some people say that advertising is extremely successful at persuading us to buy things, other people think that advertising is so common that we no longer pay attention to it. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is now common knowledge that the advert of goods and services is a simple way of encouraging many to purchase wares, while others are of the notion that commercials have no impact on their choice of merchandise.
