Question

can you explain two ways in which you think advertising affects issues of equality in a democracy

Answer 1

Branded products cost much more than those sold loose. It is because they include the costs of packaging and advertising. whatever maybe the reason; it is difficult almost impossible for the large majority of the people to buy such costly / branded costs. only a small group of high class say; wealthy people can afford to buy them. Here the principal of equality is ignored. Advertising is the product of costly affair. only large companies can get their products advertised. so far small business man are concerned; they find it difficulty to advertise their products because their income is small. They often have to sell their products in weekly markets and neighborhood shops. Here also the principal is equality is marred.
I hope this answer will help you.

Answer 2

they feel that they are low level people . so it affect this problem ...
