Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it is right to target uninformed consumers. in a free market, consumers have access to all product info. so it is up to individual consumer to decide whether to become informed. producers do not make that decision for consumers even if they target those consumers. so there is nothing unethical. its the Darwinian principle applies to market economy.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is unethical for companies to target uninformed consumers. People inherently trust what they hear and see from mass media. So when a company makes claims in a commercial, people tend to believe what it says. It would be better if consumers are more critical of what they are told and collect more info on a product they want to buy. Product info should be available and accessible to consumers but some companies try to hide. That makes it unethical.
