托福作文:
The whole point of advertising is to encourage us to buy things we don't need. Advertisers are in the business of making money of themselves and their clients. If they manage to sell us something that's good for us too, that's fine. But their primary goal is profit.
It begins when we're children. Saturday morning children's television is full of commercials. Over and over again, children see images of toys and games. They see other children who are having the time of their lives. They watch these children and get the message that if they want to have that much fun, they need to buy those things. Thus, at a very early age, we're introduced to two ideas: that we want to be like everyone else, and we want to have what everyone else has.
This continues throughout our lives. We spend a lot of our money trying to keep up with our neighbors. We buy the latest model cars, have all the latest gadgets in our homes, and live a lifestyle beyond our budgets. Advertising encourages us to define ourselves by what we own rather than by who we are. It encourages a competition of false values and shallow measurements of what matters in our lives.
Advertising can be damaging. However, it is also one of the ways in which our economy keeps growing. People need to buy products in order for other people to have jobs manufacturing, transporting and selling those products. Advertising also keeps us informed about new products that may actually help us in some way. For these reasons, you could say advertising is a necessary evil.
广告的目的是鼓励我们买一些我们不需要的东西。广告商的生意赚钱自己和他们的客户。如果他们能卖给我们的东西对我们有益也很好。但是他们的主要目标是利润。
当我们的孩子开始。星期六早上儿童电视广告。一遍又一遍,孩子看到玩具和游戏的图像。他们看到其他孩子正经历的时候他们的生活。他们看着这些孩子,得到他们想要的消息,如果有那么多乐趣,他们需要买这些东西。因此,在很早的时候,我们引入两个概念:我们想要和其他人一样,我们想要别人有什么。
这贯穿我们的`生活。我们花了很多钱试图跟上我们的邻居。我们买最新的模型汽车,有所有最新的小玩意在家里,生活超出了我们的预算。广告鼓励我们定义我们自己,我们自己的而不是我们是谁。它鼓励竞争的错误的价值观和浅测量重要的在我们的生活中。
广告可能是有害的。然而,这也是我们经济持续增长的方式之一。人们需要买产品为了让别人有工作生产、运输和销售这些产品。广告也让我们了解新产品,实际上可能在某些方面帮助我们。由于这些原因,可以说广告是一个必要的邪恶。
