These days, people prefer to throw damaged items away, while in the past, they used to repair and use things for a long time. Why do you think this change has happened? What are the effects of this change?

It is true that
people
 in industrialised nations prefer to replace their broken
items
 with brand-new
products
 rather than fix them. In
this
 essay, I will explain the reasons for
this
 and how
this
 tendency has some negative effects.
Firstly
, mass production from factories produces more product options for consumers. If the
people
 who broke their
items
 even replaced the
items
 for some reason, they can purchase a new item easily from grocery stores or e-commerce websites.
Secondly
, many
products
 have to repair by professionals who have special equipment and facilities at a higher price.
For example
, the tools for repairing consumer electronic
products
such
 as speakers and headphones are special and professional knowledge is needed. Even repairing the item is more expensive than buying a new product.
Hence
, many
people
 do become accustomed to throwing away the crashed stuff.
Finally
, the advertisements

 as a strong persuasion to hypnotise
people
 into buying new goods.
Therefore
,
people
 have more options to replace their old and broken
items
instead
 of repairing and refurbishing them. The most important consequence of
this
 behaviour is that all the raw and natural materials
such
 as trees, metal and fossil fuels are consumed quickly which destroys the global ecology system.
Furthermore
, more industrial waste is produced come at a huge cost to the governments to process abandoned
products
 and non-degradable materials. It will be a burden for governments and green organisations to solve the pollution problems and rise a large expenditure. In conclusion, several potential reasons cause
