Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Religion plays a central role in the lives of individuals in many parts of Nigeria, including Gusau LGA, Zamfara State, where religious institutions are influential in shaping social norms and behaviors. Religious advertising, which includes messages and campaigns promoted by religious organizations, has become a powerful tool for reinforcing social norms, promoting ethical behavior, and influencing public attitudes. According to research by Bello et al. (2023), religious advertising has the potential to shape societal values by promoting messages related to morality, social justice, and communal responsibility. This study explores the role of religious advertising in shaping social norms in Gusau LGA, examining how religious messages in advertisements influence social behavior and community values.
