Advertising, in its non-commercial guise, is a powerful tool capable of reaching and motivating large audiences. It is widely held that while quite a number of people claim that myriad numbers of advertising attract
children
to buy
products
such
as toys and food as they are not mature enough to decide what is right and wrong for themselves.
As a result
, they feel immense pressure to buy
such
types
of
things
.
However
, promoters would opine differently. Of course, there are compelling arguments on both sides of the divide. In
this
discourse, notwithstanding, these two standpoints are looked into, and
subsequently
, my own point of view is advanced.
Obviously, the exponents of the schools that
children
are vulnerable. They get easily preyed on by these
types
of corporate giants.
In other words
, by observing attractive publications, little ones may force their parents to buy the published
things
in the advertisements to stay tuned with the latest updates. Young ones
also
want to update themselves by adopting different
types
of items
such
as advanced electrical toys, automatic trains to showcase
such
things
to their friends because peer pressure is
also
a prominent factor in
this
materialistic society as rich parents buy
such
types
of
products
for their offspring easily to satisfy their wishes. To exemplify, to replicate the style of other
children
who have these trendy
products
or tasty food purchased from
such
types
of ads, poor youngsters feel dull and pressure their guardians to obtain the same.
On the flip side, advertisers state that they are marketing their
products
in the market to spread knowledge about the latest technology and the importance of health, which is necessary for
children
to get themselves updated and healthy. Put differently, we are living in a competitive world; if young
children
will not aware of
such
trends, diets, or the latest information, it would be difficult for them to survive in a modest society where everyone wants their child to become smart, healthy, and trendy. To epitomize, some marketing
products
contain, indeed, knowledge to gain as they may enhance the creativity of
children
.
Moreover
, there are
also
advertisements for snacks
such
as cornflakes that contain healthy nutrients which encourage
children
to consume healthy food.
In conclusion, having explored both perspectives, it is evident that even though keep aware
children
of the latest technology and snacks, I personally consent to the hilt that lucrative ads force
children
to buy a variety of
things
such
as toys and snacks as “ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD”
