The advertisements are the part and parcel of our daily
life
,
although
 it is a widespread belief that these advertisements make people unconsciously buy items that are
otherwise
 not required.
However
, there are proponents believing that these commercials provide information about new products that will benefit our lifestyle. I tend to agree with the former belief and would like to share my reasoning with
this
 essay. There have been

 about products without which a common man can spend his

 comfortably. These ads mislead the proponents to believe that they really need that particular
product
 and make them spend their hard earned money. I would say these adverts are nothing but

On the other hand
, there are some people who believe the advertisements are a necessary evil, as it is the only
way
 the prospective users of a newly launched

 can know about the
product
. It is certainly a valid argument, but do we really need that
product
? People have been able to comfortably spend their days without it so far. In the

 would reiterate my argument and say that the advertisement are only a gimmick of multi-national companies to sell their
product
. They don't add any value to a people's lives.
