Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising can tell you a lot about the country.

It must be accepted that

advertisements

not just publicize the commercial

product

but

also

are seen as the face of any

country

. I certainly agree with the statement that commercials do tell a lot about a particular

country

. My opinion is explained

further

with reasons and examples. The most paramount argument to favour my opinion is that

advertisements

interpret many aspects of a

country

's culture. It displays food habits, traditions, lifestyle, family types, relations and a complete cultural summary.

For instance

, the commercial for a fruit jam in my county shows that children can eat jam not just with bread but

also

with "roti" the most popular homemade Indian bread. The other reason is that

this

publicity media exhibits people's attitudes, expectations and demands for the type of

product

.

For example

, the

advertisements

for hair oil are much more than those promoting anti ageing creams.

This

is because my

country

has still some deep-rooted traditional beliefs, so hair oil sales may increase with

advertisements

than that anti-ageing.

Moreover

, it shows the reliability of the company, the efforts of the manufacturer and the usage of the

product

in the context of that

country

.

On the other hand

, some experts may claim that it may not be so always because

advertisements

are the most popular media to promote new foreign concepts, their use and usefulness. A good example of

this

is a recent advertisement by KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) that promotes an entirely new concept of non-vegetarian fast food. All in all, it can be summed up that though sometimes

advertisements

promote a foreign

product

with a non-cultural idea, the fact remains that

advertisements

undoubtedly represent a

country

's culture and can be seen as its overview.
