Countries are becoming more and more similar because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Nowadays the same products may be available for purchasing everywhere on the earth, resulting in growing commonalities across nations. While states become more similar, I think
this
would be a double-edged sword.
Firstly
, the accessibility of an identical thing across nature is causing national erosion.
For example
, in the past, the majority of Hong Kong
people
wore qipao or Korean wore hanbok.
Nevertheless
, the entry of multinational brands
such
as Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Nike… into the fashion market has resulted in an increase in young folks wearing Western-style attire. As traditional clothes of some land are being supplanted by Western designs, some of the region’s long-held ideals are being lost.
Furthermore
, as English becomes the most popular language on earth, most parents force their children to study English or learn at International schools. It leads many children to forget their mother tongue, they cannot even talk with their grandparents or they need translators.
Secondly
, the
countries
become increasingly similar, the tourism business may suffer. Nations pay money to discover unique things from other
countries
.
For example
, many individuals go to Korea just because of the extremely popular food called bibimbap.
However
, authentic Korean restaurants now can be found all around the world, so
people
no longer need to go to Korea to sample true Korean cuisine.
Moreover
,
people
can get whatever but not even try to travel to other
countries
.
For instance
, in the past, K-pop fans needed to travel to Korea to buy their idols’ goods and albums. They were charged for the aircraft trip
in addition
to the albums’ price. With the flow of time,
people
easy to buy their idols’ albums and goods online or in stores. By way of conclusion, getting any other cultural things in our
countries
is a double-edged sword. It can make
people
easy to buy everything from other
countries
, but it
also
erodes the culture of some
countries
.
