Such advertisements must maintain transparency and credibilityEthical advertisers treat their consumers fairly and use discretion based on the nature of the product or service. These advertisements never intend to compromise with social conscious. As long as an advertisement is ethical, it will not target human emotions such as lust, fear and greed. Further, these will not revolve around age, religion, gender and race.There is no particular definition of ethical advertising. Ethics are a matter of philosophy and hence it is open to debate.
