Due to the development and rapid expansion of supermarket in some countries, many small, local business are unable to compete. Some people think that the closure of local business will bring about the death of local communities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The rapid increase of

supermarkets

in some parts of the world has overshadowed local

businesses

' ability to compete. While some hold the view that

this

trend can lead to the extinction of local communities, I disagree with

this

assumption for two main reasons.

First

, the expansion of

supermarkets

and

department

stores

will provide alternative

jobs

for those who will lose their occupations.

Second

,

this

pattern of development will create a window of novel opportunities for the community. The

first

reason I oppose the above-mentioned statement is that

although

the development of large

supermarkets

in an area will exert a negative impact on small shops,

this

provides other

jobs

for those whose

businesses

get closed.

Consequently

, their owners can work for the newly opened

department

stores

, a phenomenon observed in many

For example

, numerous observations in a multitude of cities in Iran have indicated that large

supermarkets

tend to employ more than 76 per cent of the shopkeepers who have lost their

On the other hand

, the establishment of

department

stores

in a place can introduce new ways of earning money. These large

demand a wide range of marketing and advertising activities

a much broader scale compared with small shops. Another development could be the transportation and distribution of products, which should be conducted more extensively. Logically,

this

can offer far more opportunities for local people.

For instance

, a survey in Denmark has indicated that the opening of large

businesses

can create a wider range of occupations for local inhabitants, raising their income by 15 per cent. In summary, while some contend that the quick rise in the number of huge

supermarkets

local

businesses

, I believe that

this

can not be the case because it can provide alternative

jobs

for individuals whose

businesses

are adversely affected.

In addition

, more diverse opportunities,

such

as marketing and transportation, are offered by the establishment of large

department

stores
