Reply:I think this is interesting. First I would advise you not to use wikipedia for a research paper seeing as how anybody can post content there. Make you sure you double check everything you find out.


Advetising in my opinion is two-fold.


People advertise to bring attention to there products or services, to create a want or need for that product. However a lot of advertisements are blown way out of porportion. They offer a free this or a half of that or a you must buy this, then the person does and is dissappointed to find out that the product or service wasn't what the ad said it would be. For instance an advertisement for a directory service screamed out, place your business profile on our site and get listed in another state for free. However they didn't reveal the fact that you would have to place two profiles in order to get that free listing.
Reply:.Advertising influences the choices we make. It creates a need on a product or service and that leads to a purchase
