Shopping is now one of the most popular forms of leisure activities in many countries for young adults. Why is this? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

Everyone needs time off from their tedious schedule to entertain or pleasure themselves. There are various means of joy for different people. Shopping has become one of the most expressive means of leisure activity practised among the youth. In the forthcoming paragraphs, I will be expressing my views on why

this

is so? and if

this

is a good or a bad evolution.

To begin

with, the advancement in the global world has had a great impact on the trend of shopping reaching these heights. May

this

be online shopping sites developed with the help of the web, competition between the brands, versatility in the fashion world especially for youngsters, etcetera. And to some extent, the mood swinging nature of young adults. By saying

this

I mean the getting attracted to specific product and

then

getting attached to another after watching an advertisement. Moving

, according to me, buying something out of necessity is beneficial for an individual rather than spending according to the changes happening around. Ease of shopping is an asset to be used when required not a hobby to practice. To illustrate,

for example

, my phone does not work properly and has to be changed , in

this

case,shopping becomes a need. But my phone works absolutely fine but, is outdated and in

this

scenario purchasing a newer model is a mere pleasure with no benefit. Before putting my pen down, I would like to state that one should understand the difference between satisfaction and pleasure. Ease of shopping should not be a hobby but an asset in the time of need .
