Advantages And Disadvantages Of Advertisement

Advertisement: Good or Bad?! Lights, variety of colors and rants - today 's adds are familiar with astonishing colors and slogans. Almost every corner is proposing both useful and entertainment material, medicine, clothing or music concerts to name a few. However, people think that advertisement business went to deep inside our social life. More and more complains are being expressed since large corporations started war of adds. TV commercials, radio, street bulletins, newspapers and magazines, even sport facilities to name a few, are main fields to find an add. Usually, ads promote goods and services to make people buy, while sometimes we can find it giving information about special events such as concerts, city events or even political information.
