Nowadays people live in the society where consumer goods are cheaper to buy. Do you think its advantages outweigh disadvantages?

In

this

modern era, most of the people have become addicted to the

consumer

goods. The Living standard of the people has improved with these goods. Even

consumer

goods like automobiles, home appliances and mobile phones have become the status symbol for individuals. But, I think, the demerits of

this

trend

cannot be overlooked. On one hand, there are a number of benefits of

consumer

goods.

Firstly

a person can do all his or her household chores with the one click of the button.

For instance

, they have washing machines and microwave ovens for washing clothes and to cook food within seconds respectively.

Secondly

, due to globalisation everything is available in today's markets people buy goods beyond their limits to look cool or stylish. They purchase branded mobile phones to show their bank balance to others.

Moreover

, we can talk with anyone throughout the globe with the help of cell phones. So, due to the

consumer

good life of humans become very comfortable.

On the other hand

, the disadvantages of

consumer

goods cannot be neglected, because the availability of

consumer

goods becomes the reason for the gap between the two generations. These days, young ones love to be online on social networking sites they even do not talk with their parents.

Furthermore

, people who have the branded gadgets or the latest cars earn respectable positions in the society and

this

is a degradation of morality and social value. Adding to

this

, home appliances like refrigerator and air conditioners produce trash each day

this

is increasing dangerously. That

further

leads to environment pollution.

Last

but not the least, most of the technologies used for developing

consumer

products are harmful to human health and

that is

why human life is going to in danger. In conclusion, availability of

consumer

products at an affordable price is a positive

trend

as it helps people to live a better life. Whereas negative sides of the

trend

cannot be forgotten. Social, personal and environmental problems are increasing due to

this

trend

and it might be a serious threat for the future generation.
