as a negative social impact.This essay will discuss both views of this statement and will be given personal opinion of writer.
At the present time there a lot of sources which we can face with adds, such as, TVs, billboards, mobile phones even in meeting. The reason why the ads are widespread is boosting product visibility and encouraging consumers to purchase goods and services, leading to increased sales and profits for businesses. Due to the fact that, if the advertisement is attractive, people will buy the item which was in the add. For example, the ad of Oreo, the advertisement of this cookie pull towards to buy this cookie.
However, the product advertised can often not meet expectations as shown in the ad, leading to dissatisfaction with reality and increased feelings of inadequacy among consumers.
