In recent years, many small local shops have closed because customers travel to large shopping centre or malls to do their shopping. Is this a positive or a negative development?
In the current era , more and more customers choose to
shop
in supermarkets than in small shops
. Unfortunately , this
will lead to shut down several numbers of small shops
leading to increased national wide unemployment . Furthermore
, the community going to pay unnessoryly high level of money for common consumable items.Since then
, I believe this
development
will negatively affect the citizens of the country .
To begin
with , when we consider these big supermalls , they attract people
in several ways like TV commercials , big discounts and card offers. Unfortunately , small shop
owners , cannot do this
with their limited budget . Ultimately , more and more customers will go to these large shops
and small shop
owners will supper. Furthermore
, they will have to close their shops
and may need to find another job to survive.For instance
, a survey done in American universities has found , about 60% of small shops
around America shut down during the last
decade due to the development
of a new shopping mall.
At the same time , the development
of this
new culture has affected the general public badly. Unfortunately , when more and more people
shop
in these supercenterscentres, they invariably spend a large amount of money , without their knowledge . For example
, recent research done at the University of Colombo has shown, people
tend to spend more than they need when they shop
in shopping malls rather than in ordinary small shops
.
In conclusion , people
around the globe are attracted more to the supermarkets than the small shops
available in local arias. because of this
, more and more people
will lose their jobs and the expenditure of the general public will invariably increase. therefore
, I believe that the development
of this
supermarket culture will lead to more and more negative effects on society than the positive effects.Submitted by mngldissanayaka on
