Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things that we really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Many companies promote their new
products
by advertising with famous stars, which generates significant revenues for them. Many
advertisements
attract
people
to buy new
products
,
moreover
, promotional discounts are often included. Do those
advertisements
provide benefits for us? In
this
essay, I will discuss both the good and bad implications of buying based on
advertisements
.
First
of all, some
people
love new
products
and discounts,
however
, they cannot decide which
products
to buy without reading reviews or
advertisements
.
Therefore
, many companies spend their money on advertising, so that information is reached widely. When new
products
are released in the market, some
people
are quite interested to try and become part of the trends.
For example
, new iPhone 14 is released by Apple, many
people
decided to buy it right after seeing the advertisement of how durable the phone is.
As a result
, some
people
just buy the new
products
without thinking much.
On the other hand
, there are too many
advertisements
which confuse many consumers with fake reviews and multiple promotions. While some
people
just bought the product only when they need them, whereas some just bought it without thinking.
Furthermore
, there're
people
waiting for good promotions, so they often found them in some
advertisements
. In
such
cases, those
advertisements
are useful for some
people
as fulfilling their demands. But there are many fake
advertisements
, some
people
just become victims of the scam as they bought without seeing the actual product,
for example
, clothes in the wrong sizes, untested kitchen equipment and fake branded electronics. The awareness of those fake
advertisements
is still lacking, so
people
should read the reviews and find out more about the sellers before making the decision, not just by
advertisements
. In conclusion, I believe some
advertisements
are great but
people
shouldn't buy immediately without learning about the
products
and whether they really need them or not. Since I enjoy online shopping a lot, I subscribed to
advertisements
by email and I decide carefully with extra caution.
