W: We’re having a debate on advertising tomorrow and I have to take part.
M: That’s interesting. I should like to hear what young people think about advertising.

M: Yes, that’s true—up to a point. Advertisements provide information that we need. If someone has produced a new article, naturally the seller wants to tell us about it.
W: Yes, and advertisements tell us which product is the best.
M: Do they? I don’t think so. Every manufacturer says that his product is the best, or at least tries to give that impression. Only one can be the best, so the others are misleading us, aren’t they?

W: Well, I suppose we get something for our money—some information.
M: Yes, but don’t forget it’s often misleading information, and sometimes harmful.
