Like, in the modern society, people usually prefer to buy things by looking at the advertisement rather than physically going to the shop or, you know, the store. So what you like advertisement is very much necessary in great modern society because people have a very short attention span and if the advertisement is appealing to them in that span, they will buy that thing otherwise they will never buy that thing. So advertisement should be like catchy and appealing for the people. So it’s very much necessary. So advertisement has kind of negative impact on children, that’s for my view, because children tends to buy things. Whatever the thing is, they don’t think about it, they just want it so they fight with their parents to buy the things and they are made manipulative from the very young age. So I think that has a negative influence inside.
