No one can avoid being influenced by advertisement. Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts a subtle influence on us.
Modern advertising typically bombards the public with slogans and testimonials by celebrities. This approach is designed to appeal the emotions and create artificial needs for products and services.
To be honest, I don't like advertisements. Yes, Ads do offer us some useful information, but for the most part, they are aiming to persuade people to buy this or that. We can see advertisements almost everywhere every day, printed on newspapers, magazines and running buses, displayed on TV, radio and internet. Also, it's really annoying to be interrupted by telephone marketing calls.
But what I hate most is the advertisements aimed at children. There are many advertisements encourage children to buy toys, snacks even games. I think such kind of ads should be restricted or banned. For example, being influenced by advertisements, some children like eating fast food, some children fancy expensive toys, which may pose a threat to their health and life.
On the other hand, there are many commercials selling books, videos of educational value, organic food, which provide more options and information for public. In a word, I suggest more strict control on advertisements.
