Advertising
Advertising is the practice and techniques employed to bring attention to a product or service. Advertising aims to put a product or service in the spotlight in hopes of drawing it attention from consumers. It is typically used to promote a specific good or service, but there are wide range of uses, the most common being the commercial advertisement. Commercial advertisements often seek to generate increased consumption of their products or services through "branding", which associates a product name or image with certain qualities in the minds of consumers.

Communication (from la, communicare, meaning "to share" or "to be in relation with") is usually defined as the transmission of information.

Exact definitions of music vary considerably around the world, though it is an aspect of all human societies, a cultural universal.
