There are many opinions about advertisements encouraging the customer or improvement in our lifestyle. I believe it forces the customers to buy something that they don't need in their life. I will discuss the reasons for my perspective in
this
essay.
While
some believe advertisement helps a person to choose the item that improves their lifestyle. However
, there are many alternative ways to do the same work as the advertised product that we don't know, and we don't have time to do some research for the alternative ways that are available online that show the same things done by household things. For example
, there is a device that is
often advertised while
watching videos, it peels the fish's skin easily but we can do that without any effort by pouring hot water on the skin it will make the skin peel itself.
On the other hand
, day by day we are inventing thousands of items that can help with our household chores, for example
, the moping robot which can sweep and mop your house while
you are at work. However
, it is not the cheapest option and it also
needs some maintenance which often we forget to do so, and the device goes bad soon and all the money goes to waste. By watching advertisements we are encouraged to use that product and without thinking about pros and cons we mostly buy the item and most often after using it one or a maximum 2 times it sits in some corner of the house.
To summarise this
, Mostly it is a waste of money when we are forced to buy anything if someone or any platform shows something about a product we should think about the needs, pros and cons for the usage of any that, and after going through these steps if we get something then
it will be a worth buy.Submitted by MK on
