Advertising has both positive and negative effects on society. It promotes prosperity through public service announcements that raise awareness of health and safety issues. However, it can also degrade some forms of art by promoting constant consumerism. Advertising provides economic benefits by encouraging competition and new products, but it also imposes hidden costs on consumers who ultimately pay for the cost of advertising through product prices. Overall, while advertising can educate and create jobs, it sometimes uses exaggeration and deception that negatively impact consumers.
