There are many reasons for both sides of the question, "Should we have printed
advertisement'?" Many people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing more than
useless junk mail, while other people feel it is important source information.

There are some reasons why we should have advertisement in newspaper and
magazines. One reason is ads give us information about what is available. Looking at ads we
can find out what is on sale and what is new in the market. This is an easy way of shopping.
Another reason is that advertisement promotes business. When shop owners compete against
each other the buyer saves money, more people come to their shops and they sell more
goods.

On the other hand, some people argue that ads should not be put in newspapers and
magazines for these various reasons. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of money to print
onto paper. Also some people don't like finding junk mail in their letter boxes. Ads also
influence people to buy items they don't need and can't really afford. Ads use up a lot of
space and a lot of effort has to be made the ads eye-catching.
