An often debated topic is whether advertising has a major influence on the growing similarity of people's lifestyle in the modern world. Personally, I partly agree with
this

opinion for a number of reasons.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, the power of advertising is undeniable. The growth of the advertising industry has resulted in many people buying products of the same manufacture, which can be seen in the case of consumer goods. Today, the advertising campaigns

for
multinational companies
such

as Unilever have been so successful that their products almost dominate the market. Smaller enterprises tend not to be able to compete with these giant market leaders due to their disadvantages of capital poured into advertising programs.
Thus
Linking Words
, customers are often swayed to buy products of famous brands rather than those made by less well-know companies.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, it is
also
Linking Words
true that people have the tendency to copy other's lifestyle without being affected by advertising.
For example
Linking Words
, it is valid to argue that many young people are trying to emulate the fashion styles of their idols. Many Vietnamese youths manage to purchase the same clothes, dye their hair and wear the same perfume as their stars do. People can
also

turn to their social relations for advice when they need to buy something.
For instance

, junior citizens always ask their friends before they come to a final decision

to
buy a smart phone. In conclusion, it is true that advertising has bridged the gap between each individual's lifestyle in modern society.
However
Linking Words
, I believe that it is not the sole factor that contributes to the trend.
