It helps a person learn what is new or in style or handy to have around, what things cost, and where to buy them. To use this information effectively, however, a person must learn to look past the emotional appeals and find the facts. Along with the rapid progress of society, the advertising industry has undergone remarkable development. Every day we are surrounded by all kinds of ads and commercials that have a profound influence on our daily lives. As a result, there arises a fierce debate concerning the proposal that we should ban all kinds of advertisements. There are people on both sides of the argument who have very strong feelings. On one hand, some people think that advertisement should not be banned but instead should be further developed. They are of the opinion that advertisements are a good channel which help promote the exchange of information. In the era of information, everyone can benefit a lot from the advertisements, not only the manufacturers but also the customers. Moreover, advertisements enable people to catch up with amazing advances in all fields. From advertisements people learn about new products and the trend of consumption. Thirdly, advertising is to some extent not only an industry but an art. Many advertisements are works of art full of ingenuity and originality, which bring great pleasure to viewers and add to the city scape. In a word, such advertisements are a blessing to modern people. On the other hand, despite the benefits advertisements have brought us, many people strongly condemn them, saying that they are fed up with rubbish ads. They call for a comprehensive ban on advertisements based on the following reasons. First of all, the majority of advertisements are fictitious and misleading, causing confusion in people’s daily lives and even leading to the injury and death of some customers. Secondly, they can be very inconvenient and troublesome. For example, are you pleased with a mailbox stuffed with unwanted ads or a wonderful film on TV being frequently interrupted? Furthermore, the nonstandard use of language in advertisement brings about irreparable damage to the purity of our language. Consequently, it might eventually affect the literacy of younger generations. Sample 2 : With the rapid development of society and our economy, advertisements are playing an increasingly significant role in people’s everyday lives. Everywhere people go, a voice in their cars says:"Buy me. "Some people claim that advertisements have become an indispensable part of modern life. However advertisements also have adverse effects on our lives. Many people suffer a lot from advertisements to such an extent that some of them even put forward the proposal that all advertisements should be banned. Views on this issue vary from person to person. From some people’s point of view, advertisements have produced numerous positive effects on our livers. First of all, manufacturers promote their new products and enhance marketing. Moreover, they introduce a good many new products and new lifestyles to us and help us to keep abreast with the ever accelerated updating of science and technology. Without them, many products would have remained in factories or even in laboratories, unknown to us. Thirdly, some public welfare advertisements arouse public awareness of social issues. Last but not least, some advertisements are of high artistic value with vivid pictures and witty language, which offer us great visual and audio enjoyment and enlightenment. A modern world without advertisements is truly unimaginable. Many others, however, take quite a different attitude towards advertisements. Despite their merits, advertisements also have adverse impacts on people’s daily lives. To begin with many advertisements are exaggerated, misleading and false, full of flowery words and traps. Many innocent people are reported to have fallen victim to false advertisements and spent their hard-earned money on white elephants. Secondly, they have a far-reaching negative effect on the development of the younger generation. Young people are easily persuaded to take up the habit of conspicuous consumption. Some advertisements are irritating disturbances. For example, while watching TV programmes, we are constantly interrupted by commercials, which to a great extent spoil our pleasure. Even worse is that the cost of advertisements is often transferred onto the customers. Obviously advertisements, like everything else, have more than one face. Their advantages should not hide their drawbacks from us. To my mind, to ban advertisements is not a practical idea but a radical one. What we should do is to make sure that their strengths are enhanced while their weaknesses are discarded. Our government should lay down more effective laws and regulations and exercise more rigid control and supervision over the advertising industry.
