QUESTION; In recent years, many small local shops have closed because customers travel to large shopping centers or malls to do their shipping. Is this a positive or a negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.
Due to the modernisation of ,society a number of large shopping buildings have been constructed ;
therefore
, the majority of people
get attracted to these huge shopping centres. So, it is seen that multifarious local shops
have closed due to financial loss as people
nowadays like to buy things
from malls
. This
is a negative development because small shops
are the only source of income for poor people
and customers have to travel a lot to buy daily used products. Further
elaboration will be discussed in the following paragraphs along with suitable examples.
To commence with, India is a nation where more than half of the population has been living below the poverty line. Moreover
, many people
of them are uneducated ; therefore
, people
run a few businesses according to their financial status. Besides
this
, these people
run their small businesses in countryside areas, as a number of shopping malls
are very less in the rural areas. So, these small shops
are their only source of money
their family is fully dependent on only these shops
; however
, nowadays people
try shopping in the large malls
and so many shopping areas are available anywhere these days. As a result
, small shops
honours have faced huge income losses and their shops
have closed. ,Now these people
do not have enough money
to full fill their basic requirements. For example
, a report from Time Now in 2020 stated that almost people
90% of people
who face major losses in this
trend were unable to buy meals for their families. Hence
, these trends have a huge negative impact on these small shops
' honours.
Moving further
, because small shops
have closed ; therefore
, people
have to travel a lot to buy even small things
such
as milk, bread, sanitary napkins and many more from shopping centres and which is very time consuming and irritating as well. In addition
, a lot of people
have spent a huge amount of money
in malls
even if they do not have a need to buy any particular thing. For instance
, a survey from Oxford University stated that almost 70% of people
buy things
only to watch others or sometimes for product's attractive packaging they do not even need to purchase some products. Therefore
, people
spend there a huge collection of money
only on unnecessary items.
In conclusion, the closing of small shops
has a negative trend as many shopkeepers depended on them. Also
, people
have to travel very far to buy basic things
and they spend a large amount to purchase unnecessary things
