Cosmetics companies and clothing businesses have exerted great endeavor

With myriads of kinds of commercials, customers have a wide range of selections, making them become different rather than
identical.
范文：
It is said that advertising is so influential that it persuades people to become similar with
each other. I believe this statement is slightly overstated.
Admittedly, cosmetics companies and clothing businesses have exerted great endeavor to brainwash consumers to accept similar appearances as being fashionable. For example,
it is widely acknowledged in eastern Asia that a light skin tone is superior to a dark one. Therefore, women from China and Korea would buy extravagant cosmetic products to
whiten their skin. Similarly, when a shirt sells well in one country, people from other countries may line up to purchase the same style because advertisements tell them that
the shirt can turn them into trendy figures.
However, it is unfair to blame advertisements for the popularity of some certain products amongst consumers. For example, using iPhone and other electric devices has
become increasingly popular throughout the world, especially in China by virtue of its
good selling points and designs instead of the commercials. Besides, it is truly less likely
for consumers to make similar choices just due to commercials. By viewing a variety of advertisements broadcasted on TV or billboard, people are informed of different choices
in terms of prices, designs and patterns. They might fine-tune their demand first, comparing the products available on the market, and making wise decisions that satisfy themselves in the end. By contrast, without the advertisement, consumers have no access
to discover their real needs and find the better choice, which might lead to uniformity in
purchasing decisions.
In conclusion, it is the quality of goods rather than their advertisements that attracts consumers. With myriads of kinds of commercials, customers have a wide range of selections, making them become different rather than identical.。
