It is true that when
supermarkets
 and online stores become more and more prevalent, trade competition can be difficult for small-scale local stores. There are a number of reasons behind
this
 tendency and several solutions should be adopted by the government and local
people
 to improve the situation. First and foremost, as the large
shops
 have a variety of products from clothes, electrical equipment, cosmetics, and many more accessories,
people
 tend to choose shopmarts or use smartphones to purchase products in online
shops
.
Due to
 the prevalence of
supermarkets
, small
shops
 can in turn close. The large markets are usually in regions that are densely populated and transportation causes difficulty for children and elderly
people
 to travel to these
supermarkets
.
In addition
, using the excessive phone to surf online sales webs is susceptible to eye disorders and diseases and phone dependence. Fortunately, several solutions could be taken to partly prevent
this
 problem. The first solution would be the involvement of the government or bank, financial support, or loan
along with
 low-interest rates to encourage shopkeepers to improve their infrastructure and increase the variety of their goods. The second solution is the local shop can organize discount and reward activities for lucky customers in order to motivate
people
 to get out of their houses and limit abuse of online shopping sites. In conclusion, there are some negative influences from having too many large
supermarkets
 and online
shops
such
 as the impact on the existence of small local ones and dependence of
people
 on online shopping. I believe that with the attention of the local government and the shopkeeper's efforts, these issues can significantly improve.
