In the contemporary period,
advertisements

have become one of the most effective activities of companies to remain in
this

competitive world. Some people believe that
advertisements

should be banned to prevent their negative consequences
such
Linking Words
as overconsumption and materialism. In
this
Linking Words
essay, I will discuss these groups' points of view and clarify why I disagree with them. Those in favour of stopping
advertisements
Use synonyms
think that over the
last
Linking Words
decades, over-consumption has grown significantly and has made a materialistic world.
As a result
Linking Words
, the public is encouraged by
advertisements

to purchase a product that they do not require it. As they do not have the capacity to utilize all those products, they have to dump them as waste.
For instance
Linking Words
, it was estimated that almost 15% of customers participating in a survey conducted by Michigan University in 2015, did not require that product and advertising persuaded them to buy it.
On the other hand
Linking Words
,
although
Linking Words
advertisements

have had
such

negative consequences, by banning them the majority of the community would lose their occupations. To illustrate, advertising is a promoted industry that has recruited different professionals from actors to directors.
For example
Linking Words
, based on recent statistics, almost 132 employees in Milestone - the biggest advertising company in London City- are working.
Therefore
Linking Words
, without
this
Linking Words
industry unemployment would deteriorate.
To sum up
Linking Words
, based on the arguments cited above, I totally disagree with the statement and I reckon demolishing the advertising industry would not be beneficial for the government and society. It is the government's responsibility to make policies in order to restrict possible negative consequences of publishing various types of
