Questions to research: Are advertisements aimed at teenagers effective? And, are they ethical?
My Response: I think advertisements aimed at teenagers are effective. Most of today’s social media is filled with teens. Many of the teen population today also have jobs of their own which enable them to purchase something they like when they see it and if they want it more than likely they will get it if they’re able to themselves. Also, if a teen sees something on an advertisement and they get it then there’s a chance than another teen may see them with and want it. It could create a chain reaction. Most advertisements for technology that are aimed towards teenagers. The ads want to advertise something that would be advanced for teens.

    It has been noted that the media and advertising industries have targeted the children in the process of selling products and services. Children are in the age range that is most influenced and are most desired for companies to sell products to. Minors are young and are therefore potential long-term consumers. Some of these advertising industries include companies selling credit cards, tobacco, alcohol, clothing and fast food. According to marketing expert James U. McNeal, PhD, author of "The Kids Market: Myths and Realities" (Paramount Market Publishing, 1999), children under 12 already spend a $28 billion a year. Teen-agers spend $100 billion. Children also influence another $249 billion spent by their parents. At the same time they are helping these companies prey and destroy little minds. According to him "Advertising is a massive, multi-million dollar project that's having an enormous impact on child development." "The sheer volume of advertising is growing rapidly and invading new areas of childhood, like our schools." A letter protesting psychologists' involvement in children's advertising was written by Commercial Alert, a Washington, D.C., advocacy organization. The letter calls marketing to children a violation of APA's mission of mitigating human suffering, improving the condition of both individuals and society, and helping the public develop informed judgments. It urged the APA to challenge what it calls an "abuse of psychological knowledge." • Issue a formal, public statement denouncing the use of psychological principles in marketing to children.…

    Not only does technology with online marketing help potential customers ignore ads during their attempt to turn them into consumers, but it also allows niche marketing to step in and become more prevalent. A prime example to defend this belief is with social media. When one of the one billion plus Facebook users log into their account, immediately ads pop up. These ads are generated depending on where the Facebook User is located, what their relationship status is, what pages they have “liked”, and what they share on their walls. This approach is genius and doesn’t come off as intrusive. Before I had my first child, I was showered with ads about baby products that I should purchase, and “mom-to-be” programs. They were educational, and informative, and I totally bought into the marketing scheme. The ads Facebook users are presented with are…

    Advertising in the 21st century has become more competitive and aggressive toward children. They are being inundated by advertising at a very young age through television, radio, internet, and teen magazines. Children are vulnerable marketing targets: easy to manipulate and posse the power of persuasion over parents.

    The advertising market focuses on the “human desires for security, acceptance, and self-esteem to influence consumer choices” (Carroll, 1). The amount of manipulation available drastically increases when that said audience is a child. Children have much less cognitively developed processes than in that of the adult brain. Electronic media is becoming an increasing difficult media to escape, with the average American consuming more than 1500 ads every day, making media outlets the perfect vehicle for overwhelming messaging through advertisement and an absolute nightmare to avoid for children.…
