Agree or disagree: Advertising has a negative influence on society.

This is an interesting topic; depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, advertising sometimes have a negative impact on society. Now let me explain the details.     

Advertising has some disadvantages: first, it often promotes harmful substances, such as alcohol and tobacco. This can influence young people to try these products, which can harm their health and academic performance. Second, some ads often spread “false,” “exaggerated,” and “misleading” information about their products and services, so often have negative impact on people’s purchasing behavior.     

Next, I understand some may argue that advertisements just show their product information, but young people are also naïve consumers. That’s why the media have guidelines about ads to provide. But as it is, those rules aren’t enough in many cases.           

In conclusion, while advertisements have useful information, we cannot simply assume that they are good or bad. Finding a balance between its usefulness and harmfulness is an important yet challenging matter. So, we must carefully examine them to find out an optimal approach. Thank you for your attention.
