Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things that we really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which view point do you agree with?

In a literal sense, advertising is an art of showcasing a

to its future consumers. When a company or a person advertise a

and increase their reach to maximum consumers. I am in absolute discord with the statement that advertising insists people to buy things they do not need. In my view, advertising is a key tool in the market mechanism and can benefit customers and ultimately merchants in several ways like spreading awareness, increasing
