範文：
In modern society, the ubiquity of advertising is not only driven by corporations searching for new ways to sell products but also by media searching for new ways to make money. Consequently, advertisements become increasingly powerful while shaping people’s life by manipulating thoughts.
Admittedly, the advocators of ads hold that they provide useful information of products and help consumers make wise decisions. Usually, it is from advertisements that people get to know the performance and the function of a new product, like a newly launched electronic device and a upgraded automobile. Through watching advertisements of different brands, consumers can make comparison and find which product suits them best.
However, with the constant improvement of advertising skills, the role of advertisements in modern society is not limited to decision making helpers. What people complain most about advertisements is the over emphasis on materialism. To sell more products, companies make every effort to persuade consumers that they deserve a better life depicted in advertisements and realized by the products. Consequently, people might easily get hooked: work hard to make money and then spend money on commodities that advertisers tell them are important to have a happy life, failing to discern what a happy life truly is.
Moreover, people also blame advertisements for distorting people’s concept on beauty. We can hardly find any advertisements whose actors or actresses are fat. With almost no exception, figures presented in ads are slim and good looking, especially for brands of clothes and cosmetics. They set a unrealistic high standard on beauty that is difficult to meet for most common people. But, the ads skillfully make people believe their appearance will be improved dramatically with their products, which is usually not true. As a result, a growing number of people waste much money and become even more self-conscious on their looks.
To sum up, there is much to blame on advertisements’ negative impact on society, as they encourage materialism and mislead people’s minds on beauty.
People nowadays are surrounded by all kinds of advertising. Advertising affects what people think is important and sometimes has a negative influence on people’s lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
