Some people think that advertising has only positive impacts on society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Advertising has been exerting great impacts on our society and our everyday lives, far beyond our wildest imagination. It might be over-simplistic to say that such impacts are all for the good or in our best interest. Let us get down to the fundamentals and admit that advertisements are created by human beings. Therefore they cannot be perfect since we are not.

Admittedly, there are numerous merits of advertising in modern society. It provides necessary and affluent information of the products we are looking for. It greatly expands our horizons through a mixed method of multi-media technology and creativity thus, enlightening our lives from heavy work stress or household chores. Last but not the least, advertising has been widely recognized as a kind of arts and some great advertisements are even exhibited in the galleries or museums. However, all those mentioned does not justify the demerits of advertising. I only need to illustrate two main drawbacks.. The foremost one is the problem of credibility. These days though

thousands of advertisements are created,, their integrity is still in question. It is self-evident that each advertisement is more or less exaggerated in order to attract more potential customers and enhance the sales of products. The customers can easily be frustrated by the astounding

differences between expectations of the product after seeing the advertisement and the real one they bought home. As a result, they gradually lose belief in every advertisement. This is partly if not entirely, attributed to the misleading or false presentation of the advertisements.

The second drawback is that advertising leads to a waste of social and environmental resources. Many advertisements, especially those for luxury goods or clothes, are prone to them to imitate the same way of living by purchasing unnecessary and useless luxury goods such least government could take some steps against the negative impacts. For example, unrealistic and misleading advertisements should be banned immediately.

1 Only governments and large companies can make a difference in environmental protection. Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

With required funds and techniques, authorities and corporations have been viewed as the foundation for environment preservation. Accordingly, some claim that the limited strength of single individualsin face of all kinds of pollutionis worthless to mention. From my perspective, the contribution of citizens to the establishment ofan environmental-friendly world is justified.

Obviously, it would be capable of a personto produce as less garbage as possible. Due to overpackaging and indifference to resource saving, immense household wastesare daily generated. A typical example is the proliferation of plastic bags, which drain the soil and are hard to dissolve. This man-made disaster is supposed to be under control if everyone turns to make the best use of paper shoppingbags instead of disposable plastic ones.

Besidesthe above-mentioned reduction, we can also engage in garbage collection. Classification is essential as it not only facilitates the recycle of renewable materials like cullet, but also lowers the risk of permanent land pollution from heavy-metal contaminants, say, one-off dry batteries.It is encouraging in many developed countries today that citizens have already set out to sort and segregate waste at the source with differing bins.

In spite of the personal contribution, individuals are still irreplaceable of the role governments and the industrial circle play in fighting against contamination. For instance, statesserve as the determinant as they provide basic research with sufficient funds, while large companies are held liable to reduce emissions through technical upgrade. Although these countless valuable purposes are undeniable, to recognise individual power as vain attempts is somewhat rootless.

To summarise, without suggesting the governmental and corporation’sdevotionis insignificant, individuals can indeedcommit themselves to environmental progress.
