Is having widespread advertising good for a society?

Advertising has grown to be an industry worth many billions of dollars across the world. Almost all public space has some advertisements in sight and all forms of media, from newspapers to the internet, are also filled with adverts. Whilst this helps companies sell their produces, and helps consumers to learn what is on offer, many believe that this huge amount of advertising can be harmful. It may make people want too much, or things that they cannot have, or it might make them feel inadequate when they don't have something. Research shows that children can be particularly open to these kinds of risk.

Advertising their products is not wrong. But consumers should be well knowledged about the product

While widespread advertising can increase awareness among the potential customers. It might also impact the brand building of the product in a negative name, if there is even a small glitch in the process of advertising.
