Nowadays many people go shopping in their free time. Shopping has replaced many other activities that people used to choose as their hobby. What are the reasons for this? Is this a positive or negative development?

There was a time not so long ago when people used to go shopping only because of daily needs, but recently it has become a leisure activity or a pleasant outing.

As a result

bad things to the society as well as the civilizations. People who overcapitalize their money can spend their revenues in nothing and

they suffer from overspending. Psychologists argue that addiction in shopping can lead to several criminal dire effects

as robbery and stealing. To sum up, having considered the discussion above, I believe it will always create both positive and negative impacts, but shopping habit can be useful if shoppers spend their money wisely.
