some thetorical and symbolic overstatement in advertising;
within the limits of recognized and accepted practice, this can be allowable.
But it is a fundamental principle that advertising may not intentionally seek to
deceive, whether it does that by what it says, by what it implies, or by what it fails to
say. "The proper exercise of the right to information demands that the content of what
is communicated be true and, within the limits set by justice and charity, complete. ...
Included here is the obligation to avoid any manipulation of truth for any reason."
23
There is an "vital requirement" that advertising respect the human person, his right
duty to make a responsible choice, his interior freedom; all these goods would be
violated if man's lower inclinations were to be exploited, or his capacity to reflect and
decide compromised." These abuses are not merely hypothetical possibilities but
realities in much advertising today. Advertising can defy the dignity of the human
person both through its content what is advertised, the manner in which it is
advertised and through the impact it seeks to make upon its audience. We have
spoken already of such things as appeals to lust, envy and greed, and of techniques
that manipulate and make use of human weakness. In such circumstances,
advertisements readily become "vehicles of a deformed outlook on life, on the family,
on religion and on morality an outlook that does not respect the true dignity and
destiny of the human person."
c) Advertising and Social Responsibility
Social responsibility is a broad concept that we can note here only a few of the many
issues and concerns pertinent under this heading to the question of advertising. The
ecological issue is one. Advertising that fosters a generous life style which wastes
resources and despoils the environment offends against important ecological
concerns. "In his desire to have and to enjoy rather than to be and grow, man
consumes the resources of the earth and his own life in an excessive and disordered
way. ... Man thinks that he can make arbitrary use of the earth, subjecting it without
restraint to his will, as though it did not have its own requisites and a prior God-given
purpose, which man can indeed develop but must not betray."
As this suggests, something more fundamental is at issue here: authentic and integral
human development. Advertising that reduces human progress to acquiring material
goods and cultivating a lavish life style expresses a false, destructive vision of the
human person harmful to individuals and society alike. When people fail to practice
"a rigorous respect for the moral, cultural and spiritual requirements, based on the
dignity of the person and on the proper identity of each community, beginning with
the family and religious societies," then even material abundance and the
conveniences that technology makes available "will prove unsatisfying and in the end
contemptible." Advertisers, like people engaged in other forms of social

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
creating worthless desires which deceive the consumer and encourages them to
consumptionism. Later in 1961, Thomas Garrett, a philosophy professor and priest,
studied some of the ethical problems such as economic growth, urging, consumption,
and potential monopoly power, noting that the Bishopss book cannot grab what is
known to be the ultimate.
The subject of ethics in advertising has a long history, and many of the same ethical
concerns and criticisms of advertising have persisted through many decades and into
the twenty-first century. More than 55 years ago, F. P. Bishop, formerly a Member of
Parliament and editor of The Times of London, published one of the first books on
advertising ethics where he chronicled several "moral indictments" of advertising: It
stimulates
unworthy
desires,
deceive
the
consumer,
and
encourages
27
About 20 years ago, a debate about the merits of advertising took place in the Journal
of Marketing. Richard Pollay (1986) wrote an inuential article unfolding the
positions of humanities and social science scholars on advertisings unintentional
social and cultural consequences. He concluded that - These ideas also deserve
consideration because of their sober-in and substantial nature. Taken as a whole, they
comprise major indictment of advertising (p. 31). Pollays analysis spawned a
comment by Morris Holbrook (1987), who safeguarded advertising as pluralistic not
monolithic, aimed at segments and not the mass market, rejecting pop not high
culture, and mirroring not manipulating values. Pollays rejoinder(1987) provided a
point-by-point commentary on Holbrooks opinion, but more signicantly, it focused
on values. Reargued that advertising communicates values and increases the saliency
of certain values. He observed:
Of all the aspects of advertising that might be studied, values have the most
philosophical implications and are the most significant to the larger academic
community and the community at large.

Most of the respondents said that there should be some strict laws involved for
handling such ads. The current laws by censor board and government are not
very strict because some of the companies are still continuing to show some of
their unethical ads.

10. What suggestions would you like to give to stop or avoid from being
influenced by unethical ads?
Research proper pros and cons of the product before buying it.
Unethical ads should be banned and more stringent laws should be made.
There should be proper legal authorities to look into the matter and prohibit
such ads.
Dont buy the products of those unethical companies. They will lose the value
in the market and will then learn a lesson.
Customers should not follow the ads blindly.
38
1. After completely analyzing data it can be said that the people are aware of unethical
elements being shown in ads which are creating negative impact on society and
majority of them have got awareness from television.
2. People think that ads related to sex products are most unethical. These ads are not
trying to stop youth for going in a wrong direction but they are encouraging them.
Other Important Findings:
1. Most people said that the government should bring in more stringent laws to stop
these ads and take action against the companies. Other possibilities according to
people were in the form of taking the companies to the court and imposing heavy fine
on them.
2. Most of the people said that they dont purchase a product which they perceive as
unethical in some or other form. They also said that even in future, they will restrain
themselves from purchasing products that they perceive unethical.
3. Survey shows that 42 people believe that companies being ethical can also be
profitable. They need not adopt unethical practices for their profits.
4. One question was included to check how much ethical people really are in the form
of investing in a company with high ethical standard while presenting low returns and
investing in a company with low ethical standards while presenting higher returns.
The result shows that even today, no matter how much benefit person might get, they
will not like to get themselves attached or involved in a company who pursue
unethical practices. 75% people felt this.
5. 42% believed that advertisements have a psychological impact on them followed
by social impact.
39
LIMITATIONS
Every project faces some limitation and this project was no exception. Some of the
limitations faced were -
Since the responses were only from one part of Delhi, the report cannot be
generalized for whole Delhi and NCR.
Some of the respondents were not willing to devote time for the survey. Most
of the time, they were busy and were not willing to respond.
There could have been vast exploration on the topic but due to limited time
availability, it could not be explored more for study.
At times, they were not able to understand the questions which enforced me to
make the question understand to the respondent in detail.
40
RECOMMENDATIONS
Unethical elements and practices will damage the companys brand name.
Once damaged, it will be difficult to achieve that goodwill again.
Do follow the rules and regulations laid down by the government. Breaking
those laws will land them in huge trouble and it will be difficult for them to
get out of the jail.
Dont get easily influenced by the advertisements. Cross check many times
before making a purchase decision.
Learn from the experiences of other people. They can better tell whether the
company has falsely promised or not.
Make sure to write down to the company in the case unethical elements in the
form of obscenity, fraud etc. This will make them realize their mistake.
Make sure that children dont get negatively influenced from the
advertisements.
41
To Check whether companies are abiding to the rules and regulations related
to advertisements.
Do take strong actions on the companies in the form of banning the product,
heavy imposition of fine and even liquidating the company.
CONCLUSION
42
So, the final conclusion can be derived in the sense that companies are required to be
ethical, no matter how much competition they face. Unethical practice will bring the
customer only once but an ethical practice will bring the customer again. Companies
are required to follow the laws brought by the government as unethical practice can
land them into huge trouble in the form of liquidation, ban of product etc. So, be
ethical and be profitable.
