It is a creative industry which employs thousands of people. Some people believe that advertisements encourage people to buy products more than they need. Other argue that advertisements inform us about new products which we don't know about. In this essay, I will discuss both sides of view and provide my support for the latter one. Companies need to tell us about their product and advertising is a creative way to do that, because many people enjoy watching adverts. Furthermore, advertisement tell us about our choices. If there are no advertisement, we will spend more time searching for products which cover our needs and make our life easier. However, many people have solids reasons against advertising.

As a result, we live in a consumer culture and the advertisers exploit this to increase their selling and make more profits. In conclusion, although advertisers focus on showing our needs to market their product, they use ome unethecal ways to persude us to buy products more than our need.
