Some people say that nowadays we have too many choices.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statemen?
The fact that we are surrounded by many cases requiring us to make regular choices has in recent years become a subject to people’s concerns. Even though this phenomenon offers us many advantages to enjoy better quality and wide-range of products, I firmly believe that its long-term effects are more devastating for both individuals and societies.
Admittedly, the availability of choice can yield positive outcomes on several grounds. Not only can this bring freedom in making our decisions, but also allow us to enjoy quality choices outside the constraints of the mainstream offers. When we are presented with many options, say, while making our purchases, we are less likely to be forced by manufacturers to buy certain products. Car manufacturing in Uzbekistan, for example, is a testament to how lack of choice can trigger the monopoly of one company over the market, leaving customers with no alternative but to pay unreasonably for low-quality service.
Despite this, we are exposed to excessive choices on a daily basis, which entails more severe repercussions than moderate benefits. The first drawback afflicts individuals, as it entails heightened stress levels associated with making one’s mind about what to select. For instance, given the variety of products in supermarkets, customers are often challenged to make deliberate decisions hesitating to choose between almost identical goods. The days are gone when we visited shops and made worry-free decisions about what to buy.
On a more general level, too much choice can give a rise to consumerism and throwaway culture. That’s, having been surrounded by different and various offers, we are bound to fall victim of marketing tricks, in most cases buying unnecessary things. In order to boost sales, manufacturers also lower the quality of products so that we are compelled to throw away our old items in favor of new ones. To take an example of Iphone, the company often updates its smartphones through introducing minor alterations, making those with brand loyalty longing for a new phone. The resultant consequences of this behavior can be more detrimental than it appears at a glance as it can tempt people to file for a loan and go into debt.
To conclude, when our choices are not restricted to certain products, we can decidedly derive more satisfaction from what we buy due to its high quality and reasonable cost. However, excessive choice often exposes us to unnecessarily high levels of stress and fosters consumerism, hence the reason for being against this development.
