Opinion on AdvertisementAs is known to all, angels and evils are poles apart.
But is there anything that combines the two perfectly? Some there is-the
advertisement. 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. As they make things so attractive, we often end up buying things
that we do not really need. Advertising not only adds to the price of the goods,
thus harming the consumer's 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.
