问题     Although one might not think so from some of the criticism of it, advertising is essential to the kind of society in which people in the United Kingdom, and a very large part of the world at large, live. Advertising is necessary as a means of communicating with others. It is also a way of telling people about the goods and services that are offered. If it were not for advertising, some goods information would never reach the ears of many people. Advertising helps a great deal to raise the people’s standard of living.
    In talking about advertising, one should not think only in terms of commercial on television, or an advertisement in the newspapers or periodicals. In its widest sense, advertising includes many other activities such as packaging, shop displays and even the spoken word of the salesman. After all, the roots of advertising are to be found in the market place.
    For many years it was thought that it was enough to produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that it has become increasingly understood that the production of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price within a reasonable time span. In the competitive society in which we live, it is essential that we go out and sell what we have to offer, and advertising plays an important role in this respect, whether selling at home or in export markets.
    About 2 percent of the U.K. gross national product is spent on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Of course, advertising does try to attract the interest of the potential consumer, but if the article purchased does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously unlikely that the article will sell well.
______ As a means of communications, advertising tells people the products and services being offered.
