Firstly

, an increase in shopping from malls has generated more employment opportunities.

For instance

, as per an article by The New York Times, Walmart,

one

of the world's largest retail stores, hires fifteen per cent of America's population. As large supermarkets and malls have more departments,

such

as marketing, finance, operations and sales, which keeps generating the requirement for jobs,

hence

, these shopping centres end up hiring more people as compared to local shops.

In other words

, malls have wide options for people including grocery,clothes, electronic equipment and books.

Therefore

change in consumer behaviour benefits society as a whole. While malls have increased employment opportunities, they have

Moreover

, with the increased consumer expenditure the contribution of shopping centres to governments revenue has shot up.

Some people think that because some children find some subjects such as mathematics and philosophy difficult they ought to be optional instead of compulsory. To what extent do you agree?
Education has been evolving by leaps and bounds and providing children with new avenues while keeping students updated with the relevant skills and mindset. Many children struggle working their mathematics problems and try to grasp some philosophical ideas every day. Therefore, a fair amount of people believe, challenging subjects such as mathematics and philosophy should be an optional choice in school. I do not completely agree with this, as these lessons have its values in shaping one’s life and are so much significant in our daily lives.
