Abstract

The question of whether advertising affects or reflects society's values has been hotly debated for decades. Recently some authors suggested that it is also necessary to analyze the positive and negative values portrayed in advertising. They proposed using the seven deadly sins and seven cardinal virtues as a model for this analysis. Before this analysis can be conducted, however, there are a number of definitional and methodological issues that must be addressed.
