Due to the development and rapid expansion of supermakets in some countries, many small and 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?

In
this
contemporary epoch , it has to be said that local traders are struggling with their business due to the significant expansion of the
supermarkets
, and the majority of
people
assume that
this
trend may be eradicated by the local business and communities. I do agree with
this
notion as local trading is the heart of the local community. By
this
I mean, local factories and farmers may be threatened to close their production.
Firstly
, it is an undeniable fact that internal commerce is less competitive than department
stores
. Today
people
prefer to purchase everything from
supermarkets
rather than the local
stores
because of the quality and aesthetic face of the products.
Moreover
, it becomes a part of social status.To cite an example , a survey was conducted by Harvard Business School about why
people
prefer department
stores
to local shops.
As a result
, about 80 per cent of
people
who participated in
this
survey said that they could get everything from
supermarkets
when compare with local shops,
however
, local products are cheaper and fresher than
supermarkets
.
This
may lead to urbanisation in the countryside.
Secondly
, the local farmers and factories will bankrupt due to the urbanisation in cities.Most of them may lose their jobs and
this
may lead to poverty in the village side.
In addition
, due to
this
,bankruptcy local
people
will not get daily wages for basic amenities
such
as food, water, shelter,and education.
Finally
,
this
will lead to the country's economic strength.If local
people
try to sell their products to
supermarkets
,probably they do not get profit as per their hard work. In conclusion, it is stated that expansion of the
supermarkets
or department
stores
may be caused the extinction of local communities.
