In the past, shopping was a routine domestic task. Many people nowadays regard it as a hobby. To what extent do you think this is a positive trend?

All the

time

shopping a human habit existed and it was a way for resolving the needs. In the past it assumed daily routine activity,

however

, nowadays it is mostly like a

hobby

. Both of these have advantages and disadvantages to some extent. In

this

essay, it is trying to analyse both sides to get a reasoned conclusion.

First

of all, ancient societies should buy their routine needs by the bazaar which sometimes was not near or accessible all the

time

.

For example

, having groceries all year was impossible, so they bought as much as they can to store for the rest of the year. In

this

situation, while the demand was not in hand every day, people should make shopping a routine domestic task.

Thus

, it is obvious that shopping was not a

hobby

, but it was a duty.             On the other side, shopping at

this

time

become a

hobby

. People have access to all they want for them to survive as soon as possible by simple ways

such

as online ordering.

Moreover

, while the basic needs are ordinary things, its meaning changes to buy things for fun which are not vital,

for example

, electronics or party dresses. As an example, whenever people want to buy their needs from a shopping mall, the main goal is to have fun with their children.

Therefore

, shopping as a

hobby

is now more popular than resolving a need.             To summarize, the main goal of both is to resolve the need,

however

, because of the accessibility of goods these days, it becomes a real joyful

hobby

. In the future, if

this

trend remains, it will be a waste of

time

to go shopping.
