Some people argue that the most important target of ads is to boost the sales of products which people do not really need. While there are some benefits, I believe advertisements usually distracts people from their tasks and leads to overconsumption.
One benefit of the advertising is increasing finance of company. This is because we now living in a telecommunication century, enormous amount of people most of their time spending online. Thanks these, some companies promoting their produce sufficiently via TV or social media, by using a wide range of ads such as flyers, billboards, jingles and pop-ups. Moreover, the most popular one is celebrity endorsement, this can be effective as a high profile and widen audience. As a result, company sales are boosting and increasing profits. However, these ads causing serious problems.
Having said that, despite these advantages there are more issues to society. One of them is that distractor, in other words, advertising agencies frequently use bright colors, costumes, and well-known celebrities while watching them it is easy to forget about task. For example, when I am doing research into websites, sometimes pop-ups advertisement on my screen and distracts me from my survey. Furthermore, advertisements cause one of the global problem, overconsumption. This is because day by day the increasing number of people are using social media and watching TV, and usually stacking advertisements, which tantalize them to purchase unnecessary products. In fact, there are more than 1 million brands, annually producing mass of goods and selling them with help of ads, these causes wasting materials.
In conclusion, while there is financial income from advertisements, I believe that drawbacks such as distraction and overconsumption outweighing any benefits.
