Advertising has long become part of our daily lives, with a wide range of advertisements appearing in public places or on social media. However, some people argue that it is rather pointless and even harmful, and thus there should be a comprehensive prohibition of advertising in all forms for a society to thrive. In my view, I partly agree with this proposal.
It could be argued that some forms of advertising can be generally detrimental. To begin with, some adverts can manipulate customers into making impulsive purchases by deliberately presenting overly fabulous pictures of a particular product compared to its real appearance. Several commercials even include false descriptions in order to appeal to customers. In addition, it is rather inevitable that inappropriate advertisements with sexually explicit content appear on television or other forms of modern media, and they could eventually reach the younger audience who are most vulnerable to this. Thus, advertising can have negative impacts on us as a society.
Nevertheless, banning all forms of advertising would yield dire consequences for our society. First, although some adverts can be misleading and sexually sensitive, there are still many good ones that are of great help for customers. In fact, they play a key role in demonstrating key features of a product, thus enabling us to know whether it suits us best. Without this, it is easy to get lost among thousands of products and eventually spend our money unwisely.
Moreover, once commercials, by law, undergo a prohibitive order, sales can decline dramatically as they have long been considered to be a useful way to attract customers and generate profits for a business. This would become worse when the government has to step in to bail the company out by providing temporary financial support, both for the industry and the people relying on it as a source of income. In other words, banning all forms of commercial communication could drag down the whole economy and put a great deal of pressure on the authorities. Clearly, such a proposal would do harm to both customers and society as a whole.
In conclusion, although some advertisements are manipulative and misleading, banning all forms would lead to reverse and undesired implications on society. I personally believe that as adverts are here to stay, other measures, such as imposing stricter punishments on companies that employ inappropriate content to appeal to customers, are much more efficient.
