Negative effects of advertising
- Misrepresentation. Advertising strives to present a product in the best light possible, causing a potentially false representation of a product.
- False Images. Advertising influences what people believe about themselves. Images are often unrealistic and unattainable.
- Unrealistic Expectations. A study found that direct-to-consumer advertising for prescription drugs has resulted in unrealistic expectations about the effectiveness of drugs and their side effects.
- Political Influence. Conventional wisdom holds that political advertising in general is harmful to democracy.
