I am very impressed with how the media can manipulate any viewer into buying or taking part in their product. I have read in this section that there are certain ethics that each commercial and advertisement follows. But I still confused by the fact that these "rules" have not increased in number and restriction on the message or the content of the commercial portraying the message.Media has had a huge impact on the self esteem of many people in the world and most of the time their self esteem and body image is warped/ damaged by these advertisements. If media has such a huge impact on how people view themselves and the extent they take to edit their physical appearance to be like that portrayed in commercials/ advertisements, why have they not increased the number of rules on advertising on any medium?
