Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things we don’t really need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with?

Some say that people buy things they do not need because of the influence of

advertisements

. Others say that

advertisements

inform a person about new

products

that might make life better. I totally agree with the

first

statement as most companies strive for higher income and new clients.

First

of all, advertising is one of the main tools of modern organizations and companies.

This

tool is constantly modernized as it works effectively and has been tested over time. Apart from attracting new customers, one of the hidden goals of advertising is programming people's mind.

For instance

, some scientific researches proved that constantly repeated pieces of information can be stuck in the subconscious forcing a person to do unusual things in the future. In

this

case, it can be buying something new.

Furthermore

, advertising can greatly increase the income of a company. Usually,

advertisements

designed to look attractive even if they do not have any positive value.

Moreover

, a great number of detrimental

products

,

such

as cigarettes, alcohol and others, are advertised more often than other more beneficial

products

.

This

is because they are costly and make many people addictive creating a high potential revenue for companies and sellers.

For example

, in Russia, more than half of commercials is related to alcohol.

This

creates a big demand for

such

type of

products

and makes the owners of alcohol-producing factories richer. In conclusion, while some think that the goal of

advertisements

is to tell us about new

products

that may improve our lives, I agree with the idea that advertising encourages us to buy unnecessary things. I would recommend ignoring any advertisement as much as possible.
