A controversial issue which is discussed frequently today is how advertisements affect the society positively and negatively both. However ,I do think that the advantages of advertisements can outweigh the disadvantages if its done systematically.
One of the most prominent benefit of advertisements is that it helps in informing people about newly released products in markers which helps consumer in getting the requires product they want to use. The reason for such advertisements is to promote economy of small and local business too .Furthermore ,it is one of the most effective medium to promote awareness of important issues that helps in bringing social changes in the society .Similarly, effective advertising which includes special discounts can help consumers and save their money .For instance ,costumers who cannot afford expensive things in the market ,if they get to know about sales and discounts through ads ,they can save money easily.
A common discussed disadvantage of advertisements is that some ads may bring wrong information about things which can lead to miscommunication between companies and consumers. For example ,people may ger influenced by a ad which has negative social norms and which can affect public point of view. Likewise, ads can create misconception and doubts on the consumer’s brain if they do not get the products exactly how the ads has shown to them. It really can create negative impact on children ,teenagers, youths if the content it provides is wrong and disturbing.
From the discussed points above, I think despite having some drawbacks in the society because of advertisements, it’s benefits can easily overshadow them . Advertisements definitely play crucial role in informing costumers, promoting economical growth , competition in market which can outweigh it’s negative effects like misinformation, it’s manipulative content and so on. So, I think the positive effects of advertisements can successfully outweighs its negative impact.
