Advertisements present a complex mix of advantages and disadvantages in some communities. nowadays, advertising is considered essential tool for both business and society. In this essay, I will discuss the negative and positive of advertisements.
On the one hand, there are several advantages of advertising. One of the most significant positive impacts is improving countries’ economies. The primary reason to take into consideration is that, when companies create several advertisements to raise awareness among people about their products and services, this can lead to thrive companies by raising their revenues. As a result, many job opportunities will be created, leading to decreased unemployed rates. For example, online magazine has published that, 56/ of international companies have relied on advertisement to raise their incomes.
On the other hand, despite the above positive aspects, advertisements have contributed to negative consequences. One obvious drawback is getting into debt. To be more specific, the majority of people spend most their time browsing social media, where many companies post their advertisements by various effective ways, such as videos, photos, and even texts. Therefore, these commercials encourage people, especially, young people to spend most of their money on buying things that they really do not need, leading to overspending and get into debt. For instance, studies have shown that, in the USA, 40/ of young people who spent their time watching advertisements on social media had huge debt.
In conclusion, after a careful analysis of both sides, it appears to me that, although advertising plays a significant role in enhancing countries’ economies, it also have negative impacts, such as getting into debt.
