Shopping is now one of the most popular forms of leisure activity in many countries for young adults.
Why is this?
Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
Shopping has become the most desired medium of relaxation and enjoyment among teenagers across several nations. The reasons behind this trend will be discussed in the upcoming crumb of my writing along with some points which will clarify how it is a positive development.
To initiate with, the main reason why the youth is so inclined towards shopping is because they get to buy things of necessity in their leisure time as well as it helps them to feel relaxed. Shopping gives a sense of satisfaction to the buyers as by purchasing things, they feel they have control over things in their life. Moreover, people nowadays shop more than in the past whenever they are unoccupied as they have so many mediums to shop now and also have a wide variety to choose from. They can go to the malls, local marketplaces as well as can do shopping online on countless e-commerce websites such as Amazon, eBay and many more. It cheers them up as it changes their mindset or helps them to forget about the worldly worries momentarily. Moreover, youngsters nowadays have become fashion freaks and they want to have the latest collection of dresses, shoes and accessories in their wardrobe. Some people find it extremely difficult to resist the tempting displayed new arrivals in stores even if they have enough of everything already.
To continue, shopping in spare time is indeed a positive development because research has shown that shopping actually helps to lift the mood and is a good stress buster. Recent studies have shown that shopping actually causes the brain to release more serotonin, a chemical that makes one feel good. Moreover, it keeps the economy boosted and the retail business on the go. So many masses get employment and business out of this habit or urge of shopping among the populace. Moreover, when people go shopping, they get to interact with so many people which helps them to reduce stress and lower stress levels are directly related to longevity. Also, shopping is a good form of exercise as when people shop, they walk around in huge malls and marketplaces which keep them physically active. Lastly, shopping is also known to improve mental acuity when people view and go through so many items.
To sum up, although shopping is called an expensive therapy by many, I believe that if one shops with discretion by comparing prices and buys only what he/she needs, it is a good activity to remain up-to-date about the latest ongoing trends and is also a good way to get rid of monotony and tensions.
