It can be witnessed that nowadays some individuals just throw damaged
items
away rather than repair them like the
people
in the past.
However
, several serious factors are blamed for
such
a problem and some effects of
this
change should be taken into consideration.
Undoubtedly, more and more
products
are affordable is
one
of the most contributory factors. specifically,
people
are being paid higher than they used to, and they naturally do not care about the expenses of buying a new product. on the
one
hand, with the rapid development of technology and society, the living standard has risen significantly,
people
are not necessary to fix broken
items
, because they can totally afford a new
one
.
on the other hand
, in some industries and factories, human workers are replaced by technologies and robots gradually in order to boost efficiency and decrease costs.
As a result
,
products
are cheaper and more affordable.
Furthermore
, the quality of
products
is becoming higher because of the sophisticated machines and equipment.
For example
, if a phone’s screen is broken, it costs consumers several thousand RMB to fix it but
also
costs several thousand RMB to buy a new
one
. That’s why a majority of
people
reckon that there is no need to repair.
Additionally
, the mentality of
people
has changed considerably is another reason that cannot be ignored. That’s because in the past,
people
just wanted to save money, if an item can be fixed,
people
would pay for it to repair so that they did not need to cost much money to buy a new piece of
items
. It means that
people
used to be money-saving-oriented.
Whereas
nowadays,
people
’s state of mind has adjusted considerably.
People
just want to gain a sense of experience and enhance their living standards by using some
items
.
For example
, a broken and
then
repaired TV is not as refined as a new
one
.
Thus
,
people
would rather buy a new product,
instead
of repairing an old
one
, in other to ensure their living standard.
However
, some serious and inevitable effects of
this
change should be taken into consideration.
Firstly
, it would lead to the waste of resources. Because producing and transporting a number of new
products
would cause the consumption of resources.
Besides
, disposing of the waste is a time-wasting and energy-wasting task which
also
consumes the financial budget.
Secondly
, some
people
are more likely to become fickleness and buy meaningless
products
frequently, focusing on material demanding to satisfy their vanity, rather than paying more attention to their inner thought and the improvement of their own capabilities.
In conclusion,
although
various reasons would lead to a negative trend and affect
people
’s daily life, there are diverse measures that can be done to tackle the problem sufficiently, and only in these ways can we leave a better sight in the future.
