Today, the expensive price of popular consumer products is because of the power of advertising and not real needs of people. Do you agree or disagree?

#price #consumer #products #power #people
In today's society,human beings live differently than they used to be. People consume various expensive products they actually don't in need for.
This
 situation can be attributed to many things, the power of advertisement being one of them. In ancient times, a human only needed food to eat,a place to sleep and water to clean himself/herself. Today, our perception of what we need is totally changed.
For example
, many people have more than one TV at their house and clothes that they've never worn before.
Firstly
,humanity comes from a state of poverty and storing things we don't actually need is a result of
this
. Some sociologists say that
this
 behaviour is encoded in our DNA. Knowing there is no changing that, one must try to be more responsible about what they buy.
Secondly
, we live in a world that more and more people have to face poverty every day.
For example
,
instead
 of purchasing a new iPad people should donate that amount to charity organizations.
In addition
 to that, I must point out the power of advertisement. Big companies spend tons of their money on advertising and there is a logic behind that. Most of these companies know how vulnerable the human brain is. In fact, they design the main points of the commercials according to that. When they get to customer's brain there is a certain urge form. While the urge makes consumers want to purchase things they don't need, the products they sell are almost always there. Capitalism designed trusting on
such
 behaviours. In conclusion, consuming is a trending habit of people.
This
 can be attributed to many aspects of human behaviour as well as the power of advertising.
