Band 6.5

Nowadays a large amount of advertising aimed at children should be banned because of the negative effects. To some extent do you agree?

#amount #children #effects
It is argued that the wide range of
advertisements
 which are made for
children
 nowadays should be prohibited because of the negative effects which they have on
children
.
Although
this
 opinion seems a restriction of some rights, I believe that
this
 prohibiting could be beneficial. On the one hand, banning targeted-at-
children
advertisements
 limits some
companies
 and
children
 rights.
Firstly
, each company has a right to tell the public about its legal
products
. If
companies
 whose
products
 are for
children
 like toys or
children
's cloth do not be able to advertise their goods, it will be hard to market their
products
, so the
companies
 may be faced with bankruptcy.
Secondly
,
children
 have a human right to receive information from a wide range of sources. In order that they can gain knowledge about the various new
products
 and innovations in the market through
advertisements
.
On the other hand
, if advertisers direct their marketing strategies towards
children
, it may cause some negative effects on
children
.
Firstly
, it influences
children
's buying decisions.
Children
 who watch many
advertisements
 demand more toys or other
products
.
Children
 could not be able to identify that
advertisements
 are marketing messages, so they could not perceive these messages and exaggerations in
advertisements
,
thus
,
children
 believe them as truths and demand to buy those
products
.
Secondly
, one of the factors of
children
's obesity and overweight is advertising. Most of the advertising directed to
children
 is relevant to food which most of them are unhealthy or junk food.
Therefore
,
children
 who are under the influence of these
advertisements
 tend to buy more unhealthy food which leads to obesity and overweight among
children
. To sum up, of course, that forbidding
advertisements
 purposed at
children
 may be against some rights about
companies
 and
children
.
However
, by prohibiting these
advertisements
 some negative influences on
children
 can be prevented.
