DISCUSSION TEXT

Advertisements

There are many reasons for both sides of the question, "Should we have printed advertisement'?" Many
people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing more than useless junk mail, while other people
feel it is important source information.

There are some reasons why we should have advertisement in newspaper and magazines. One reason is
ads give us information about what is available. Looking at ads we can find out what is on sale and what
is new in the market. This is an easy way of shopping. Another reason is that advertisement promotes
business. When shop owners compete against each other the buyer saves money, more people come to
their shops and they sell more goods.

On the other hand, some people argue that ads should not be put in newspapers and magazines for
these various reasons. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of money to print onto paper. Also some
people don't like finding junk mail in their letter boxes. Ads also influence people to buy items they don't
need and can't really afford. Ads use up a lot of space and a lot of effort has to be made the ads eye-
catching.

After looking at both sides of issue, I think we should not have advertisements because they cost a lot of
money and take up a lot of room in the papers. I don't think I find some of them interesting. I mainly
disagree because it's junk mail.

 Birth control

Most people agree that some form of family limitation or spacing is desirable for the good of the family
and society. But individuals and groups– especially religious groups–differ sharply on the methods of
birth control that they consider moral and acceptable.

Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit or space their
children or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone having children so that both
partners can work full-time. Other couples space their children so they can give each child as much
attention as possible. Some women are advised by their doctors to avoid pregnancy for health reasons.
In many countries with rapidly growing populations, the government encourages couples to limit the
size of their families.

[26/11 09.51] Quintri Nofitri: Even though birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the
practice is continuous. Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual relations outside marriage
or that government might impose birth control. Some religious groups oppose birth control on moral
grounds.

Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral because they separate
the two purposes of intercourse in marriage–conjugal love and the procreation of children. Although
they oppose all artificial birth control, they consider natural family planning acceptable.
