Question

What can manufacturers, consumers and government do to remove the evils of advertising?

Answer

(i) Manufacturers should not incur unnecessary expenditure on advertising and avoid indecent advertising which is likely to cause decay of social value.

(ii) Consumers should not be misguided by advertising nor should they discard consumer goods before the expiry of their utility period. They should also ignore such advertising as is likely to give birth to bad habits. Besides, they should not encourage monopolistic tendencies by purchasing a particular brand repeatedly.

(iii) Government should take stern action against those who indulge in false propaganda by using advertising media.
