Advertisement
Advertisements have become a must for today’s business world and even the decisive factor towards the business activities. But they are sometimes wrongly used at the expenses of consumers, too.
Advertisements are getting their way into people’s lives. People heavily depend on advertising for the choice of their daily necessities and other commodities(商品) while manufacturers make their products publicly known through advertising.
There are many ways to advertise and advertisements come in different forms. Newspapers carry advertisements. Some products are announced on TV and the radio. Billboards also carry advertisements and advertising is a big industry now. However, advertisements are not always truthful. A product is often misrepresented. The advertiser exaggerates(夸张；夸大) the benefits of the merchandise(商品) he wants to sell. Thus, he misrepresents the truth. The consumer falls with victim to such advertisements. Millions of people have bought advertised products that they haven’t always been satisfied with.
Personally/In my opinion, there are advantages and disadvantages to advertisements. The emphases should be laid on the establishment (建立；建起) of laws and regulations so that the consumers’ rights can be guaranteed.
