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 viewpoint do you agree with?

In today's world, endorsement has become a significant tool for marketing a brand. While some argue that

increases awareness about products that may improve our lives, others are of the opinion that

induces people to buy unnecessary things. I strongly believe that the latter is more correct, as will be explained. To promote a

product

, companies generally propagate only its the brighter side,

thus

providing an incomplete picture of the

product

. When only positive aspects are known, there is an inclination to buy that

product

;

thus

, we end up purchasing something which is not required. One

such

example is herbal products, and weight loss supplements. In data published by the magazine India Today, the use of herbal products to reduce weight has seen a significant increase in the recent years, whereas health experts are of the opinion that weight can only be controlled through proper diet and exercise. Many of my friends who used

such

medicines have later repented their choice.

Moreover

, children are easily attracted by advertisements. Nowadays, most of the teenagers like to own a smart phone which is a result of mass

. Recently a school in the UK banned children from using mobile phones inside school premises, as cell phones were the major cause of distraction which affected their studies. In conclusion, it can be said that an

creates an impression on the consumer's mind and people end up buying an undesired

product

Thus

, a thorough research before buying is strongly recommended.

There is no denying the fact that money is essential to help other people. While it is a commonly held belief to being rich is it provide a person the ability to help other people, there is also an argument that opposes it is not just about being rich to help others even the poorest people could be afford help to others. In my opinion, I consider that ethical and moral it is important to assist others not just about the financial status.
