During the time, shopping suffered an evolution: in the past, it was seen as a necessary needs, while nowadays, many people do to to relax or as a hobby. I believe that this concept isn't a positive trend for a lot of reasons. Firstly, there is an economic issue, for example, someone couldn't spend much money, in other words, this creates two social classes: riches and poors. Secondly, in your free time, you would go to a shopping centre instead of tiny and local market, therefore the money earned by common people drops drastically. Another trouble could be due to buying too much products without a real need, thus it soars the price of primary goods.
