Question

 What are your thoughts on using misleading information on those with underdeveloped cognitive issues (thinks/acts like a child)? 

Answer 1

• Children or people who think like a child observe the people around them in various ways.
• They are surrounded by a lot of influential people like parents,characters on television,peers etc.
• These models provide children to observe their behaviours and even imitate them which can both pro or anti-social.
• For example, television is considered to be the most powerful source for children about products.
• Children are vulnerable to persuasive advertising since they lack the knowledge and experience to evaluate things shown on television.
• Advertisements can both be misleading as well as informative as well for a child.
• Parents or people who have more understanding and knowledge need to help children and people who have low understanding by providing them with information about what is misleading and what is correct.
• Also government should too play a part in misleading advertising by addressing the issue and providing cautionary messages.
• Advertisers need to be more careful while making advertisements by understanding that the people watching television or reading newspapers are a mixed bag,not everyone would be able to understand the message they show. They need to stop exploiting the imaginative quality of children.
