Advertising - its Impact on society

So, this month topic for our Blog is Advertising and it's impact on Society like what you see in the title. So, any of you ever wondering what is advertising? What is the purpose of Advertising? Usually what we know about advertising was only the commercial break in the television or internet. But there are more than that. Advertising are everywhere whether it is on newspaper, billboard, magazine and etc.The purpose why many factory or company wanted to pay milions or even bilions Rupiah to advertise their product is only to persuade people to buy their product or a service. There are smoke products eg: Sampoerna, Dji Sam Soe, Gudang garam. There are Condoms adverisement too on Tv. Usually if its on television  it was a short film, song or something that make society fell interested. If it was on Internet it was a maybe a picture or pop up picture that sometimes makes Internet surfer feel irritated. But sometimes the advertisement suceed to persuade us because of the short video, the idea or creativity of the commercial. Some of my favourite advertisement comes from technology company and it attracts me to buy their product. This Advertisement I watch it from the Internet. But In Advertising some products such as Cigarette they have their rule from the government for not to use smoking people and they must write the warning in their products. Maybe the government thought that smoking people will give bad/negative impact to the society especially minors. Well that is all I can say. Thank You
