Abstract

La publicité est un domaine en plein évolution en termes de stratégies et d’investissements. Informative et persuasive, elle est une communication de masse qui sert à faire vendre un produit. Elle affecte tout le monde, non seulement les consommateurs ciblés. La provocation est une des composantes publicitaires en croissance durant cette dernière décennie (par exemple les campagnes innovatrices de Benetton). Elle fait appel aux émotions, à l’affect et à la manipulation des consommateurs. Elle a comme but la mémorisation de la marque. Les publicitaires sont en train de surmonter les barrières psycho-sociales. Dans ce cas, l’éthique sert à définir les limites et restreindre les publicitaires aux normes dominantes d’une société. L’éthique encadre les obligations des individus à l’intérieur de leurs entreprises et à l’extérieur, car ses individus sont affectés par plusieurs facteurs dans leurs organisations et dans leur vie quotidienne. L’éthique est très importante dans la publicité car elle vise à ce que les droits des hommes soient respectés dans les plusieurs stratégies publicitaires, surtout la provocation. Elle assure une conformité des comportements. Advertising is a domain in constant evolution in terms of investments and of strategies. It is a form of mass communication (persuasive and informative) with an objective of promoting a product. It affects everyone, not only the targeted consumers. Provocation is an important strategy in evolution during the last ten years. It deals with the emotions, affections and manipulations of the consumers. It has as an objective a memorization of the brand. Advertisers today are surmounting the social barriers. In this case, a code of ethics is used to define these limits. The ethics describes the obligations of an individual inside and at the outside of his/her enterprise for an individual is influenced by factors in their organization and their lives. The code of ethics is considered as an instrument to refrain people in terms of the dominant norms of a society. It is used in situations of controversies and of ethical dilemmas. It is very important to ensure that the human rights are respected in the many strategies of advertising, especially provocation. It ensure a conformity in attitudes.
