Some people say that advertising is extremely successful at persuading us to buy things. Other people think that advertising is so common that we no longer pay attention to it. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

A significant number of
people
are of the view that the publicity of
products
such
as Microwave, Cars, Clothing and Phones is greatly successful at convincing us to buy these items.
However
, others are
also
of the view that advertising is so ordinary that we do not longer deem it necessary.
This
essay strongly endorses the former view held by these
people
.
However
, the two opposing views shall be extensively addressed in the body paragraph after which a logical conclusion will be met. On one hand, the reason why
people
think that advertising becomes successful in persuading us is that it places emphasis on a particular product. The majority of companies during the advertisement of their
products
try to give much information about their goods. They make sure that we are well vested with the merits and as well as demerits of a particular product before selling it to the general public.
For example
, An eminent company like Samsung who is well known for producing TV sets, air-conditioners and mobile phones during the exhibition of their new
products
provide us with the necessary information concerning their use and
this
goes a long way in
finally
convincing us to purchase them.
On the other hand
, advertising has become so intense that we do not pay much attention to it again. The advent of technology has made everyone to be publicising anything they want which do not necessarily place much value in
people
's life.
In addition
,
people
have become more acquainted with more advertisements and
this
had made
people
become fed up with the adverts they see nowadays on their screens.
For instance
, the popular advertisements for washing powders in my country have made public
such
products
irrelevant so that we do not pay much attention to them. In conclusion, after analyzing the two contradictory views, some
people
think advertising is so common because
people
are fed up with the increased rate. I strongly believe it has been successful in convincing us to buy
products
because it places more emphasis on particular
products
.
