The Argument
Advertisement is simply a form of marketing. In 2019, about 560 billion dollars were spent on advertising globally.[1] Marketing helps businesses grow and lets customers know when there’s something new in the market. In fact, advertising is so effective that marketing and advertising are often used interchangeably.[2] Advertising will always be used and there is nothing morally wrong about it.
Counter arguments
Marketing and advertising should not be mixed up. Marketing involves research and is a long-term process, while advertisement is only supposed to bring short term awareness to a business.[3] Relying heavily on advertisement would be a waste of money.
