In some countries, advertisers increase the amount of advertising which try to persuade children to buy snacks, toys and other goods. Parents object to such pressure on children. But some advertisers claim that there is useful information in these advertisements. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Advertisements targeted on

children

to make artificial wants to buy unnecessary things have an increasing rate in some regions. There is an opinion asserting that

this

would bring an unfair situation to parents as their loved ones pester them to buy

such

products

. I personally completely agree with

this

assertion on the basis of some compelling reasons.

To begin

with, the

first

reason is that youngsters have the illusion that everyone has free access to all material things. To illustrate

this

vividly,

children

have not yet learnt that things cost money and that money has to be earned. To put it another way, they are not familiar with the adulthood concepts

such

as working for a salary.

That is

to say, they are not aware of vital necessities including saving culture and are able to spend a big amount of money without even thinking about it.

Therefore

, advertisements targeted at young

children

have to become limited or even banned in

such

countries. Having said that,

moreover

,

children

are not able to differentiate between useful

products

and those which are harmful. In fact, they do not think that some

products

may be problematic to their health. A good illustration of

this

is fast foods which include a high level of fat and sugar which will cause

children

Replace the word

childhood

show examples

obesity. Indeed, both parents and the media have encouraged them to eat healthy food.

In addition

, they have to be taught that not all

products

that have been advertised are suitable for everyone. In conclusion, it is my firm conviction that since

children

force the elderly to do whatever they want it should be illegal to target them in the advertisement.

This

is mainly because they are not as mature as they should be and could not think properly.
