Nowadays some countries encourage people to buy more and more products, which is good for economy. While others believe it is bad for the society. Discuss both views and give your opinion
At present days, the public in some nations is motivated to purchase goods, which has aroused a discussion between different groups of
people
. While encouraging to buying stuff can benefit a nation economically, I believe it is certainly detrimental to social development when people
make unnecessary purchases.
It certainly enhances the development of the economy when a greater number of folks are willing to consume. The growth in the number of consumers means greater consumer demand, which definitely contributes to the development of some businesses. For example
, during the period of the Olympic Games, there is a noticeable rise in the need for sports goods and facilities. Companies that specialize in such
fields receive more orders during this
time, thereby making greater profit. Besides
, more job opportunities are created since more workers are needed to manufacture adequate goods to meet the need of customers.
However
, if more money is spent on items that are more than what people
really need, the consequences can be detrimental to society. First
of all, such
behaviour can result in waste. These products are not always necessary or satisfactory, which means they are very likely to be left untouched or even thrown away. It is not rare to see a seemingly fabulous coat that was bought on impulse stay in the closet without being put on again. In addition
, encouraging the public to buy more and more stuff is not helpful for individuals to form a positive attitude toward consumption. When they are used to such
a style of consuming, they may become addicted to buying things without thinking carefully about whether they really need those stuff or not. Nowadays, a number of young adults are keen on buying flashy things, some of which, however
, is too pricey for them to afford, such
as cutting-edged laptops, brand new cellphones, etc. Therefore
, some of them choose to pay by credit card, ignoring the potential danger of such
kind of payment.
In conclusion, while it is true that consumption is an integral part of a nation's economy and encouraging people
to buy products can boost the economy to a certain extent, such
encouragement does harm to society when people
don't base their purchases on their real demands and purchasing power.Submitted by 820759218 on
