...What is Advertising 2 Need of Advertisements 2 Merits and Demerits of Advertisements 2 History of Advertisement 2 Chronology of Advertisement 3 History of Indian Advertisements 6 Chronology of Indian Advertisement 7 Different Stages of Advertising In India 9 Conclusion 10 Future of Advertisement 11 Introduction The origins of advertising lie thousands of years in the past. One of the first known methods of advertising was an outdoor display, usually an eye catching sign painted on the wall of a building.

An outdoor advertisement excavated in Rome offers property for rent, and one found painted on a wall in Pompeii calls the attention of travellers to a tavern situated in another town. What is Advertising Advertising is a form of communication for marketing and used to encourage, persuade, or manipulate an audience (viewers, readers or listeners; sometimes a specific group) to continue or take some new action. Most commonly, the desired result is to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering, although political and ideological advertising is also common. The purpose of advertising may also be to reassure employees or shareholders that a company is viable or successful. Advertising messages are usually paid for by sponsors and viewed via various traditional media; including mass media such as newspaper, magazines, television commercial...

...Use of Phones by School Children Name: Institution: Children should not use phones at school The recent rise in cheap mobile phones technology has led the usability of phones by young kids to rise suddenly in the modern world. The phones can be obtained at a cheaper price that the parents can afford to purchase for their kids. Children carry these phones to school and use them for other purposes that are evil (Kamibeppu, 2007). Due to peer pressure and contribution of other factors such lack of maturity, the children often find themselves in a position to misbehave with phones when they are together. The phenomenon has attracted many scholars who have tried to explore the topic. The other reason the children should not use phones at schools is that they are too young to be exposed to the internet technology (Kamibeppu, 2007). Using the internet to explore by young children is unhealthy since they lack the necessary self-control to differentiate between what is good and what is bad. The internet also is very addictive and children can spend even a whole day browsing up to the limit that they cannot do their homework. The internet contains all kind of information and facilities that people can access for free. The internet has no control on what persons by their age should access. Due to peer pressure and lack of ability to reason the children can access wrong information in the form of videos, texts and images. Children can influence each other to watch...

...of Greenpeace campaigns such as climbing onto a plane at Heathrow airport, the coalition government scrapped plans to build a third runway which shows how pressure groups can be effective and true to the function of participation. A function of pressure groups is agenda setting which is where they have the ability to influence the importance of topics on the public agenda so as a news item is covered more frequently and prominently, the audience will regard the issue as more important. A successful example of this is where in 2000, the People’s Fuel Lobby successfully managed to shut down the country by protesting on the entrances to fuel depots and blockaded roads over the issue of fuel prices. Of course, the protests gained headline media coverage and more and more fuel tanker drivers participated. This shows how the PFL as a pressure group were successful in fulfilling the function of agenda setting as they managed to bring an issue to headline news. However pressure groups’ agendas can simply be ignored by the government. In 2011 the Taxpayers’ Alliance said that the government is...

...of advertising that reaches the consumer while he or she is outside the home. This is in contrast with broadcast, print, and Internet advertising. Out of home advertising, therefore, is focused on marketing to consumers when they are "on the go" in public places, in transit, waiting (such as in a medical office), and/or in specific commercial locations (such as in a retail venue). Outdoor advertising formats fall into four main categories: billboards, street furniture, transit, and alternative. Social advertising: Social marketing is the systematic application of marketing, along with other concepts and techniques, to achieve specific behavioral goals for a social good.[1] Social marketing can be applied to promote merit goods, or to make a society avoid demerit goods and thus to promote society's well being as a whole.

...Social Networks and Adolescents Social networking has become more popular with adolescents and young adults today. Facebook is one of the many social network high school students have. Parent and teachers have concerns about social networking effects on adolescent social development. Everyone is using online social networking sites. Today, more and more adolescents are already using social media to maintain relationships and connect to new groups. Also known as, the rich get richer hypothesis. Many more adolescents are less socially adept using social networking websites to make new friends when they might be too shy to do so in real life. Second, how are relationships forming online?

The constant growth in technology has resulted in the creation of over five online social networks for people to sign up for and be members. Research shows that almost every teenager is an active member in one social media site, at least. Further research into the time that people spend online in these social networks per day is even alarming. The connection between teenagers and online social networks is a cause if concern. Adolescents use the social networks as a platform for creating friends and getting to know each other. However, despite the strong relation between teenagers and social networks, better precautions...

...Effectiveness of Recruitment in Organizations Introduction Recruitment is a ‘linking activity' bringing together those with jobs and those seeking jobs. Companies are now looking out for new ways of giving themselves a competitive advantage. To define recruitment, it is a process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in an organization.
