advertisers moral duty

In my opinion I believe that advertising companies should avoid stereotyping in their commercials since many would consider it outrageous and humiliation to certain ethical groups. advertising nowadays is a well known strategy to make sure that a certain group of people are willing to spend their money on your'e product but after all why should it humiliate certain people. advertisements are worldwide they are seen and judged by many, for example an advertisement for coke could range from the United states all the way to the middle east and thats quite a distance but the real question here is, is it funny that advertisers include stereotyping portrayals in their ads or is it a form of entertainment? well in my point of view it onset funny or entertaining as many people are getting offended by the advert itself and by people mimicking them or making inappropriate comments on the physical appearance due to an ad they saw that portrayed them in an inappropriate manner. for example I saw an advertisement that was stereotyping gender roles in which they portrayed a women being all sassy and weak while on the other hand they portrayed the man as being strong and powerful and that not necessarily true because taking a look at the real question here which is do advertising companies have a moral duty to avoid stereotyping, well the answer is yes since they should educate children to have a correct view of the world in which in this case both men and women have equal rights.
