There are many advertisements directed at children, such as snacks, toys, and other goods. Parents argue that children are under pressure. Advertisers claim that advertisements provide useful information. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Nowadays, there are many commercials that are designed to match children’s interests by advertising fast foods or toys. While parents believe that these commercials are having bad effects on children, advertisers state that these advertisements are giving out beneficial information. Both views and my personal opinion are to be outlined below. On the one hand, advertisements are influencing and controlling children considerably in a dangerous way.

In conclusion, I agree with the former view of the parents and believe that the statement that advertisers give out is just an excuse for much greater and more serious damage that children might suffer from.
