For the past decade many industry commentators have been predicting the immanent end of advertising as we know it. Explain their reasons for holding this view and critically evaluate the case for and against. Be careful to pick apart the conceptual issues- the argument turns on what is meant, by advertising. Requirement: 1. Style: The chosen title should be placed in full at the top of the submitted work. The essay must be typed double-spaced in 12 point font, it must be carefully copy edited for grammar and spelling, it must be clearly written and logically reasoned, and it must use Harvard citation style to refer to scholarly works. In addition to the citations in the body of the essay there should be a list of references at the end (again, in Harvard style). Essays should also use visual examples (e.g. screen shots of video or social media ads, stills of print ads or photos of outdoor ads etc) that are integrated into the text. 2. structure: Each essay should open by discussing any key issues, contradictions or assumptions arising from the question, and by explaining what particular angle of approach it will take to address the question. The main body should engage carefully and explicitly with the points raised in the question, illuminating the various lines of discussion with case examples (visual and/or described) and through judicious reference to scholarly works (cited Harvard style). The essay may develop one line of discussion in depth or develop several, but all should be clearly engaged with the question that was asked. The essay should end with a brief concluding paragraph, summarising the foregoing question and key points arising from the discussion. Essays may use sub-headings if you wish. 3. content : There is no single correct way of addressing these questions, the aim of the essay is to enable you to develop an individual line of critical scholarly discussion at some length. One essential element of content is that the essay draws on some of the relevant course material, and of course credit is given for additional reading. It is important to engage with all issues raised in the question in a balanced and scholarly way, giving due acknowledgement to all sides of the argument. It is of course entirely proper, though, for you to express a reasoned point of view. Credit will be given for novel, telling and/or powerfully expressed arguments and insights, and also for demonstrating good understanding of scholarly works and theories to which the essay refers. The essay should achieve an excellent level of analytical discussion that demonstrates wider reading and a critical understanding of the topic(s) in question The issues raised by the question will be set in a wider of context of scholarly work The academic writing style should be fluent and persuasive, and there should be minimal errors of grammar and spelling. There will be relevant and insightful lines of argument developed
