Today the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion?
Advertisement is a great thing when it meaningfully communicates the positive and productive aspect of a product or a service but the same advertisement becomes a caution when it unnecessarily creates an illusion in the mind of consumer. Yes, of course, advertisement is playing a key role in today’s world in opening the minds of people about the new possibilities of a product or a service.
Both perspectives have their own significance on their own. First, I will honestly express my ideas on how advertisement is proving itself as an asset in mass media. In the world of cut throat competition and in the presence of hundreds of products in the market, a well-designed and properly conveyed advertisement reflects the plus points of a product for that it is designed.
Moreover, advertisement is great in case of consumer goods as they are useful in our routine practices and they make us aware about the essential features of goods so that one can take an insightful decision about buying of them.
On the contrary, one cannot deny from the fact that sometime advertisement are far away from reality and they successfully create an illusion and misconception. What happens is, people are emotionally charged and pumped up to but things that they actually do not need at all. Most of the people automatically get caught in the creative trap of massive and repeated ad commercials. It is true, up to certain extent, advertisements are forcing people to buy or creating a false need among consumers and they start feeling like they must need this and without the purchase of this their life is incomplete.                  
Both aspects are vital to consider, but meaningful part is advertisement empowers the customers when they communicate productively and meaningfully about a product or a service.
