The two maps illustrate the major changes in a harbour from 2000 to the present time. Overall, the port has undergone a significant development marked by the introduction of numerous amenities and the renovation of others. In 2000, the harbour was joinable from 2 entrances starting from the main road, which is located alongside the western edge of the map. However, another entrance has been settled in the recent plan. Indeed, a new entry was exclusively devoted to a large car park as well as additional toilets and showers. Furthermore, the marina and its private yachts have taken a larger area in front of the new toilets whilst the fishing boats were permuted to the initial marina’s space in the 2000 port’s feature. Alongside the northern entry of the port, new docks and passenger ferries, located before arriving at the public beach, were erected. On the other southern side, new cafes and shops were constructed in addition to the replacement of the further eastern castle with a hotel. To summarize, the following harbour has been developed with the introduction of a fresh infrastructure and the renovation of the ancient ones.

It is sometimes argued that advertising power and the artificial needs of the people should be represented by products sold in high sales. In my opinion, it would be wrong to encourage people to spend unnecessary money.
There are several reasons why advertisements can be useful in society. Firstly, this can inform people about real bargains so brochures and catalogs enable people to compare products and services at leisure. Secondly, if people do not have time to shop around, they would rely on advertising, so they can learn about new products. Finally, the advertisement could inform people about the environmental impact of products. As a result, customers can consider the ecological effect of goods. Furthermore, people can easily find out, if a company supports fair trade.
One the other hand, the advertisement could extremely create artificial needs, while people maybe would not need to buy the product. By making these needs, people might spend many on that product, which could threaten the budget of the family. People might buy a thing because of the glamourous images associated with that product. For example, children are easily influenced by commercials, so they pester their parents to buy certain goods. Furthermore, I believe that the art of advertising might be subtly to persuade people to spend money on specific goods.
In conclusion, my view is that advertisements could create needs which are unreal, therefore, increase company sales.
