Fr. Kavanaugh was on the mark when describing the effects of advertising

on society. Our moral values are being degraded by the bombardment of

impropriety by the media. Adler would be quick in pointing out the reason why

these messages have such a negative effect on people. There are two main

tactics advertisers use to sell their product: either imply that their product

will bring about the achievement of a particular (usually real) good, or make

their product the object of desire, therefore making it an apparent good to

people. The problem with associating products with the achievement of a good

lies more in the realm of truth than in good, because it lies in whether or not

the product can truly live up to its claims. The relation between a product and

statements, therefore, they are directly misleading the public. The other

subjective thing, it would seem to be acceptable for advertisers to qualify

represent -- in other words, Calvin Klein products are now in and of themselves

associating more importance to the product than to the good involved, like a

society to advocate proper moral values in their advertising, or at least not
