In the contemporary world, more advertisements are shown both on the streets and on TV screens. While this brings various benefits like generating job opportunities and increasing sales of products, it is not without its drawbacks.
The primary merit of advertisement is creating more job opportunities for people. In other words, it provides occupations for artists, painters or copywriters in designing and preparing logos, contents or ideas for advertisements. So that, individuals who are between jobs, they are exempted from seeking opportunities for working. Apart from that, advertisement can also help companies to improve the sales of products, which play an important role for both company and government. What I mean by that is organizations can gain a lot of money with the help of advertisement and it also contribute to economic growth.
On the other hand, despite above-mentioned benefits, demerits also exist in large numbers and one of them is exaggerating products. To elaborate, products or services are showed in a way that the bulk of people consider them nearly as the best choice. Moreover, high prices of products, which are advertised to audience can be seen another disadvantage. The reason may be that the high cost of advertisements is covered by the selling price of advertised items. It means that products may have greater expense rather than they should have. If prices are high, it can also lead to destitution among the society.
In summary, although there are some advantages of advertisement, it has also disadvantages like greater price of products and generating confusion among people.
