What are the positive effects of advertising on society?

make smaller buisnesses known

advertise good things like free clinics and blood drives, etc.

companies sponser things like charity events and sports teams to advertize (with blimps, logos on t-shirts, banners, etc.). companies supply free equipment and such inexchange for free advertising. you can also see this principle on websites such as myspace and facebook, which is why they are free programs. the creators get money from the companies who advertise on their website -> as the website becomes more popular and more people see it, more companies will want to advertise -> the price of having an add increases with the popularity of the website, and the creators of the site can provide it as a free service (but they're making a ton of $!!)

hope that helps : )

A lot of commericals have facts that relate to their product, but are really important to know, like:

A medicine that prevents bone loss reminding us that a diet not sufficient in calcium will lead to our body stealing it from our bones and increasing likelihood of osteoperosis later in life

Breakfast cereal ad telling us about the various nutrients, iron, folic acid, and its importance

Bottled water brand telling us to drink 8 glasses of h2o a day

Public service announcements, like the height that a child should be before not needing a car seat

Plus sometimes there are plugs for job fairs or festivals (local ads) that we may otherwise not have known about
