Some people say that advertising encourages us to
buy things 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? Use
specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
I think that everyone can divide all advertising
products and services into useless ones and useful ones. It is like looking
through an information desk when you pay attention to those messages that
interest you. Take me for example.
I do not like jewelry. It does not mean I do not
have it at all, I have a couple of inexpensive rings as gifts from my parents.
I just think, people pay too much attention to this stuff. I believe it is the
result of mass advertising. Every day when I am watching TV, listening to the
radio or reading the paper I notice many ads about getting an expensive ring,
chain, necklace or ear-rings. From my point of view these kinds of advertising
contaminate people's minds. In this case you are encouraged to buy things you
do not really need. They make you believe you need such products in order to
succeed or be happy.
From the other side, I think that advertisements of
the new detergents with up-to-date formulas to help you maintain your cloth in
perfect conditions, the new cars with some extra futures that make your
traveling more comfortable and sports goods that make your life healthier may
help you to improve your life.
Recently my husband and I saw an ad on the Internet
about a very interesting and inexpensive vocation to Japan for a week. Is not
it awesome? We like traveling. So now we are planning to find out more about it
and, may be, make reservations. I belief that without advertisements we would
be unaware about plenty of oppotunities that may make your life happier, easier
and less stressful.
My point is that every person has his own scale of
values. So if he is vegetarian he will consider an ad about meat products
useless for him.
