You should spend 40 minutes on this task. Write at least 250 words.
Society would benefit from a ban of all forms of advertising because it serves no useful purpose, and can even be dangerous. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Include reasons for your answers and relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.
Paragraph 1. Introduction (Time: 5 min. words: 55- 60)
Owing to the increased growth of science and technology, advertising has become universal; however, it is often argued that it should be banned because adverts are useless and even hazardous. (Paraphrase). In this essay, I totally disagree with the notion because in my opinion, despite a few minor demerits, commercials are not only beneficial but also necessary. (Thesis)
Paragraph 2. BP 1 (Time: 10 min. Words: 65- 70)
To embark on, there are several ways how advertising plays a crucial role in the society and why it can not be ignored. (Argument 1) Firstly, it is a major industry offering employment opportunities to hundreds of thousands of people, and any ban on advertising will result in huge unemployment. Secondly, the very existence of businesses depends exclusively on adverts. If advertising is banned, it can result in the untimely death of all manufacturing units, (Reasons). For example, any such ban on advertising will end up in closure of manufacturing and marketing sectors. (Example) Thus, any steps to ban advertising can have far reaching consequences. (Conclusion BP1)
Paragraph 3. BP 2 (Time: 10 min. Words: 65-70)
Furthermore, advertising plays a significant role in the social, healthcare and commerce. (Argument2). Moreover, Governments use advertising as a medium of communication in transferring information to the public, to create awareness and educate them on certain issues through a series of campaigns. (Reasons) For instance, during the Covid 19 pandemic advertisements played no small part in spreading Covid awareness. adverts on national pulse immunisation program, female feticides, child marriage and so on had a large scale impact on the society. (Example). Hence, a sweeping ban on advertising can cause more harm than good. (Conclusion BP 2)
Paragraph 4 Conclusion (Time: 5 min Words: 55-60)
To conclude, even though advertising is not free from flaws, its significance can not be belittled. Therefore, I totally disagree with the statement that advertising should be banned.
