Both the article and lecture discuss the effect of advertisements. While the article's author says that advertisements have a benefit both the individual and nations, the speaker claims that advertisements have a negative effect on an individual and nations.
The article's author insists that advertisements are informational because it could convey beneficial information that where they can be found and how to use them. Debating this point, the speaker argues that an advertisement offers many people a miss information. An advertisement cause lots of people to buy unnecessary goods and it leads consumers to desire unnecessary things.
According to the article, advertisements have a social benefit. It allow the population to have cheap, or even free access to certain media such as television, radio and newspaper. However, the speaker challenges this assertion, saying that advertisements lead many people to spend more money to watch the athletic games. In other words, if people watched the Superball game at home through the television, it is free. But, they watched the Superball game at the stadium, they should pay about two-hundred dollars. An advertisement cause many people to spend money.
Third, the speaker points out that an advertisement should stress consume only. An advertisement always stress spending money repeat. They could not stress saving money. Only stress for spending money hardly help domestic economy. This contradicts the article's assertion that advertisement are good for domestic economy.
