You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Some people think that products should be made to last as long as possible, while others think that making the products cheap is more important. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

Some groups believe that manufacturers must produce goods with long life cycles,

while

others are in favour of the creation of affordable

products

for customers.

This

essay will discuss both perspectives and explain why I agree with the former. The production of cheap

products

is indeed beneficial for many, especially for

people

with lower incomes. The availability of

such

products

increases the access for less privileged groups to fulfil both their primary and secondary needs,

such

as clothes and electronic devices, at cheaper prices.

Consequently

, those

people

will be able to allocate their money for other posts,

for instance

, financing children's education and even holidays.

In addition

to that, poor

people

also

benefit from the existence of affordable technological devices because they are able to catch up with the trends, leading them to not fall behind in acquiring modern skills.

For example

, students from poor households can still learn how to code using cheap computers and compete with other students coming from more affluent backgrounds.

However

, I personally think that producing goods that

last

long will lead to more significant long-term advantages for society as a whole, not only certain groups.

Products

that

last

long will be utilized multiple times which means that less waste will be generated. Our world has witnessed the waste from fast fashion industries

that

oftentimes not recyclable. Thousand tons of cheap clothes are shipped from developed countries to developing nations,

such

as Chile and Mexico, creating more problems for society.

Additionally

, using

products

with higher quality leads to less consumption, meaning that fewer manufacturing activities will be conducted, saving a lot of energy.

Consequently

, we can contribute to the actions to reduce climate change by wearing or using

products

that can be continuously reused. In conclusion, our society can benefit more by consuming

products

that

last

long because

this

behaviour is more sustainable.

At the end

of the day,

people

will save more money from less consumption

while

at the same contributing to ensuring the sustainability of our environment.
