Due to the development and rapid expansion of supermarket in some countries, many small, local business are unable to compete. Some people think that the closure of local business will bring about the death of local communities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In the contemporary epoch of consumerism, and owing to the prevailing trend of the dominance of big supermarkets, it is often argued by some masses that

this

scenario emerges a

threat

of extinction for incapable smaller and indigenous businesses and localities. In my opinion, supermarkets, indeed, are resulting in shutdown of local businesses,

however

, it cannot be considered as a potential

threat

to any local community. Some claim that the lack of traditional and local small shops forces, masses to travel some distance of at least 15-20 minutes from their houses.

For example

, it generally affects their day-to-day routine, as they have to spare additional time for doing grocery and shopping of other essential goods, which were available at a walking distance for almost everyone while visiting stores in their nearby spaces.

Moreover

,

such

gigantic international stores harms the earnings of the small shopkeepers and may drive them to run out of business, resulting in an imbalance in trade policy.

Nevertheless

, it is not a

threat

to any community, rather it brings the possibilities of trade. Even though the influence of

such

big sellers on the indigenous businesses is quite considerable, it is not a danger to the existence of communities and their trade opportunities. Rather, the local sellers can provide the goods made in their region to

such

stores, since overheads of the export of international products are the prime reason behind the expensive market for the populace. If

such

type of practice is promoted, the emergence of supermarkets will bring benefits

instead

of any financial stress or potential

threat

to the earnings of the locals. In conclusion, I deem that the proliferation of large shops, providing everything available under one roof, will not endanger the existence, though it holds opportunities to become providers for these gigantic stores.
