In recent years, more and more advertisements have been flooding into our
lives. Some advertisements exert negative effects on the youth. Therefore some
people suggest that advertisements be banned. Do you agree or disagree with
this? Give your reasons.
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, which 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.
On one hand, some people are in favor of the idea that advertisement should
not be banned; instead it should be further developed. They are of the opinion
that advertisement is a good channel which helps promote the exchanges of
information. In an era of information, everyone can benefit a lot from the
advertisements, not only the manufacturers but the customers. Moreover, the
advertisement enables people to catch up with the amazing advance in all fields.
From the mushrooming advertisements, people get to know some newest products and
the trend of consumption. Thirdly, advertising, to some extent, is not only an
industry but an art. Many advertisements are elaborate works of art full of
ingenuity and originality, which render great spiritual pleasure to the viewers
and add to the picturesque cityscape. In a word, the advertisement is a blessing
for modern people.
Despite the benefits advertisement has brought us, many people strongly
condemn it, saying that they have been fed up with all kinds of rubbish ads.
They call for a comprehensive ban on the advertisement based on the following
reasons. First of all, a majority of advertisements are fictitious and
misleading, causing confusion in people’s daily life and even leading to the
injury and death of some customers. Secondly, they bring many inconveniences and
troubles to us. For example, are you pleased with a mailbox stuffed with
unwanted ads or a wonderful film on TV being interrupted frequently?
Furthermore, the non-standard use of language in advertisement brings about
irreparable damage to the integrity and purity of our language. Consequently, it
will exert a disastrous impact on the literacy of our younger generations. In
some people’s eyes, the advertisement is just a Genie out of the bottle.
To be frank, it is quite impossible for people to reach an absolute
consensus on most controversial issues. To my mind, a total ban on advertisement
is not an ideal and practical choice. How can we imagine all advertisements
vanishing overnight? The demerits should by no means make us lose sight of the
benefits advertisements have brought to us. A more workable and rational
attitude should be adopted; that is, to eliminate the false and retain the true.
Always bear in mind the old saying:“never throw away the baby with bath
water.”
