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?

Advertisement plays a major role in people’s lifestyle and now-a-days it is impossible to avoid them. Some people argue that advertisement leads to the purchase of unnecessary things. I strongly disagree with
this
statement and the reasons for my opinion will be discussed in
this
essay.
Firstly
, advertising a new product not only improve our lives but
also
make it easier.
For instance
, Printers make our work easier by making copies of any material quickly at home. We can
also
spend our time and money efficiently by using
this
kind of products. People can purchase essential things for their own use or as a gift to some others in offers during any occasion with the use of advertisements.
Moreover
, advertisement not only useful to buy things, but
also
to create awareness about people’s health and fitness.
For example
, the Government needs the help of advertisement to introduce a vaccination for an outbreak disease.
This
will be an effective method to reach everyone in a short span.
In addition
to that, advertising fitness club offers and facilities will attract more people to have a healthy lifestyle. In conclusion, because of the above reasons, I believe advertisements are more important in every aspect of people.
However
, it is our decision whether to buy an item or not
that is
advertised. So, we must think wisely and spend our money.
