It is true that advertising has become such an inseparable

part of human’s life that some believe it has a positive impact on


them. While I partly agree with this view, I also consider that
there are some severe effects on daily activities.
Admittedly, advertisements may benefit people at some
point. Firstly, they are able to foster brand awareness.
Commercial gives information about newly-launched products,
which is useful for customers who are unware of such things.
Indeed, improving quality would be less successful if the
manufacturers do not commercialize their items. For example,
one company spends a variety of money on publicity materials
in order to approach potential customers, as a result, they makes
higher profit and enhances those companies’ competitiveness in
the market.
Apart from the benefits expressed above, I would argue that
all the impacts of advertisements are negative. They can
promote consumerism by persuading people to purchase goods
or services, which are not required. This has a severe impact on
general standard of living as money would be diverted away
from the essentials to needless items. For instance, as a result of
constant exprosure to commercials, a child may want the lastest
smartphone which is not always affordable for parents, but they
pay for that rather than investing on education. Moreover,
commercials are not always truthful. They are created to present
a product in the best possible light, sometimes to the point its
quality is exaggerated, leaving people disappointed when using
the actual item.
In conclusion, it seems to me that advertising is not always
advantageous and it also negatively affects us. Therefore, the
government should take action to exterminate the toxic
advertisements.
