Most advertisements aimed at teenagers are effective, but usually are not ethical. Most marketers have many ways of gathering information on teenagers spending habits and what is most important to teens. With this information they’re able to create advertisements that will appeal to most teens and create profit. Many people argue that some or most of these ads aren’t ethical because they will create a problem or insecurity and then give the solution to that problem in the form of their product.…
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.…
The average American youth spends 1,500 hours watching television and in those 1,500 hours they will view an average of 20,000 thirty-second commercial advertisements. Norman Herr, Ph.D., Television Statistics (2007), http://www.csun.edu/science/health/docs/tv&health.html. Many of those advertisements include an array of alcoholic beverages, scantily dressed actors or actresses promoting sought-after clothing brands, and popular children stars or cartoon characters promoting fast food chains. Along with the fore-mentioned products there are commercial advertisements promoting violence and unsafe acts. The latest trends in advertisements have led to lower morals, a higher obesity rate, an attitude of materialism, and alcohol consumption amongst America’s youth. There is currently a very toxic relationship between television advertising and American youth.…
This survey was born out of concern that there are few statistics on the effects of marketing industry 's impact on our youth. Just as the article on "Consuming Kids" raises awareness about children being lured into believing they can 't live without things and the problems rising out of it. This survey makes us aware of how this market is willing to sacrifice the sanctity of family life by undermining the parents via their television while children watch mega hours of uninterrupted commercials aimed at them. These surveys were compared with a couple of sparsely completed other ones. The respondents felt that problems such as: aggressiveness, materialism, obesity, lack of creativity, overly sexualized behavior and self-esteem, were detrimentally influenced by the youth marketing industry.…
Some advocates of advertising describe that ads boost our economy and encourage competition among business. Although this may be true, it is at the expense of our impressionable youth. One of the largest consumer markets in today’s society is that of teenagers. Nancy Day says that, “teens establish buying habits [that] will carry into adulthood” (Source D). With an increasing amount of purchasing power, teenagers have been targeted by businesses wanting to integrate their product into the teenager’s lives. Teenagers are also easily swayed—yet another reason why businesses attempt to attract teenagers. Advertisements negatively affect teenagers by presenting unrealistic situations and bad moral behavior. For example, teenage girls are influenced by stick-skinny models in magazines to have ultra-slim figures. This mind frame can cause unhealthy eating habits and disorders. Teenagers are also influenced to use alcohol and tobacco through advertisements. One cannot get through a commercial break on TV without seeing an advertisement for a brand of beer. Drinking alcohol is shown to be fun and therefore teenagers want to take part in whatever activity that is being shown. “Advertisers claim that it is up to the consumer to make moral decisions. The advertisers simply present their products” (Source F). However, it is the advertisers who “[spend] a great deal of time and money to study how best to attract and control consumers of…

Thesis Statement: Advertisements are allowing and affecting teens to start being independent buyers. I strongly believed that most ads are unethical because advertisements will say whatever teens want to hear in order for them to buy their products. Teens are also getting a lot of self-esteem problems and eating disorders because they’ve been trying to look like the models from the advertisements.…
Children have become their own category of consumers. According to Kids Health, a child takes in an average of 40,000 television advertisements a year and about 3,000 general ads a day, and on average there are eighteen minutes of commercials per hour of television (Kids Health). With advertisements and images coming from all mediums and being constantly projected in front of children’s faces, it is bound to have an impact on them. This impact is mental, physical, short term and long term. Today, because advertisements seem so appealing and are so regular, they are becoming a large part of a child’s everyday life and are creating an image of what the youth should be, affecting their identities, as well as altering the basic nature of children. Television is playing a major role to create a materialistic generation and parents need to redirect their children from the path they are being led down by marketers.…
Every day, everyone is bombarded with a copious amount of advertisements. Most people are exposed to about hundreds of ads on a daily basis from a wide variety of sources. These ranges from billboards, to bus ads, to TV commercials, and even those news paper ads that no one remembers. About 65% of the ads viewed on a daily basis are commercials. The younger generation spends more time on TV or on social media websites, thus the youth is exposed to more commercials on a regular basis. The message shown in ads have made the younger generation more self-aware of their image of having the “perfect” body shape, and being up to date with the latest product to fit in amongst their peers.…
Do advertisements really influence America’s youth? According to many pediatricians, “Research has shown that young children – younger than 8 years old – are cognitively and psychologically defenseless against advertising” (“Children, Adolescents, and Advertising,” 2006). Children see advertisements of different things almost everywhere they go. Two types of advertisements that kids may come in contact with on a daily basis are fast food advertisements and advertisements that encourage them to look or behave a certain way. In today’s society, with the help of TV commercials, magazine ads, and the internet, children are constantly in the world of advertisements (“Children, Adolescents, and Advertising,” 2006). This is an issue that needs to…
