Arrington on Advertising Robert Arrington's "Advertising and Behavior Control" attempts to defend the advertising industry, and the practice of a company's exaggerated verbal claims, from the charge of "manipulation, exploitation or downright control" (283). Arrington contends that approaching this issue depends upon the philosophical concept of autonomy, a "complex, multifaceted concept" which requires an understanding of four things: "autonomous desire," "rational desire and choice," "free choice," and "control or manipulation."
