In their advertising, businesses nowadays usually emphasise tha their products are new in some ways. Why is this?Do you think it is a positive and negative development?

Nowadays, the business industry is becoming very competitive, and due to
this
fact, many companies try to indicate their own products as the newest available on the market.
This
happens because
people
are attracted by new items and I think that
this
has bad consequences. In

I will explain my point of view and I will
also
provide some examples.
To begin
with, in our society there is a huge number of businesses, physical stores or online. In order to stand out from the competition, they use some marketing moves. One of them, probably the most popular, is based on making customers believe that their items are the most recent.
This
strategy works because many studies conducted during the
last
decades, reported the fancy of
people
about being always the
first
, in every situation. If someone wants to be the
first
, what he needs? Obviously, new products are available on the market, especially when it comes to the car industry and mobile phones,

. In my opinion,
this
is not a good trend for humankind and for the environment. If companies produce every year or every six months new items, in order to not lose their customers' attention, it means that
people
throw away their goods very frequently, to buy new ones. It's important to notice that most of the time, these new goods are slightly better than the previous ones and are apparently identical,

Furthermore
,
this
creates a huge environmental problem because the recycling industry is overwhelmed, due to the fact that due to the high speed of our consumeristic society, there are too many materials to recycle. The overloading of garbage accumulated in nature or in the sea, and

is a huge problem for human beings but
also
for animals and plants. To conclude, today, businesses leverage the crazy idea of new, spread among
people
, and by doing
this
, individuals are inevitably attracted by their products,
also
if they are not so special. I strongly believe that
this
consumeristic attitude leads to serious problems for the environment and I think that governments should take some action in order to fix it.
