Professor

Today, we’re discussing the ethics of targeted advertising. Some people argue that online advertising which uses personal information to target specific people is an invasion of privacy. Others argue that it’s simply an acceptable way to reach consumers with products and services they’re interested in. What’s your take? Do you think targeted advertising is ethical, or is it an invasion of privacy?

Student A

I think targeted advertising is an invasion of privacy. Advertisers shouldn’t be able to track and use our personal information to sell us products. It’s not fair to consumers, and it’s a violation of our rights. Instead, advertisers should focus on creating high-quality ads that appeal to a broad audience. By doing that they can both increase their sales and show respect for their customers.

Student B

I disagree with Jessica. I think targeted advertising is ethical. It’s a more efficient way to reach consumers with products and services that are relevant to their interests. With the money they save by using more effective marketing techniques, companies can afford to offer lower prices to their customers. Plus, we can always opt-out of targeted advertising by adjusting our privacy settings. As long we get a choice, I think targeted advertising can be beneficial

While targeted advertising can be an efficient method for promoting products, the protection of personal privacy should not be overlooked. I believe that targeted advertising constitutes an invasion of privacy, as it can potentially have negative consequences on our daily lives. The acquisition of personal information may lead to harassment through unwanted calls or messages, causing significant distress. Furthermore, if fraudsters gain access to such information, individuals with limited discernment may fall victim to scams.

I agree with Mike’s idea that we can just opt-out of targeted advertising if we’re worried about it. On top of that, I frimly believe that target advertising isn’t an ethical problem, as it provides people with proper and understamdable guidance to avoid data privacy issues. To elaborate, it is extremely easy to protect our personal data nowadays since Internet browsers are very user-friendly. Even people who are inexperienced with technology can find the right settings and adjust them. Furthermore, society is more diverse than before, so it is almost impossible to create a message that everyone finds attractive. Small companies without large advertising and research budgets might go out of business if they are prevented from using cheap and effective target advertising. Still, Jessica raises a relevant point that companies should create advertisements that appeal to a broad audience. Ironically, she didn’t mention how difficult it is to make advertisements like that.

3. Task completeness

The essay does a good job of addressing the task requirements by expressing a personal opinion and contributing to the discussion. However, there is room for improvement in terms of elaborating on the viewpoint and providing more specific examples or details to support the argument.

Suggestions for improvement:

  • Provide more concrete examples of how targeted advertising benefits both consumers and businesses.

  • Discuss potential drawbacks or concerns related to targeted advertising, such as data privacy issues, and how they can be mitigated.

Examples:

  1. "For instance, targeted advertising allows small businesses with limited budgets to reach their niche audience more effectively, resulting in better sales performance."
  2. "While there are concerns about data privacy, companies can implement strict data protection policies and inform users about their rights regarding personal information usage."

4. Essay structure and organization

The essay has a clear structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. However, it could benefit from better organization within the body paragraphs and clearer transitions between ideas.

Suggestions for improvement:

  • Use topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph to introduce the main point.

  • Improve transitions between ideas by using appropriate linking words or phrases.

Examples:

  1. "Firstly, it is important to consider that targeted advertising allows for greater efficiency in reaching potential customers."
  2. "On the other hand, some may argue that targeted advertising can lead to privacy concerns; however, there are ways to address these issues."

I’d add that some reviews online may not be posed by customers. Since the seller would use their friends、family and many other tactics such as positive feedback cashback to attract more customers. Andrew raised the relevant point that reviews are written by original customers. But she didn’t mention that everyone’s flavor is different, one’s preference isn’t suitable for you.
