Advertising is the very essence of democracy.

Summary

This quote suggests that advertising plays a crucial role in democratic societies. In a democracy, where people have the freedom to make choices and have their voices heard, advertising serves as a means to inform and persuade the public. It facilitates the flow of information, allowing citizens to make informed decisions about products, services, and even political candidates. By enabling businesses and organizations to promote themselves in a competitive marketplace, advertising empowers consumers to exercise their freedom of choice. Therefore, this quote argues that advertising serves as a fundamental pillar of democracy by fostering open communication, competition, and the empowerment of individuals.
