In many countries, most shops and products become identical. Some people think it is a positive development, while others believe it is a negative development. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

These days, the phenomenon in which more stores and commodities bear a striking resemblance to each other has aroused controversy as some people advocate

this

trend,

whereas

others are strongly opposed to it. From my perspective,

although

this

can be seen as a drive for enterprises to enhance their quality, I believe that it will lead to more harm than good not only to consumers but

also

to the economy.

On the other hand

, supporters of

such

a predisposition may argue that it promotes fair competition among shops and companies.

In other words

, once aesthetic appeal from the appearance of stores or items is no longer prioritized, their quality will be the factor that determines their success on the market. Those that fail to satisfy

this

requirement will be eliminated from the competition and there will be no place for enterprises that overly focus on the marketing tactics rather than the internal value of their

products

.

As a result

,

this

should incentivize companies to constantly enhance the involvement of users

as well as

upgrade their services or goods in order to retain loyal customers. Despite these valid arguments, I opine that if stocks and items all look the same, it will exert more negative impacts on the economy and consumers' backgrounds.

Firstly

, the indistinguishable appearance of productions or shops may easily confuse shoppers and they can end up mispurchasing an item or visiting the wrong shop. The unsatisfactory acquaintance they gain from these mistaken purchases can have a deleterious effect on the reputation of the brand they

initially

intended to opt for.

Besides

, if items are allowed to build similar images, the practice of duplicating authentic

products

will be rife, which can cause great harm to prestigious brand names.

Secondly

, if stocks and

products

all look identical, they may lose a competitive edge over the other rivals in terms of attractiveness. Packaging or decoration is what sets one apart from the others and makes it outstanding;

therefore

, without a unique look, these businesses will find it challenging to promote their images among the public.

Consequently

, when diversity is lost, buyers will tend to choose only one brand when they need to purchase a certain item, regardless of the variety in supermarkets or malls.

This

trend will force other firms to shutter and impede the economic progress of a whole country in the long run.

To sum up

, even though

similarly

-looking

products

and shops can encourage companies to focus more on the quality of their offerings, I think

this

phenomenon will negatively affect one's buying practice and prevent enterprises from equally thriving and contributing to the national economy.
