Recently the rapid growth in demand for new products, consumerism, is evident and whether it is beneficial or not has been argued by many economists. This phenomenon has bolstered profit in many local and global businesses as well as provided the community with many jobs indirectly. Even though some demerits have followed, such as a sharp increase in waste production and depletion especially in non-renewable resources, I have to disagree with the statement, since in my opinion, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
