People are surrounded by all kinds of advertising. Some people believe that advertising has a negative effect on people’s lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent decades, a majority of countries have experienced a growing popularity of advertisements due to their benefits.

detrimental effects on individuals.

Although

I concede that advertising has some favourable aspects, I am more convinced that its drawbacks outweigh its benefits. On the one hand, I suppose that there are positive impacts of advertisements.

Firstly

, commercials provide useful basic information

products, including their functions, characters and other additional feature, which might help them make the right decision. Admittedly, consumers could hardly know whether or not they should purchase items if they were not given any information about items.

Therefore

, companies regard advertising campaigns as one of the most effective ways to introduce new products to customers.

Secondly

, advertising can potentially make a contribution to the development of an economy. Obviously, an increasing number of commodities are sold

On the other hand

, I do believe that advertisements bring many negative influences. The main disadvantage is that they usually exaggerate the quality of commodities, so the public has been increasingly apathetic to advertisements because of the misleading information about a product they may contain.

Such

details provided by commercials can raise people’s expectations that cannot in fact be lived up to. It is alleged that nowadays, the majority of people lose their trust on advertising because advertisements often deliberately overstate the function of items, especially luxurious ones. Another unfavourable aspect is that youngsters often cope with financial difficulties when they spend much money on buying products that are advertised by their idols. It is a matter of fact that many companies co-operate with a variety of celebrities to catch the youth’s attention who believe that sharing the same items with idols brings some special meanings. In conclusion, I would restate that advertising has both merits and demerits so individuals need to think carefully about buying items based on only advertisements.
