The Problem with advertising
In our society, advertising
plays the key role for excessive buying. The ads that our media presents urge
people to buy products of a particular brand. The companies that make the stuff
we buy have a strategy: They advertise the things that are not our needs. There is no need to advertise for our needs! We have to get our needs, no matter what.
They mainly advertise for our wants our secondary needs in the papers and T.V.
The companies do their best to make their ads flashy. They
include people like film stars, cricketers, doctors, scientists, cartoon
characters and statements, music and actions, anything that would appeal to
their targeted customers.
Advertising is simply
a trap. They get us in their cycle only to earn money. Often, we fall in to their
trap of the ads and buy the unnecessary stuff. Their job is to get their stuff
sold, while our job is to prevent ourselves from buying them. Though what we really do, is buy their stuff. Whenever we go to the supermarket,
we fill our trolleys with all the food, drinks, clothes, shoes and accessories advertised
on T.V.
We rarely think about it, but we do have to answer for the excessive buying that we do without
thinking. And for that, we need to be
courageous enough to see through the ads, and buy what we need.
