There are many advertisements directed at children, such as snacks, toys, and other goods. Parents argue that children are under pressure. Advertisers claim that advertisements provide useful information. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Marketing is a key component of running any business. One of the most widely used marketing strategies is advertising. It is often debated that kids are bombarded with various product advertisements related to food and entertainment,
whereas
manufacturers believe that they provide useful insights about the products. In my opinion, these ads
should contain legitimate facts and information about the product so that young children
are not motivated in the wrong manner. This
essay will illustrate both views in detail.
To commence with, parents' concern about their children
consuming these ads
is justified. First of all, young minds are very easily influenced by this
kind of marketing. They cannot foresee the consequences of using these products. Hence
, they purchase what influences them rather than what is required. Secondly
, the advertisers work with celebrities, and children
are motivated by their lifestyles rather than real-life heroes. Thirdly
, sometimes a lot of dangerous stunts are shown in these ads
. Young children
can easily get influenced and hurt themselves. For example
, some soda ads
, such
as "Thumbs Up, Pepsi," include a lot of dangerous stunts that can trigger young minds.
On the other hand
, this
method of marketing can lend a helping hand in providing useful information to youngsters. Moreover
, some advertisements are created in a foreign language. It becomes very easy for them to learn a language in this
manner. In addition
, these advertisements can motivate them to do something creative, such
as listen
to the jingles in most Wrong verb form
listening
ads
, which can inspire them to do something similar. Also
, they can choose this
creative field as their career option as well.
In conclusion, it is apt to conclude
that this
marketing technique creates a lot of impact on young minds, hence
they can shop for a number of useless products. However
, these can also
enhance their knowledge by providing useful insights. Governments and various advertising channels should join hands to broadcast high-quality content rather than ads
that trigger impulsive buying.Submitted by hong2016600 on
