I have learn how to write an arguementative essays in school. So, today I would like to do an argumentative essays in my blog with a title of is advertisements do more harm than good?
In the 21st century, science and technologies had already conquered our country so well and everyone is well-known about advertisements. Am I right? Well, of course is a yes. This is because people will eventually meets many advertisement along the side of the street and also when we play games, thus when we are online. Many of us had already fed up seeing all the advertisements everyday. Through a recent research, people todays were force to see more than 5000 of advertisements a day. In another point of view, many people would think of advertisement is uncecessary because overload of advertisement is being shown up in the media everyday. I strongly agree that advertisements do more harm then good.
Firstly, it can be elucidated that through the load of advertisements, people are given too many choices, which make them less happy. Why do I say so? Well, advertising leads to many people being overwhelmed by endless need to decide between competing demands on their attention. In another word, this is known as tranny of choice or choice overload.
Moreover, advertisements make people nowadays to be self-centered. Advertisements tell children that they should have everything they want. Thus, it also give the impression, especially to thee children, that they can and should have everything they want. As a result, children become to obsessed and interested on material things and losing their moral values. For instance, their possessions and material things become their main concern and non material things like family and friends take a back seat. Therefore, they become self-centered. They only care for themselves and not others.
However, we can see that prices are cheaper because of advertisements. Well, that is a false argument. We can be sure that the producer does not lower the prices as it will lower their profit margin. Moreover, which would carry burden of advertising and do we expect producer to pay for it? Of house is not! The chat of advertisement remains on the shoulder of consumers. This may undoubtedly increase the prices of the product we buy. It might be difficult to believe but that is the truth.
Another point is advertisements are in attempt to brainwash customers. People cannot choose to ignore the advertisements because advertisers use many methods and ways to get their message across to the customers. Posters contain attention - grabbing words or provocative pictures. By targeting people's unconscious thoughts, advertisements are a form of brainwashing that take away people's freedoms to make choice. Therefore, we are all affected by advertisement in one way or other.
It may be argued that advertisements make our life more interesting. However, we cannot accept this argument because the levels of advertising address just too much these days, thus causing people cannot walk down the street, ride a bus, watch television or read your email without seeing advertisements. Recent research suggests that people living in a city today sees up to 5000 advertisements a day. I am sure their lives will not be interesting to be attacked by a huge quantity of information they might not want. An interesting lie is a life where we live in peace without being forced to watch, listen or view these useless advertisements.
Last but not least, advertisements try to make people's lives miserable about not having the products that are advertised. It is undeniable that advertisements make people feel inferior if they don't have the products that are advertised. This is especially true in women's beauty products where perceptions of beauty and fashion have been terribly distorted. As a result, many naive people feel that their skin will become smoother, their hair will become silkier only when they use certain brands. They feel that their lives are miserable without using the products advertised. In many advertisements, beauty is also equated to a slim body. As a result, many people, especially ladies, have low self-esteem and lead to unhealthy lifestyles as they geek there is a need to be thinner and more attractive like the models in advertisements. This again makes their lives miserable.
In summary, it is undeniable true through advertisements increase the price if products, spoil us with too many choices and brainwash us, making Uzbekistan self-centered and miserable.
