Now day advertisement surrounds us everywhere, it became a part of human’s life, because it takes so much of our attention even if we don’t mention it.  We can’t avoid it, in the Internet, on the TV, in the street, in the bus, even inside the box of eggs, we face with it constantly. Each person has his or her own opinion on that problem and I’ve got mine.

 From my point of view, people don’t need advertisement at all, this brainwashing clogs human’s mind. Why do I have this categorical point of view? One book “99 Francs” of famous French writer Frederic Beigbeder had a great affect on me, it has opened my eyes. The main hero of that book and in the movie, which is based on it, is a booster who works in a very famous advertising company and earns good money. But he had disappointed in a job of his life and showed the truth of “dream world”. In advertisement everything is better then in reality, women are prettier, grass is greener, pools are bigger, families are happier. We’re ready to buy things that they offer to us, but they deceive us, because if we buy that thing we won’t look the same as that beautiful girl in a new car. For the development of the advertising industry every year are spent more than 500 billion dollars. UN conducted a research and considered that 10% of this amount was enough to cut hunger in half on Earth. After those words you don’t want to watch any advertisement. Even V. Nabokov said that advertisement is  vulgarity. And I can’t say something wrong to the words of the grate classical writer. And doesn’t matter if it attractive, original and colorful.

But nevertheless advertisement exists and it becomes more popular with each day. In France there is a good quote which shows it essence: ”Advertisement is a soul of trade”. I agree with it or in case for what is it? People have a quickly choice. We just can turn the TV and see what the most modern mobile phone or perfume, the newest blockbuster or book of a popular writer is. We can see everything we need. We go to the shops, looking for that thing (which tomorrow comes old and unfashionable) to satisfy our desire. Of course, with advertisement our life is much easier - that’s one point in favour of it. Also a lot of people who work in the public relationship or industry sphere earn very good money and I think only they have all benefits from the advertisement, that makes them be powerful in  the world.    

In the conclusion, I would like to say that advertisement is the means to make people need what they have never heard about. Do I need advertisement?  No. Do you need it? You decide.
