Female-Exploitative Advertising : A 10 page research paper defining just what constitutes exploitative advertising. Each spring, the print advertisements of the previous year are pooled for judging. It’s awards time again. Winning an award for an ad is a true cap feather, but winning ads are not necessarily the most effective. If an effective ad as one designed with the built-in ability to reach the audience for which it is intended, then one that grabs the attention of a panel of experts is not necessarily the one that will work best for its intended purpose.

Propaganda in Advertising : An 8 page paper discussing the growth of propaganda in advertising. Most of the complaints of propaganda in advertising address only those campaigns that are blatant in their statements attempting to sway the thinking of consumers. Consumer resistance to such thought-altering attempts is far less than most consumers would care to admit, and the advertisers know it.

Advertising Ethics -- An Oxymoron? : An 8 page paper asking just where advertising professionals should draw the line in their methods to protect their future, and how much responsibility the manufacturers of legal "vices" have in ensuring that their messages are directed to the proper target, and not put forth in an effort to recruit just one more generation of addicts to their products.

Advertising In Movies / On-Screen Product Placement : A 9 page paper on the benefits and the results of advertising by placing products within movies, TV shows and even CD-Rom-based computer games. Movie studios have long preferred using recognized national brands over generic approximations simply for the realism such product use provides. After Hershey’s Reese’s Pieces skyrocketed in sales following their appearance in the movie E.T., both advertisers and media producers have come to see product placement as a valuable tool: the advertising is inexpensive as national advertising goes, and the added revenues reduce the cost of production of the finished product. Some companies say that product placement is valuable only for brand reinforcement, but research indicates that advertisers can well expect increased sales. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Corporate Social Responsibility : 9 pages in length. Few could argue with Adam Smith’s statement that "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." Those businesses that refuse to look after their own self interests will not be businesses long enough to have any impact.
