My View on the Negative Effects of Some Advertisements
Advertisements are getting their way into peoples life. People need advertisements in their daily life because they need to be directed among such an abundant world of commodities. However, not all the commercial advertisements are decent, some of them function as nothing but a liar. They praise the quality or the effects of some products up to the sky, but what they say are actually lies.
There are some advertisements using vulgar words for propaganda. Even some sensational advertisements are gaining their ground now.
The negative effects of such advertisements are obvious. A lot of people had their money taken away because they were attracted by those beautiful words and bought useless rubbish home. Those vulgar advertisements spread a kind of moneyworship and some other unhealthy ideas around us. That is dangerous for peoples soul. Furthermore, those sensational bad advertisements have brought harm to
the growth of our children.
I intensely dislike those unhealthy commercial advertisements. I sincerely wish our government would take some measures to get them out of our life. I also hope our media will not be so moneyconscious, honesty and social justice should always be their focus. |
