Advertising discourages people from being different individuals by making us all want to do the same and look the same. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is considered that the negative effects of advertising kill the audiences' individuality while leading the similar trends. In my opinion, I completely agree with
this
viewpoint, and I will explain my reasons in Linking Words
this
essay.
Linking Words
First
of all, advertising is a powerful tool of promotion that contribute to commercial purpose. Linking Words
In other words
, the companies and influencers spread the same information that prompts the audiences to purchase their products. Linking Words
For example
, many owners of commercials would like to use the influence of celebrities which has the effect of "role model". Linking Words
However
, many celebrities lead similar fashionable life and brainwashing the public, Linking Words
such
as the same value and aesthetic of fashion and lifestyle that popular in social media. Linking Words
As a result
, the advertising receivers are prone to purchase the current fast fashion products Linking Words
instead
of living an individually and environmentally-friendly lifestyle.

Furthermore
, commercial advertising influence the public with a strong sense of consumerism. Because of their purpose of making profits, the commerce tends to instil consumeristic values into the audiences to stimulate their desire of shopping. Linking Words
For instance
, many luxury brands advertise the symbolism of luxury goods-- status and privilege. Linking Words
Moreover
, the land agents Linking Words
also
spread the class value of the estate to instigate people's vanity. Linking Words
Therefore
, more and more individuals have a mindset that the expensive goods and houses represent the higher living standard and status, along with losing their individual critical thinking abilities and inner beliefs.
In conclusion, advertising has the serious influence of spreading the same value, Linking Words
such
as the similar aesthetic, and consumerism will lead to greater life. Linking Words
In contrast
, I believe that a satisfied life depends on the diversity of an individual's lifestyle, whether it is luxury or simple, whereby "less is more".Linking Words
