My Refutation and Concession

There can be opinion the ban of advertising can cause business recession of corporations. However, they have to recognize that those who hold powers to consume are parents, not the six-year-old children. The advertiser's should persuade the parents first, that the product is worth to get for their kids.

 It is true that ban of the advertisement can be happened suddenly overnight, thinking realistically. So I admit there should be regulations of parents for their children. They should teach them what commercials are, including their purposes and what they say isn't always truth. Deborah Regan Howe, a mother of two in Buffalo, New York, helps her six-year-old son to improve understanding of marketing by talking about purposes of advertisements with him. She says, 

. “We talk about why children in ads look happy and what the toys might be like in reality. He still asks me for the latest thing, but there is no battle. He understands why if he doesn't get it.”
