In the past, shopping was a routine domestic task. Many people nowadays regard it as a hobby. To what extent do you think this is a positive trend?

Shopping was considered a daily household chore by the old generation, whereas a majority in modern

society

is taking it as a leisure activity. In my opinion, I partially agree with the aforementioned statement.

This

essay will,

therefore

, go into

further

insights into the consequences of

this

modification in shopping purposes, and explain why, before coming to a reasoned conclusion.

First

and foremost, it was obviously a challenge for

society

in the past several years ago, when

people

had to spend spent earnings in the most deliberate way to keep family total expenditures, not beyond the limited budget but ensure to maintain the basic living standards . The top priority had to be for food and living necessities, the

second

part went to savings and investment, and

then

the spare amount of the pool was prioritized for education. As a matter of fact,

people

were serious while making any purchasing decision back

then

.

On the contrary

way, there is a strong belief in current

society

that purchasing activity is one of the ways to relax and get rid of stress and pressure after a long day working. Getting strong support from the development of technology , shopping now is easy just by a mouse click through e-commerce platforms

besides

the traditional ones at stores. Along with that, a wide range of goods including foods, clothes, cosmetics or even high-tech products, pricing varies from affordable to luxury brands. As a matter of fact, shopping easily cost

people

a hundred thousand up to a hundred million over their monthly income, regardless of their background or family which is either in urgent need of standing or a high-class position.

Moreover

, thousand of constant campaigns from the sellers run through social platforms in order to stimulate

people

to buy things which they call “me time” or “enjoy your young and fabulous”.

People

, especially younger put savings and investment as the lowest priority after spending money on shopping.

This

is to say, modern

people

are increasing awareness of respecting and rewarding themselves for their hard work, under pushing from thousand of deadlines and spending money for shopping is just an easy way to shake off all the stress they are facing and dealing with on daily basis. To sum up, I personally think that given some

people

abusing shopping over all others necessary,

this

is definitely a negative trend in

society

.

However

,

people

who know are thoughtful and conservative while spending money for shopping with purpose and satisfy their appropriate favours,

this

is to promote

society

's growth constantly and healthily.
