This essay raises the problem of people living in a “consumer society” where the item is disposed of after a short period of use.
The first reason is the huge range of selection. In other words, you can find any item with exactly those characteristics that you want not only in hypermarkets but online to. A good example of this would be to compare the consumer culture nowadays and in soviet union times, the Soviet Union used a system where a certain factory produce the same thing, sometimes there was a small selection of no more than three positions. Understandably, it was pure luck if there was three options, It was important for people to get at least something. But now we can choose things any shape, color and material we want.
Another reason why The ” throwaway society” movement is leading in the modern world is that, people tend to buy new items than to fix the old ones. Again that all depends on production. In addition, as in the last 10 – 15 years fabrication has widen A huge amount of goods has appeared on the market. Comparing with the last century, there was a shortage and lack of products, including due to the small development of technologies for rapid production. now most factories are more than half automated, which allows you to receive more items in less time. in the past, it was manual labor, so there was a shortage of goods.
To tackle this problem, government should try a A circular economy. It is part of the solution to solving these major environmental and resource issues – one in which products, services and systems are designed for reuse to maximise their value and minimise waste. Also, people should spread awareness about the problem of hyperconsumption, as on how well people are educated depends the effectiveness of this economic program.
In conclusion, the problem of “throwaway society” is on the list of serious global problems as the planets resources and nature is suffering. I believe if this trend continues, future generations will be left without a home, planet earth because this approach to production guarantees early or late failure.
