In my project I am going to be focusing on advertising of Alcohol in our current society and its positive and negative effects. <\/p>\n
By looking at how the negative health effect of smoking changed the advertising of cigarettes I will relate this to what we already know about alcohol and its damaging attributes both physically and mentally, and assess if the advertising of alcohol needs to change. <\/p>\n
It is arguable that because alcohol is a legal product then it should be legal to advertise. <\/p>\n
However, the same can be said for cigarettes but because of the clear connection between cancer and cigarettes. <\/p>\n
Clearly a total ban on alcohol advertising would be detrimental to individual brands of alcohol, but possibly not on the general sale of alcohol. <\/p>\n
The main arguments against alcohol advertising suggest they increase sales in existing drinkers and provoke new young drinkers. <\/p>\n
Cheap accessible alcohol promotes anti-social behaviour and heavy drinking which can lead to alcoholism and depression in later life, as well as various health issues. <\/p>\n
Essentially, advertising of alcohol legitimates excessive use of a potentially damaging product. <\/p>\n
To establish if it is right to ban alcohol or an infringement of our liberty I will be looking at Bentham and Mill\u2019s concept of welfare. A vitally important question for Mill is what are: \u201cthe nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by the society over the individual\u2019 (L.1.1) <\/p>\n
I aim to establish whether the health effects of alcohol are reason enough to ban the advertising of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
