Since technology has been developed greatly, our lives have been developed at the same time. And our improved and developed lives had derived the advent of advertisement. Nowadays, advertisement takes big part of our lives through television and computer, which are one of the most important products of technology. Some people believe that advertisement gives us many negative effects like it urges us to do overconsumption. I agree this, but I think the benefits of advertisement can overweigh the damage. This is because of its usefulness to provide us information, the importance of consuming and because products can improve our lives. First of all, advertisement gives us enormous information. As I mentioned before, advertisement can affect our lives really lot. So we can know the information that we have not known before. Even though some people contradicts that it contains a lot of false and exaggeration, major part are the truth because it is judged by public organization. Therefore, by watching advertisement, we can get some informations that can let us buy something. Secondly, advertisement incites us to buy the products. Some people think that it is not good phenomenon. But in economics, consuming is important as saving. This is because if we just save our money, company will lose money and fire employees. Then we will face the depression and it gradually lower our lives. Thus, the proper spending, which is mainly led by advertisement, is important to our society. Last, it is obvious that products can improve our lives. For instance, computer and television improved our lives immensely and these are also got fame by advertisement. Hence, we can affirm that advertisement can better our lives. |
