-Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things that we really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The follow topic to discuss is very interesting being that we are in the era of communication we are exposed to receive a shower of incessant information through images, so advertisements create us needs and so they make up a wrong or fake concept of happiness, due to that we identify ourselves with objects, likely we are the car that we've got , the house where we live or the shoes that we wear. Again we get to an existentialism point, are we living in an illusion that enriches the enterprise system?...I don't have the answer but what is true is that overproduction of items caused planet's resources to waste away faster .

They are few point of view in this case worth to go through , firstly let's analyse the way how the factories , companies and medias work ; advertisements make people desire things and then need to buy them to the companies therefore factories increase item's production, more and more .

Even if we would want to live outside the system still we will be trapped.We are not free to decide what are our real needs, as a result of this we buy anything that we believe might make us happy, without forgetting that is for a very short period of time, albeit there is an unmeasured extracting of resources from the planet.

In conclusion, we get to the point that the economic system where we live doesn't care or pay attention to the real needs of the planet Earth, in this instance people is too busy trying to survive economically , filling the gap with products, in a coax society , we are trapped in a consumer system difficult to find the way out, Although always is the hope of people gain awareness of this fact and so , who knows , change the system . Is the future in our hands? Or is it in the monetary system's
