In our modern life,
supermarkets
owned by global corporations have started to open their branches in small areas ,
for example
in mountain villages ,and local
markets
have lost their customers. In my opinion, local businesses and communities will suffer a lot from
this
economic development and may lose their traditions and way of life.
First,
supermarkets
haven't variety as traditional stores and offer lower prices for the same product.
As a result
, shoppers are visiting malls to shop ,
while
local
markets
are closing their doors. Another reason why traditional businesses are affected by large companies is the lack of advertising.
That is
, local stores depend on returning customers and cannot attract new ones through television or internet advertising. Take as an example,
supermarkets
can buy expensive commercials and
then
they attract people to visit them.
While
local
markets
remain in the dark.
Second,
the opening of
supermarkets
can benefit local producers by supplying their products and selling them locally.
In other words
, these corporations can contract with local farmers to provide their customers with fresh, local produce. In
this
way,
supermarkets
can help communities develop.
In addition
, new supermarket branches help create new jobs for local residents,
this
helps individuals who need work.
However
, many corporations do not have the advantage of local residents.
Instead
, they only care about profit. In conclusion, in my opinion
Add a comma
,
show examples
the disappearance of local
markets
is mainly
due to
the uncontrolled development of new shopping centres.
In addition
, we need to put more pressure on the government to introduce new policies that will help traditional businesses survive .
