Topic: Advertising encourages consumers to buy in quantity rather than promoting quality. To what extent do you agree or disagree？
---------------------------------------------------------------
There is a heated debate on the functions of advertising. I agree that the advertisers should persuade consumers to buy things with high quality instead of quantity.
Advertisers usually recruit high-profiled people to promote their products, in order to make people purchase their products as many as possible. People who like these idols tend to buy things they don't need. For example, many Chinese people are crazy about Korean idols and these crazy crazed fans may purchase everything that has their printed idols photos. As a result, they buy a lot of useless products because of those the advertising.
Advertisements often overstate the function of their product, which promote convinces people to purchase these kinds of products. It is not uncommon that most for people are likely to believe the effectiveness of their products portrayed in advertisements. This particularly happens to elderly people, who are easily convinced to buy some expensive health products. Thus, people fall in the trap set by advertisers again and again.
On the other hand, some advertisements will provide people with a large amounts of information and enable consumers to make a rational decision in purchasing. People isare able to compare various information about different products and choose what they need the most. Take online shopping for example, people who do shopping online are willing to believe the stores with adequate information. It is good for people that they will not buy unnecessary items because of those exaggerated advertisements, and thus product manufactories manufacturers will just try their best to improve their product qualities quality.
In conclusion, advertising advertisers have two methods options to persuade people to buy their products. Staying rational when purchasing a product is very important.
