Countries are becoming more and more similar because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development? (IELTS 10, AC)

Many

nations

happen to be lesser different compared to others

due to

the ability to purchase similar products from anywhere across the world. Even though

this

is a sign of economic development, I believe it is a negative improvement if every country looks exactly the same. The world has been rapidly growing, especially in technology. A

years ago, there was no

such

thing as e-commerce but nowadays, even to only buy vegetables, it can be done online even across

nations

. With Pay Pal and any similar payment method, transactions cross-world become more easily to proceed so people from Indonesia could buy the most updated iPhone from the United States without any difficulty.

Furthermore

, social media

also

has its contribution by providing a wide range of fashion references,

for instance

. Who does not have Instagram these days?

This

application offers full of what we called 'influencers' from other countries who posted their lifestyle and inspired the viewers to wear the same thing. As the result, it becomes a domino effect and many people seem to have the same taste of mode.

every single country has its own culture. Imagine if all

nations

have lost their identity and will look similar to each other. The beauty of diversity will not able to enjoy by the next generations.

To sum up

, the similarity of countries is a symbol of easiness transactions across

nations

which benefited people.

However

this

is

also

a threat to traditional culture. Keeping the uniqueness of every country is still necessary to prevent it from extinction.
