Advertising aimed at children is increasing. Some people think this has negative effects and should be controlled. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, the impact of advertising aimed at children is rising and has been a major public concern. Some people suggest that this type of advertising should be effectively controlled. Personally, I do think this is a practical or wise thinking. Since majority of children lack faculty of judgment whilst they are making up their minds on what merchandise they should buy, gorgeous advertising may lead to the unnecessary consumption. Also, an increasing number of advertising companies produce advertisements with actors, singers and comperes whom children admire, to some extent, these advertisements will attract children to buy goods without enough consideration.

What is more, most advertisements on TV and computer screen look attractive and tasteful, yet most children have no consuming capacity. It must be admitted that desire of purchasing may force children to commit a crime. For instance, a child offender who was arrested in a cell phone store stole much money from classmates to buy a smart mobile phone that he saw in advertising, a report said.

In addition to that, too much concentration on advertising will surely distract children’s attention from various aspects that they should have focused on, such as education, reading and physical training, which can not only help them do analysis from objective perspective, but enable them to lay a solid foundation to bright future as well.

To sum up, controlling the advertising aimed at children indeed makes sense as almost all the influence it brings to children is damaging and negative.
