In modern society, there are many changes in human behaviour, especially the throwaway habit that today’s become a much more popular among worldwide. In other words, people have accessible to get any items that they want and soon after that dispose them away. In this essay, I will examine the key reasons of this phenomena and discuss in deep knowledge about the potential problem that may occur in the future.
One underlying cause of throwaway society is peer-preassure that people get from the society. Some people who like to buy luxury item are live in environment, where they are force to follow other live style. For instance, in metropolitan city, there is a must for people to have a branded items, such as Gucci bags, LV shoes, and so on. If they do not have a new brand item, they will feel left out from the society and they will get mock by their close circle. Moreover, the massive advertisement has brought people to become consumtive. Some advertisement have create delutional and fiction story, which catch buyers to buy something without thinking twice. Furthermore, some of luxury shops provide an easy payment, such as paypal or credit, which lead to the sense of buy now and pay later habit. As a result, people get kinda use to purchase something without have any comparing between needs and wants.
One potential problem that could show up in society is financial issues. This undeniedable that people waste most of their income to follow the latest trend. Some of them would get tight budget and it result in poverty. Another problem that may occur is the evironmental issue. Most items are thrown away and they are unrecycle, such as make up products that wrap with plastic, which can cause new environmental problem. To address this phenomena, people need to be aware about the result of this habit by educating them to reuse and to recycle item. Furthermore, government need to encourage and make a strict regulation to minimize this problem.
To sum up, throwaway society is created by many causes and it can cause new problem globally. I believe that each person has the main role to reduce this habit to create a better living.
