145. Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things we really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Accompanying the speedy growing up of economy, advertising also gets to creep into every tiny corner of our lives, on transportational vehicles, high buildings and so on, let alone traditional television and radio advertising. Some people believe they are misleading us to lavish our money on unnecessities. Admittedly, advertising is indeed very attractive and often allures us to buy the products. However, I think advertising plays a more important role in bettering our lives.

First of all, through the abundance of advertising, we are better informed of the quality and traits of such a good variety of products. The government/s regulation also ensures that most of the information we receive from advertising is not fallable. With the information, we are in a better position to judge and choose the most suitable products for our lives.

Apart from that, advertising also gives us many tips on how to improve our lives. For example, some advertisements of toothbrush may advise us that we need to change our toothbrush every 3 month to keep off bacteria on it. These tips or advises are usually based on scientific research and acknowledged by professionals. It indeed does good for our health and safety.

Last but not least, since nowadays advertisements are increasingly creative and aesthetic, we can also get inspirations from them. One good example is advertising of IKEA. The advertising is presented to us through their own ideas of house decoration. I am confident that many customers who watch their brochures get attracted, excited and brightened by those creative adornment and arrangement.

Although advertising may have some negative effects since we may easily lured to buy commodities we do not need, I still believe advertising is a good aid in upgrading our lives thanks to its generous offering of information, kind and scientific advise, and creative and inspiring ideas. The key is that we need learn to filter the information and make wise decision of what we really need and what fits our lives.
