Some people feel that advertising has negative effects on our society, because
it encourages people to buy more unneeded item, while others feel that it is
beneficial for our economy.
Discuss both of these ideas and give your opinion.

Advertising is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it helps producers to market


their products and profit, but it also frequently encourages wasteful consumption of
goods.

People increasingly rely on product promotions to keep them informed about new
items and to locate the greatest discounts in the marketplace, since advertising has
become a vital aspect of the consumer economy. People shopping for a new car or
a vacation, for example, frequently utilize the Internet, magazines, or other forms
of advertising to assist them in selecting things that best match their needs at the
lowest feasible price. In this sense, advertising is one of the most important aspects
of establishing profitable businesses that can reach the greatest number of
prospective customers while also allowing for competition that lowers consumer
costs.

However, although advertising has its advantages, it also has its drawbacks.
Marketers target vulnerable members of the community, such as youngsters who
are too young to have acquired critical thinking abilities, teens who are fashion-
conscious, or people who rely on consumption items to boost their self-esteem.
These individuals are regularly enticed to purchase expensive and ultimately
worthless commodities that they do not require, and these items usually wind up in
our landfills. They are a colossal waste of resources.

Advertising is one of the key generators of our economy, in my opinion, and we


need it. However, we also require legislation to regulate unethical advertisements
and protect our community's most vulnerable individuals.
