Countries are becoming more and more similar because people can buy the same products anywhere in the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

In line with the shift in time, there are growing concerns about an increase in similarity among various countries around the world.

While

there are a lot of people who claim that

this

phenomenon is a positive development, I believe that there are several drawbacks to

this

trend.

To begin

with, it is no wonder that the availability of various

products

could enhance consumers' convenience.

This

seems to stem from the fact that it made it easier for travellers to purchase their necessities without depending on the location

due to

the wide range of convenience stores that existed in various places. On top of that, sharing similar

products

contributes to mutual understanding around the world. Using the same goods and

products

could help many people coming from different backgrounds connect, which might lead to potential tolerance and harmony.

However

, it is only valid to a certain extent.

On the other hand

, a loss of cultural identity would appear if various countries continued to share the same

products

to consume. The primary reason behind

this

could come from the fact that using similar goods,

such

as clothes, drinks, or something along those lines, could decrease the demand for consuming traditional goods.

For instance

, since a lot of fast food restaurants became globalized, the number of individuals who consumed fast food, especially teenagers and early adolescents, rapidly rose in recent years, which was higher than the number of people who chose traditional meals. On top of that,

this

trend could hurt the environment. There are a variety of facilities built in these modern days that could emit a sheer amount of pollution, waste, and carbon dioxide into the surroundings.

This

phenomenon not only affects the habitat but

also

the ecological balance since numerous constructions cut down a lot of plants and places where there are many species, which affects the fauna diversity.

In other words

, ecological balance and traditional values could be affected by the similarity. After considering

this

issue, I have concluded that even though

this

phenomenon provides many advantages to the human race, I support the idea that it has a bad influence on various aspects, including the environment and traditional diversity.
