Topic and Question Advertising: Should companies be allowed to advertise to children? Ineffective Argument I think that advertising to children is necessary. How else will we know what we can buy? I think that children are not aware of the products that are available. Most children don’t own cars and can’t drive to stores to look around. The only way we know what we can buy is by seeing advertisements on TV. My friend really likes advertisements, too. He said, “How will we know what to buy if we don’t see advertisements?” Seriously, children are consumers, too. We know what we like and we ask our parents to buy these products for us. I know that I like certain cereals, but how would I know that if I did not see advertisements? I love those commercials! Kids are people, too.

I think that the claim is ok since she stated what side she is on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The support is not very effective because she uses what her friends have said and does not base it off facts.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am i right??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In her conclusion all she says is that she loves kids and they are people too, she does not restate her claim and any evidence on it. If she had wanted to say "I love those commercials! Kids are people, too. " Then she should have stated ater she restated her claim.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n her point of view she uses the word I a lot. She should not do that and instead replace them with other words rather than I or You.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Her transitions are not that great, In her second paragraph she left a sentence with saying something about her friend liking the commercials too and then in the next paragraph started talking about the same thing.

So my whole paragraph is I think that the claim is ok since she stated what side she is on. The support is not very effective because she uses what her friends have said and does not base it off facts. In her conclusion all she says is that she loves kids and they are people too, she does not restate her claim and any evidence on it. If she had wanted to say "I love those commercials! Kids are people, too. " Then she should have stated after she restated her claim. In her point of view she uses the word I a lot. She should not do that and instead replace them with other words rather than I or You. Her transitions are not that great, In her second paragraph she left a sentence with saying something about her friend liking the commercials too and then in the next paragraph started talking about the same thing.
