The advertising sector is very important for firms and their products because they should introduce themselves. Many consumers follow the products from media and they decide to buy which products they want. As a result of this situation, the advertising companies improve themselves so advertising sector increases day by day. We have got many types of advertising firms. In my opinion, the most important parts are the visual and written advertising sectors. These parts can be compared and contrasted according to some different criteria.A first criterion is appearance of advertisements.

Young children are the most vulnerable to advertising. They are the most susceptible because their minds are immature and are unable to distinguish good advertising versus bad advertising. Television commercials have an enormous impact on young children today. Commercials are one of the main forms of advertisement and many of these commercials are geared towards younger ages.Patricia Mullenbrock presented interesting statistics in class regarding how the media can affect children's health. According to her research, children watch around 10,000 food advertisements per year on television. The majority of these advertisements are for junk food and fast food.

practically negates the claim that follows. If advertising claims that their product is truly superior, the ad will say it so very clearly and will offer some kind of convincing evidence of the superiority. If an ad hedges the least bit about a product's advantage over the competition you can strongly suspect it is not superior--may be equal to but not better. In this ad there is no evidence that Head and Shoulders will completely stop dandruff, actually there is no evidence that it can even prevent the start of dandruff, they are simply trying to sell their product to the viewers. Some additional evidence that would help evaluate the alternatives is if the ad simply said "Head and Shoulders

In this ad, the primary visual is the contrast between a woman before and after aging. The left side of the announcement shows a young, conservative and awkward woman before aging. The picture seems to be a black and white school photo, and she is wearing a school sweater with a turtleneck, very conservative. Moreover, in the image, her nervous smile presents gapped front teeth, and her round glasses graze her cheekbones. Her hair is straight and parted close to the middle.

The article "Advertising and the construction of Violent White Masculinity" points to the controversy of violence and media. It emphasizes that the mainstream debate about media and violence does not emphasis or analyze the most important aspect, namely gender. Katz states that the media illustrates a wrong image of individuals committing crime by calling them 'youth' crimes or 'kids' love. He believes however that the reason why crime is committed 90% by males is due to the masculinity emphasized in our society. He also mentions that there is lack of attention on criminals from majority groups such as Whites but an emphasis by crime conducted by minority groups. The article suggests that

The advertising business is a billion-dollar industry in the United States. Businesses from all over the world compete with one another and allot big budget to expand and endorse ads just to pursue consumer’s likings for their brand or product. Advertisers put together a sense of likeness to their brands and products while persuading consumer’s way of thinking or feeling regarding the brand or product. The objective of advertising itself is to influence the audiences to respond to the ideas, products or services. “Manipulate” is the word here, not “persuade”; for advertising campaigns are not sources of product information

During the survey the questions asked by the advertising companies seems like they have no idea on how to communicate with a human being. Throughout the film it seems like they were all speaking a different language. Some of their questions during the survey seemed like it had no correlation to anything regarding the product.

Remember that the actual product is inside the container, so the packaging and advertising are all that will attract us to try a product in the first place.Brand name and logoLarge manufacturers understand the importance of their brand name. Kellogg's, Adidas and Microsoft are all household names which we associate with quality. As a result, we are likely to buy one of their products when we go shopping rather than an untried or unknown one even if it is say, a supermarket's own brand.
