I don't agree with getting a lot of information about the country which advertises a special product. But I support that we can attain some information about that country.
The country culture will affect the style of its ads. For example I think Japanese ads will be different from Arabic ads. But what are the differences? one different is the shape of people. I mean Iranian race is different form Japanese one that is different form German one, etc. So by seeing each country ads you can get familiar with their races to some extent. the other difference is between the type of food they eat. food products vary between countries. different countries have various kinds of food and they have different ingredients so many country advertise different kinds of food, and so on about anything. In general, production of each country is affected by its culture and as the advertisements are built to sell those products, It is also influenced by the culture of producing country. and the final point which was also mentioned in previous emails is that we should not trust all ads so what we understand about a country from an ad would be improper. That was my opinion.
