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?

In modern days, there has been a higher percentage of people who consider shopping as a hobby than being a chore.

Although

in some aspects, I personally believe that the drawbacks of

this

change are more significant. On the one hand, I accept that shopping for pleasure might be beneficial in some aspects.

First

of all, it raises the demands for products which leads to a more competitive market.

As a result

, the producers have no choice than improving the quality of their product in order to survive their business.

This

can be helpful in developing the overall growth of economy through time. Apart from these, many researches have proved that shopping can be effective as a factor to dilute the stress level in every individual's life.

For instance

, a recent survey by Yale university which was revealed in 2019, had shown that the people who go shopping as an entertainment have shown lower levels of stress in panic situations. Despite the advantages mentioned above, I advocate the notion that the drawbacks of

this

trend are more important.

Firstly

,

this

tendency is prevalently increasing during recent years which means that it may become a habit or even an addiction through time.

As a result

, the rate of consumption will rise after a short while and that can lead to detrimental effects on

.

In other words

, the more people buy items which are not necessary in their life, the more the pollution will be produced to refill new items on stores. In conclusion,

although

regarding shopping as a hobby has become more prevalent these days, I believe that the negative aspects of

this

change outweigh the positive ones.
