We live in a modern society where marketing or advertising has become a

and temptations. But I beg to differ. I personally believe advertisements keep us well-informed about the products.

Firstly

, advertisements contain a lot of information about the product in question and all of its potential uses. A lot of products in the market are multi-purpose items and can solve more than one problem.

For example

, I have been using organic aloe

gel as a topical solution for acne for years, but it is with the help of a commercial that I realized that I can use it as a basic

Additionally

, sometimes people suffer through a situation without realizing there are products available in the market that can resolve their issues, or simply help them achieve the desired results.

In other words

, an elderly person with a limited knowledge of technical products, can really benefit by getting the information on right type, size and configuration of those devices.

Lastly

, even through most of the commercials glamorize their products, they contain significantly

knowledge. They prove to be extremely useful, if one can control the urge to buy just about anything, they see advertised.

The government's investment in arts, music and theatre is waste of money. Government should invest these funds in public service instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.
Nowadays many people consider that the government should not exploit money for social activities such as music, painting, and dance. Moreover using the budget for public services is evaluated as more profitable. From my perspective, arts and others are as significant as least public services, and for this reason, I strongly disagree with this opinion. This essay will discuss why I disagree by giving related examples.

Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local costum and behavior others disagree and think that the host country should welcome cultural difference Discuss both view and give your opinion.
Thanks to globalization, the world has become a smaller place than ever before. While some feel that expats must follow the traditions of the nation they are visiting, I, however, agree with those who feel that the host country should allow different cultures. In the forthcoming paragraphs, I will discuss both viewpoints and give my opinion with relevant examples.On the one hand, it could be argued that if the expats follow local rituals, then the cultural values of the visiting country would reach a wider audience. In fact, the visitors might explore more about the visited nations' rituals once they reach back their homes. For instance, the Russian government has made it compulsory for the temporary residents to learn and follow their local customs when they are in Russia, resulting in more visitors who are aware of Russian history. On the other hand, I firmly believe that visitors from other countries would bring cultural diversity if they follow their customs and traditions in th...
