Today, the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

These days the reason of rising sales of popular products is the result of advertisements that people watch on television or see on social media rather than buying products which are of necessity. In my opinion, the above statement is partially true as there are individuals who easily get influenced by advertisements, especially

generation.

On the contrary

In addition

, people who are in their 40s and above do not use their phones as much as younger adults and teenagers.

Hence

kind of advertising.

For instance

, my father has been buying his clothes from Raymonds and still buys it from there without getting tempted by all the online ads. In conclusion, I somewhat agree that ever-rising sales of famous brands is
