Adhesives can be used to attach two separate items, or 1 item that broke into two pieces or 1 item that has ripped.
Depending on the circumstances, having the right adhesive at the right time could save lives--literally. An example: if a person had a sucking chest wound, an adhesive could be used to secure an air-tight barrier to the wound, allow the victim to breathe.
It could also be very helpful for improvised car or bicycle repair--allowing a person to travel a few extra miles and reach a service station.
Adhesives can help a person save money too. One can make temporary repairs (say, to the sole of your shoe if it came unattached to the rest of your shoe). If you had a really good adhesive, you might be able to use those shoes for another year or two.
A disadvantage of adhesives is that some are so powerful that they can injure a person unnecessarily. Even some bandages that initially helped a person heal, could cause extra wound when trying to remove the bandage. It can also re-open a wound.
If someone was trying to improvise a repair (car or bike), and they were sloppy with the adhesive, they could cause more, unncessary damage. For example, let's say a person was super gluing his hand grips on his bike, and dripped some glue on his sprocket and chain-links.
