Essay - Advertising

Essay - Advertising

Advertising is paid promotion of products and services by the owners of these products and services who want the public to become aware of their products and services and buy or avail of these products and services. In simple words, advertisements are public announcements.

Advertising helps us become aware of various products and services available for public use. It gives us information about new products and services introduced in the market place. In a short while, for example in a television commercial, a company tells us about the products, its USPs (unique selling point), its availability, its price and if any discounts or offers are available. 30 seconds is all the company uses to convey all this information and if the advertising company is creative, they also tell us all this information in a story form to make the viewer more interested and create enough interest to remember the product or service and buy the product when the viewer goes shopping next or use the service when required.

The various forms of advertising are newspapers, television, cinema advertisements, hoarding, handbills, radio jingles, sampling, and the list goes on and on. Every form of advertising has it advantages and disadvantages. The newspaper advertisement is popular as long as an individual is reading it. Once an individual finishes reading the newspaper, the advertisement has lost its value and may not result in any sale or business for the advertiser. To generate interest of the  reader, the newspaper keeps inventing new methods to attract the reader and has alloted specific days of the week to specific business and  services, so Sunday is dedicated to matrimonial advertisements to enable the reader to read the advertisement at leisure, respond to the advertisement and if possible create a matrimonial union between  two people. Hoarding are targeted at motorists and includes just a few basic essentials of the product as the motorist has just a second to register some important information, so these advertisements include big pictures and big text or numbers for instant impact. Sampling allows the customer to   

sample the product, feel it, taste it if the product is a soup or some consumable product. Here the customer actually knows what the customer is buying through sampling. Through every form of advertising the advertiser has only one motive, to register and create interest in the mind of the customer.

Advertising is also a great form of employment, every time a product is advertised, employment of some kind is generated and it helps people to earn a living. Advertising is good for the economy, the taxes paid to the government assist the authorities upkeep the country. Advertising is also used to create social awareness, in recent times the government has used all sorts of advertising mediums to promote cleanliness. Health benefits are advertised for the benefit of the general population. Advertising is the lifeline of any business.

Essay - Should girls be treated on par with boys

Essay - Should girls be treated on par with boys

Children are God’s creation. God made them to be treated equally, though they have specific physical functions, parents should treat both, girls and boys the same.

Man was always the hunter, the provider and the bread winner of the family. His job was to do the outdoor work and the woman was the homemaker. The responsibility of bearing children and taking care of the household work, bringing up the children, cooking meals was the main function of a woman. Both had their responsibilities to shoulder. Even in those times there were some women who broke the mould and did things differently and we have instances of women who have fought battles and done various “manly” activities.

With the advancement of education and technology, women realized the importance of being educated and with further liberalization, women started attending offices and also became equal breadwinners of the family. The women initially took up less burdensome work and became school teachers, clerical posts in banks and government organizations. This employment helped them manage both the home and attend work as this work did not involve working late hours and with a little help from an elder grandparent, they juggled both office and home easily.

When women entered politics, and they decided that they needed more than just being educated and doing simple jobs. They encouraged the new generations to study to higher levels and made school education for girls free and are providing bigger benefits to girls to encourage them to study and hold positions of authority in the workplace. This has made women powerful and various senior positions are held by women. Multinational companies have an “equal opportunities” employment rule and this allows women to apply for any position they are qualified and for. Today CEOs, astronauts, business women are some examples of the success women have achieved in various fields along side being housewives and mothers.

Women are on par with men at every level and stage of life, some more liberated men have even chosen to become “house husbands” while the woman of the house goes out to work and earn a healthy and lucrative income for the family. It was the ignorance and lack of knowledge in earlier times when girls or women were considered less and not on equal terms with boys or men. Both are equal and must be treated equally everywhere and every time.

My Dear Keval,

Your sms this morning brought me great joy. Your success at the S.S.C. exams with 89% was exciting news. Your hard work and disciplined study has brought you its reward. Congratulations Keval!!

Many people believe that success is associated with luck. Some say the examiners’ moods decide the fate of the students’. This is directed towards some intelligent students who haven’t fared well and some not so intelligent students who have got some unrealistic results. But your success is not to be compared to any of these theories.

My family has constantly discussed your hard work and dedication from the beginning of the academic year and we have debated your results and we are not surprised that you have achieved these marks.

I think you have planned your future course of action and have already decided which college you would like to join and pursue Arts to build your career in journalism. Well done, Keval!

My parents offer their blessings and compliments on your success and wish you success in your future endeavours. Congratulations once again.

Your loving friend,
