Advertising-these days are part of our modern society. We are surrounded by advertising campaigns whether it is an
advertisement
on a billboard, in a shopping centre or an
advertisement
that pops up
for example
while we watch a Youtube video. Advertising-these days are everywhere. Some believe advertising is a positive development, while others feel that it has a
lot
of negative drawbacks. In
this
essay, I will discuss both views and give my opinion about advertising.
Certainly, advertising does have a positive role in our daily lives as it informs us about products or services which we may need. If we are struggling to get a tough stain out of a shirt,
for instance
, and we see an
advertisement
about a
product
that is on the market that guarantees the removal of any tough stains
then
it would be useful for us to buy the
product
.
Also
, if it wasn'
t
for the
advertisement
we wouldn'
t
have been aware of the
product
.
In addition
, advertising
also
creates a
lot
of job opportunities, from the company that manufactures the
product

to the person who markets it and the retailer who sells it. Creating job opportunities
also
boost the economy is becoming stronger.
Despite
this
, some see advertising as a negative development because it may create a want in people to buy products or services which they don'
t
really need or can'
t
afford. When one sees a
product
or service which you can'
t
afford it might lead a person to go into debt by borrowing money from their bank, friends or relatives. It can
also
have a long-lasting knock-on effect as they may struggle to get get out of debt. Another negative development is that a
lot
of advertisements are aimed at children. Children might see an
advertisement
about a toy,
for example
, and will ask their parents to get them the toy. Whereas the parents might not be able to afford it leading to a
lot
of tension in the household.
In my view,
although
adverting does have its drawbacks, by creating a want for a
product
which one don'
t
necessarily need. It does have some very positive aspects
such
as creating job opportunities for a
lot
of people.
In conclusion, advertising is here to stay especially in our modern society.
Although
, certain advertisements should be controlled especially those aimed at children. It is necessary to keep society informed about what products and services are available.
