       Advertising Resolution
       By: M217 Date: January 22, 2015, 2:19 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       No direct challenge, no preference with regards to who decides
       to join. Basically, leaving this as an open debate.
       Claim (Assertion):
       Advertising does more good than it does harm.
       Evidence:
       -The field of advertising, marketing, and public relations
       employs about 625,000 people in the US. This means that
       approximately one in 500 people are employed in this field.
       -Advertising is a method by which one's ideas become accessible;
       for example, a presidential candidate may choose to advertise
       that they will protect the environment while their opponent may
       claim to defend the rights of the middle class. As such, in
       public decisions, such as a vote, advertising is an unimaginably
       important tool.
       -A significant portion of transactions made in America are the
       result of advertising; it creates a positive feedback cycle that
       strengthens the economy.
       Starting with these three major points for now; hopefully
       somebody will reply and I won't be forced to debate myself.

       I agree with this statement: advertising is more helpful than it
       hurts.  As far as I can see it, a major positive benefit of
       advertising is allowing a website or TV station to provide
       entertainment or a product without directly charging the
       consumers.  Without advertising, many websites that we can
       currently access for free would have to find other ways of
       making money, which would likely involve charging the users of
       the websites.  Sure, it's a nuisance, but it's better to have it
       than be without it.

       I accept this challenge. I will add my rebuttal soon.
