Ques: Small shops in towns are replaced by big shopping malls. Discuss positive and negative impacts?

Answer:

                
            This is a true fact to consider that present world has become global village. Therefore, people are attracted towards to buy their all necessities from the competitive market that benefits them in any way. And this has resulted increase in the number of shopping malls that are established in past few years in almost all cities of the world to lure people towards them. Considering this it has both the positive and negative impact.

Analyzing the statement, it is a known fact that majority of shopping decisions are influenced by two main factors- cost and convenience. Large shopping mall provide both these factors very effectively. As these malls purchase the goods in bulk due to which they have more profit and then they sell them at low price than the shopkeepers. More over, collecting in bulk help the mall owner to display variety of products and mostly branded products are sold with excellent quality fibers. Further more, these malls have wide range of sections under one roof which make them convenient. For example, people can easily find electronics, clothing, grocery and sports items in one place which save their time.

Additionally, due to large competition large malls also employ people to serve to their customers thus generating jobs. These people help customers to buy according to their need. Another reason is facilities like parking space, recreational activities, air conditioners, food points and café has made these malls more successful.

On the flip side, it also has some disadvantage like customers can not bargain in malls as the owner has displayed the fixed prices and sometimes they just waste money buying things which are beyond their approach and they don't need as they are enticed by the new good looking things. Traditional way of shopping is going down.

To summarize, though shopping malls have both positive and negative impact but I believe advantages outweigh the disadvantages. And more over I think that it will take some more time might be years to completely replace the shopping malls.
