Essay topics:

Consumers are faced with increasing numbers of
advertisements from competing companies. To what
extent do you think consumers are influenced by
advertisements? What measures can be taken to protect
them?

As competition among companies becomes
fiercer, consumers today may find themselves
bombarded with a barrage of advertisements
from businesses trying to promote their
products to the general public. In this essay, I
will demonstrate how excessive exposure to
commercials may trigger impulse buying
before suggesting some of the ways in which
governments can mitigate the detrimental
impacts of advertising.

The harms that advertisements may do to
people are definite.The allure of the vivid
graphics and imageries often found in adverts
may sway customers to purchase the products
being promoted,even when they have no real
need for them. This is reinforced by celebrity
endorsements, which usually have a dramatic
influence on people wanting to imitate their
idols. As a consequence, people who watch too
many advertisements generally end up with
items that they may eventually have to
discard, resulting in a waste of money.The
iPhone covers eing sold in Vietnam perfectly
exemplify this situation. Their adverts, which
feature prominent pop stars, can be found
positioned on the side panels of most websites
in Vietnam. People who visit these pages often
cannon resist the urge to replace their phone
covers with the latest models and waste
money on a product that would be of little
value to them.

In order to help consumers make more
informed purchasing decisions,governments
can adopt some of the following solutions.
First and foremost, they need to exercise
censorship on all advertisements. Rigorous
content check must be carried out prior to the
publishing of a commercial to ensure the
description ofa product accurately reflects its
actual quality. In addition, there should be a
limit on the number of platforms on which a
company is permitted to market their
products. This would effectively safeguard
consumers against information overload and
help them avoid making wasteful purchases.

In conclusion, people who view too many
advertisements may be lured into buying
unnecessary things, and the proposed steps
should be taken to mitigate this influence of
advertising.
