In this day and age, sharing the same tastes of fashions, television channels, brands and even eating habits has become more and more popular among people all over the world. Personally, I would appreciate both the pros and cons of this current trend before determining whether or not its advantages outperform its disadvantages.
One benefits of this lifestyle is job creation. For instance, when people start to have similar consummerism, it would be seen as a signal showing the leaders which is the best business that is worth financing and bring them benefits the most. As a result, more and more leaders put massive investments into specific market, more and more works can be created for the labor.
On the other hand, much as potential of this trend is, it still have a variety of disadvantages. A case in point is that, when people try to follow the trend by prioritizing to use fast food on a daily basis in place of traditional meals, it would pay contribution to limit the competitive ability of local goods. Moreover, it’s also worth noting that the habit of watching similar television programmes would be a threat to the entertainment industry of a country due to the lack of diversity and innovation. Thus, these lead to the erosion of national identity and other devastating consequences.
In conclusion, while having the common customs of consumption offers opportunities for the community , the potential drawbacks are more significant. The erosion of cultural diversity, the homogenization of media content of global consumerism outweigh the benefits. It is crucial to embrace cultural diversity and strike a balance between global trends and the preservation of unique local traditions.
