Study Notes

Ethical Concerns in Advertising

Advertisements can be harmful, sending wrong messages, making false claims, or promoting unhealthy habits.

Misleading Messages in Advertisements

Advertisements can imply messages through images or celebrity endorsements.
Examples include ads featuring famous athletes promoting junk food, suggesting that consumers can be like them by buying the product.
These ads send mixed messages, prioritizing sports and physical fitness over healthy diets, and often omitting nutritional information.

Misleading Statistics and Claims

Statistics and scientific claims in ads can be convincing, but may not be as impressive as they seem.
Examples include:
- Survey results, such as "9 out of 10 people prefer our brand," which may be based on small, biased sample sizes (e.g., only 50 people surveyed).
- Vague claims like "dermatologically tested," which only means the product was tested on human skin, but does not guarantee its effectiveness.
Some acne creams were found to make false claims, such as "reduced spots," when they did not actually do so.
