Advertisements of snacks and toys have a great impact on children and their parents. So, the advertisement to children should be banned. Do you agree or disagree?
People can earn a substantial income by using
advertisements
on social networks. However
, advertisements
for snacks and toys have a significant effect on children
and their parents
. In my view, such
advertising aimed at children
should be banned as it could be highly harmful.
Firstly
, young children
often pester their parents
to buy products they see advertised on TV and social media. This
can lead to serious family disputes as children
may demand unnecessary items influenced by advertisements
. These ads often promote products and services that children
do not actually need, encouraging consumerism.Children
are drawn towards consumerism .Children
have not yet learnt that things cost money or that money needs to be earned.Children
are easily influenced by commercials and may insist on buying certain products, creating artificial desires. For example
, the Coca-Cola company targets children
as a significant market segment, without addressing the potential negative impact of soft drinks on children
's physical and mental health. Therefore
, it is crucial for both schools and parents
to teach children
how to evaluate and analyze advertisements
.
Secondly
, children
struggle to differentiate between actual TV programs and commercials. They perceive advertisements
as part of the media content they consume, like animations, cartoons, or puppet shows. Using children
's film heroes and favourite cartoon characters in ads should be illegal, as it gives children
the false impression that everyone has unlimited access to material things. Additionally
, advertising aimed at children
may contribute to unhealthy habits, such
as the consumption of fast food, which can hinder their growth and development.
Some countries have already taken steps to ban advertising targeted at young children
. In conclusion, advertising not only negatively impacts children
and parents
but also
affects their mental and physical health. It would be beneficial if more countries could implement restrictions on advertising. This
would not only support parents
but also
protect the well-being of children
