Advertising helps business to grow and communicate well on products ideas  and goods effectively and it is a sales communication more importantly. 

Today businesses depend on advertising and as much as advertising depends on business. This scene is continuing and trying to make competitive for everyone in market place

Today advertising is a powerful force in modern democracies and a voice of capitalism like and tell people to enjoy modern day benefits and advantages as good buildings good products and good education generally You can have advantages of modern day capitalism using advertising and it is a force to reckon with

Advertising helps to meet consumer demand by producing many products and services and it takes these products to people through communication of messages. 

Advertising is sales communication and it is a powerful tool in modern economy without which much sales cannot be achieved.

Today’s modern capitalist society cannot exist without advertising as it is a powerful force in it. 

To run businesses and to make profit advertising is important and it is a potent force in modern society. 

Also to communicate uses and new uses of a product we would need advertising effectively. Advertising is also useful for social causes also and government uses advertising for its schemes promotion and the like.

Modern organizations use advertising to increase sales and to take products to people and it is a good method of communication today. Today advertising is in need in government and other sectors of society to promote various schemes and products

Advertising promotes consumer durables as well as perishables as Maggi Noodle of Nestle was one of the largest advertised brand. 

Reliance Nirma brand was also one of the heavily advertised brand and advertising promotes sale of goods and services easily.

American Express credit card and travelers cheques were advertised in media and attracted people

Private sector plays leading role in advertising and it has been advertising heavily to influence users and consumers effectively as product advertising has crossed 60000 crore rupees in India.

Private sector has been advertising heavily its consumer goods and launching massive campaigns in media on such products and services advertisements. 

Actor Prabhu has been featured in Kalyan jewelers advertisements and similar actors are found in many TV commercials.

TV advertising has emerged powerfully and more money is spent on TV advertising as many TV commercials symbolize ideology of society at a point of time. 

Prestige pressure cooker advertisement in TV carry a lady who says she is guarantee to prestige and voice over says that those who love their wives will like Prestige. 

When India and America having so much of divorces and sexual liberalism this sort of advertisement assures those who value family  values.  Miller  Beer in USA used to promote American values and American way of life in 1980s. 

Jyothika appears in a tooth paste advertisement promoting Vedas and science as well. 

One Dhoti advertisement features political leaders of past of Tamil Nadu and hence TV advertising promotes culture and values effectively.

Vijay appears in Coke advertisement and Ajith in Nescafe advertisement. 

Their seems to be ideology in movies also as  the Villan in most of Vijay films has Kukkum or a kind of graffti showing or representing Hindus as being wrong ones. 

Actor Vijayakumar who is married twice or married to actress Manjula is portrayed as a good and righteous person in movies and TV programs.

TV programs on Sun TV promotes divorces or remarriages and that kind of ideology as sponsors seem to be hand in such shows.  

This sort of ideology is prevalent in Tamil and Indian cinema  In America Hollywood cinema always have integrated African Americans with main stream and portray them as heros in many films as Police Academy

A Team and the like. Programs like Webster Different strokes are very popular and African Americans are properly presented.   

Muslims being minority in India are not getting special preference like this except some stars as Shah Rukh Khan Salman Khan and Aamir Khan Katrina Kaif act in movies and advertisements.

Muslims are represented in politics since Independence and we have had many Presidents like and Christians don’t have such representation.   This peculiar situation needs a serious study.  

BJP is more oriented to Christians and western culture being a right party than anything else and like capitalist and American ideology and like American way of life more than anything else and promotes American or Christian work ethics. Advertising is a sort of capitalist ideology in a way stressing that ethos more than anything else.
