It is argued by some people that the surge in the sales of some common goods is due to the effects of

and not

as a result

of societal needs. I agree with

this

view because

creatse

make or cause to be or to become

creates

create

artificial needs and it encourages the purchase of items which may not be necessary due to the impression of

success

and glamour associated with them, One major effect of

is that it

create

Suggestion

creates

artificial needs.

In other words

, it makes it difficult for people to distinguish between their wants and their needs.

Thus

, people are manipulated to purchase certain goods which are not essential and forgo more important items.

For example

, children may pester their parents to buy certain toys that

are regularly advertised

Suggestion

regularly advertise

on the television even when there are pressing needs.

As a result

, people often buy consumer goods that they do not really need.

Furthermore

impress

Suggestion

impresses

success

and glamour on some goods which makes people to buy them. In an effort to increase the sales of

some

one or some or every or all without specification

any

goods, famous individuals are

use

Suggestion

used

to advertise these items so that people will associate their

success

to those products or link some goods to affluence and power.

This

is often used in the promotion of products

such

wears

Suggestion

worn

with their accessories and electronic devices.

For instance

, there have been a surge in sales of Apple phones to youths in Nigeria due to the fact that its advertisements link the products with successful individuals. If these goods are not glamourised through advertisements, many people would not have purchased them. In conclusion, I agree that advertisements have increased the sales of some consumer products which are not necessary.

This

occurs because advertisements create artificial needs and it links some non-essential products to

success

and glamour.
