The recent popularity of online shopping will result in the end of high street shops. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Thanks to globalization and the advent of the internet, online shopping has become increasingly popular in most parts of the world.

However

, I disagree that

this

recent popularity of online shops will lead to the closure of high roadway shops for three reasons. The attraction for online shopping pales in comparison with the social and physical benefits that come with going to traditional shops. Shopping in high lane stores is a good way of socializing with friends and family. They can get together and go to shops, which might prove useful as

this

activity could reduce stress and improve the bonds.

Moreover

,

this

get-together might be a free physical activity for people who are overwhelmed with their jobs since shoppers need to move from one store to another to find the most suitable clothes or other products. Another reason why I think that traditional shops remain has to do with the economy. High thoroughfare shops, which pay contribution to the government, employ a number of people, who

also

pay income duty to the state.

In contrast

, when shopping online, one does not have to pay duty or

this

expense is usually smaller. For

this

reason, the popularity of online shops does not impact the existence of high lane shops.

Finally

, the recent prevalence of global online shops has brought about environmental concerns. When shipping larger quantities of goods using air, sea and road transportation,

this

way of delivering the products to their consumers results in severe damage to the environment. That said, some people could argue that shoppers can buy a wide variety of quality products at reasonable prices using online shopping. I would,

however

, argue that

this

little financial benefit is costing a lot at the expense of harm to the atmosphere. In conclusion, not only is shopping in high lane stores good for socializing, but

this

way of shopping is

also

helping to stimulate the economy.

Although

online shopping is convenient and less time-consuming, they are having a detrimental effect on the environment.

Therefore

, I disagree that high boulevard shops will disappear in the future.
