Should certain kinds of ads be banned in the interest of health/morality/annoyance – alcohol, cigarettes, prescription meds, etc…?
Lines of enquiry :
1. Why advertisement is necessary ?
2. For whom the advertisement should be meant ?
3. Do we need to regulate ads in the interest of the society ?
4.What is the popular opinion world over on advertisement of products, especially those products which have health,morality, and annoyance issues ?
WHO- The author should preferably be a social scientist and someone who studies behavioural issues of impact of advertisement of products on society.
Why- The author should write with a view to present a balanced view of the effects of advertisement, especially on issues relating to health, morality etc.
Where- The article/debate should be on a site which is known to serve the cause of public such as any .org or .edu site
When - The site where such material is published should be an updated one, is watched frequently by masses and is open for comments by the interested persons.
What- The site should have citation, should provide evidence in favour of or against the views published, should not have grammatical errors, should be well written.
How will you judge if the author is writing with a balanced view. You need to write criteria that you can judge from what you see in the source, not from the author's intentions, which are something you cannot see.
