It is important for children and young
people to live in a district with high quality,
diverse,inclusive and sustainable play facilities
When it comes to refer to the shaping of one's
personality we should firstly mention the fact that thedistrict
we live in plays an essential part, maybe more
than the influence the family has. In order to confirm
-
7/27/2019 BAC 2008.docx
12/15
this statement we should consider the following
arguments.
First of all, the personality of each individual begins to
take form in the middle of the family and is closely
connected to the education, the social status, religion or
culture that the family offers. But from an early age a
child begins to socialize and he comes into contact with
diferent children of his age and even older who live in
the same district, and contribute to his shaping ofpersonality.
Therefore, a first place to socialize for a
child is the playground from his district where he comes
to meet several children of diferent behaviours and with
whom he tries to communicate in order to be able to
integrate in a certain group. If the district he lives in
has
high quality, diverse, inclusive and sustainable play
facilities, these contribute to the shaping of children and
young people`s personality.
When I start thinking about my childhood, I always get a
good mood because all I remember are funny and
pleasant moments spent in my district which had lots of
play facilities. I could say that I had a happy childhood,
and that I have many beautiful memories from that
period.
Moreover, with the passing of years, I became an
adolescent , attended a highschool and a universiy,
-
7/27/2019 BAC 2008.docx
13/15
where I tried to belong to a group of friends and had the
same concerns and hobbies as the ones in my group.
But one thing I would like to point out and to conclude
with is the fact that, in my opinion, the latest
generations have become much more independent and
uppish . What do they try to show with this behaviour?
Maybe the fact that they try to get rid of the prejudices
that characterize our society and have a more modern
perspective of life.
Advertisements dont just sell products
but an image of the world in which buying becomes the
main purpose in life.
Advertising is an effective way of selling new products,
and many people argue that its effectiveness
brainwashes us into unnecessary spending. Others,
however, disagree, saying that advertising cant sell any
product; it can only help to sell a product the people
want to buy.
One of the main arguments for advertising is that it
generates wealth for a country. That is to say, taxes paid
on goods sold, help governments to pay for essential
services such as education and health care. Moreover,
the number of jobs created for producing, marketing and
servicing these goods helps to reduce the unemploymentproblem,
which is also a great advantage for a country's
economy.
-
7/27/2019 BAC 2008.docx
14/15
What is more, advertising raises money for a huge
number of sporting events and artistic performances
which would otherwise not be held. Without
sponsorship from companies who advertise their
products, these events would disappear due to lack of
founding. In other words, although consumerism is
promoted through advertising, it is beneficial to both the
consumer and society.
On the other hand, advertisements can cause people to
be dissatisfied with what they already have, and makethem want
more. Being exposed again and again to
products which one cannot afford produces frustration
and dissatisfaction. Furthermore, not all parents are in a
position to afford the goods which their children see
advertised and want to possess. This often leads to
feelings of inadequacy, especially among the less well-
off.
What is sometimes annoying when it comes to
advertisements is that these last too much, especially
when we watch a movie or an interesting show. We
have to wait more than ten minutes to see the same
advertising over and over again.
In addition to this, advertising creates materialism and
causes people to place too much importance on material
goods. The fact that people are prepared to work long
hours, or even turn to crime in order to gain the goodson offer,
shows that advertising persuades people to go
to great lengths to keep the same standard of living as
-
7/27/2019 BAC 2008.docx
15/15
those they see around them. It is a fact, though, that
neither crime, not the stress caused by overwork, can
benefit society.
