Do you think Advertisements have a dark
side? Or do you think Advertisements only provide beneficial things? As we
know, advertising plays momentous role in each society. It can change the whole
world in a short time whether in a positive or negative way. Indeed,
advertisings is harmful to people because of two specific reasons: influence on
kids and consumers deception.
Advertisements
are damaging in view of the fact that they have particularly huge effects on
children. According to my viewpoint the content of advertisements may be
inappropriate for children. A case in point is that is kids see unethical ads,
they might impact kid's behavior, and they could affect their ethics. In
addition, the advertising may promote social evils. As a result, it may make
children become more aggressive, offensive, and violent. Moreover, it might
influence children's minds, and it may affect their bodies too. To give an
example, some advertising claims that soda gives us a lot of energy, but soda
is very harmful for us especially our kids because they engage in an important
stage of confirmation and maturity. Last but not least, some advertising may
cause obesity. It may show some illegal ads for kids such as drugging,
drinking, and smoking. Finally, ads may waste time particularly for kids. In
other words, ads appear too long, so ads may consume their time without any
benefits. Advertising is used to promote some products in order to make those
products appealing to people, so people decide to buy them even if they do not
need them.
Advertisements
have another negative side when they are used to deceive people. They show
different products from the real ones because of how want to purchase something
that does not appear good, so companies' a lot of trick to improve their
products, or they send many positive messages about their products that may be
false. Consequently, the customers will be confused when they see those ads,
and they will be changed from real purchase to unaware purchase. Furthermore,
ads may offer some products to the public that may cause some problems. One
good illustration for this is that some ads might demonstrate products that
cause health problems including, fast food advertising. Another issue is the
advertisements may affect an environment, or they may cause economic problems.
Not only that, the ads might give us wrong information. The advertisements may
provide good information to us, but the information may be not true. It means
that it may give us false facts. Take, for example, if someone sees a medical
ad that may provide wrong information, she or he will follow that medical
advice that may affect their general health.
In
conclusion, actually advertisements have drawbacks such as it impacts on
children, and it deceives customers. When people understand advertisements
better, they will face disadvantages; as a result, they will feel comfortable
because they will be conscious about negative and positive sides of
advertisements.
