In today's world, shopping, as a leisure activity, is becoming more and more popular among the society. Despite
this
case, it is believed by some part of the population that Linking Words
this
development has both merits and demerits which, in turn, will be discussed in Linking Words
this
essay.
Linking Words
To begin
with, on the one hand, the main reason why shopping has become so popular is that the modern generation has a predisposition to changes and can not live in a stable world. Linking Words
This
is because of the fact that not only do humans, nowadays, have completely different views on life and, overall, on our existence but Linking Words
also
they may feel depressed if no changes occur and everything remains the same. Linking Words
As a result
, if customers have a variety of choice in the commercial centres they are likely to spend a considerable amount of time just choosing new clothes in order to diversify their routine. Linking Words
For instance
, some scientists suggest that, in comparison to the past generation, today's people have become addicted to the changeable world and to be satisfied they are trying to alter something by purchasing new stuff.

However
, Linking Words
on the other hand
, Linking Words
this
tendency has a harmful influence on an individual, namely it decreases their sense of value that leads to the fact that consumers become insatiable. The main reason for Linking Words
this
might be the case that not only did people get used to having a chance to acquire whatever they want but Linking Words
also
they have forgotten how much efforts are being put into the production process of these goods or services. Linking Words
Furthermore
, if humans continue to purchase more and more of things they will have to throw away some previously bought stuff and, Linking Words
consequently
, the number of dumps in the majority of countries will increase significantly. Linking Words
Hence
, it might affect the environment and lead to new issues related to ecology. Linking Words
For example
, recent research has shown that the number of dumps has increased by 20% in comparison to the Linking Words
last
decade.
Eventually, to conclude, the major cause that explains why people enjoy shopping so much is that they are addicted to changes and want to have some new experience to be satisfied. Despite Linking Words
this
fact,a given tendency has effects on the individual and the society, namely it might destroy human's sense of value and, Linking Words
also
, due to a large level of consumption there might be an increase in the number of dumps.Linking Words
