For example, when you go to the grocery store do you buy products that youve seen or read about? Give examples.As is known to all, angels and evils are poles apart. But is there anything that combines the two perfectly? Some there is-the advertisement. Nowadays, with the growing influence of mass media, advertising invades every aspect of our lives. Whenever we turn on the TV, look through a newspaper, open the mailbox, or surf on the Internet, advertisements would immediately jump into our sight.Advertisement has been called “the voice of business”, for it announces new products and describes new uses and improved features of familiar ones. It seeks to make people know the things they need and to lure them buy these things, and it tells what products or services are on the market, and how they can be obtained. As they make things so attractive, we often end up buying things that we do not really need. The advertisement plays a vital role in the spread-out and flow of goods. It puts up a bridge between factories or companies and shops, or stores and customers. Either side of them has no difficulty in finding cooperative partners.Advertising not only adds to the price of the goods, thus harming the consumers interest, but also imposes a kind of materialistic value upon the audience. But that is only part of the story-advertisements are informative as well as persuasive. They provide us with up-to-date information about the latest products. Some advertisements are so elegantly presented that we are inspired or even moved. No matter it is an evil or an angel, advertisement has become an indispensable part of our modern life. Advertisements lead to improving products by stimulating competition. Through advertisements, companies selling the same or similar products try to win each other for the attention of the buyers. The competition forces companies to improve their products so that people will buy them. Advertisements can also lower the prices of products by creating the mass demand, or mass markets that help support mass production. Mass production lowers the costs of manufacturing, and then the manufacturer can lower his selling prices. As a result, customers will buy commodities at cheap prices.I can respond definitely that no one can escape the influence from the all kinds of advertisements. Ads have so many different forms, and we have to be influenced by them in our daily life. For example, we will not buy something we have never heard, we will not travel to someplace we never heard. Even though someone disagrees they can be affected by ads. They also are led by them in every aspect of life. The influence of the commercial is huge. We are inevitably dominated by them regardless of your attitude. I usually choose some world-renowned brands goods like cosmetics. Its convenient for us to know the new products.Whether we admit or not, we are all influenced by ads more or less. However, ads can be sorted into many kinds. Excellent ads give us a beautiful sight of the product and promise the good quality of it, while the opposite ones just keep on broadcasting again and again until you get turned off whenever you see them. Im definitely chosen to be affected of the ads. I watch ads and enjoy the artistic of some of them and select useful information. The ad of Dove chocolate is my nieces favorite, she is 6 years old. Most of the time, I buy things on the judgment of myself, but I cant tell in some way whether Im influenced by them. For at times when I took the products home, I really regret that how I can get such things in such a high prices!Actually, advertising affects my purchasing much, comparing with those commodity without propagating by media, especially those daily necessity, quality is very important, I would rather choose the goods introduced by ads, even though ads may exaggerate its advantage and avoid to mention its shortness.I like watching TV very much since childhood. Though I am bored at ads appearing now and then when you are enjoying a nice program, I put up with them at first. Later I began to like some of them which look very interesting and instructive. Usually, I prefer to buy the products that often be advertised because I feel it is authentic. In fact, many people around me have the same notion. That is to see, advertising is necessary for a product. I dont like the ads except those creative ones on authoritative channels such as CCTV; they always give you a good seeing. In my opinion, the goods ads on CCTV often have good qualities .The manufactory always have strength in economy. If there are two kinds of goods, I will buy the things have ads.I am the person who is easily influenced by ads, especially the ads about cosmetics. During I see the TV series; I am usually not patient at those ads and have no interests at all. However, when I am at a good mood, I enjoy some excellent ads, like Olay products are always showed by beauties. Some ads really influence me. For instance, shampoos that I use are often the products with many ads. Id like to use them one after one, and then to decide which is better. I almost dont use shampoo which isnt showed in ads. Others are like toothpaste, lipstick, cream.so many! You know everyone wants to be glorious among people, so the so-called shortcut is to use some cosmetics to do some makeup. It is known that almost every cosmetics product will invite some pretty superstar to be the brand ambassador.It seems that if you want to be as beautiful as she is, you must use the sort of products. What Stupid thoughts it is! But I am this kind of people who easily lured by ads.Some people are really cheated by the TV commercial ads, they spent lots of money to buy some products, and the functions of these products are exaggerated or even have some bad effects. I think the TV channel should be responsible for the ads they are broadcastingThe regulation of ads should be strengthened as soon as possible, because there are so many false ads hurting people. You know, the ad of Chang Jiang Hospital in Shanghai was very popular at my hometowns TV stations. But the recent event really hurt people. Some trusted it so much, even without doubt through the ad. Maybe it was due to the hospital, while how about the TV station and how about the monitoring unit, how about the legislative committee? .It is hard to say ads are good or bad. For ads provide abundant information for us. It did bring great influence to our life. However, we need enough knowledge and rationality to select the appropriate one.
