One of the controversial issues today is online shopping. According to a recent survey,a large number of consumers are in favor of online shopping as it has become a trend. In this essay, I will discuss the positive and negative effects of this issue and offer my own view on it.
On the positive aspect, one of the most significant advantages is that online shopping brings customers so much convenience that it is widely recognized as much more time-saving than traditional shopping. Moreover, online customers have access to commodities of such a huge variety and number. Perhaps the primary advantage is that they have the opportunities to compare prices of a product offered by different retailers. On the negative aspect, there is a good chance of buying a defective product, as they cannot examine the quality when shopping online. What’s more, there exist some dishonest and incredible online retailers who may do further damages to buyers’ interests.
As far as I’m concerned, the benefits of online shopping greatly outweigh its drawbacks. People should make better use of shopping and bypass its negative effects. People can never be too careful when shopping online.
In current society, shopping online instead of in markets or shops has become much more common than ever, with unstopable questions asked all the time. Some insist that this way is more convenient, fast, easy and time-saving, and they find it advantageous to make a purchase within a few clicks on the mouse and keyboard through Internet on one computer under their own condition. Nonetheless others keep having doubts about whether it's actually safe and trustworthy to do this shopping online thing, most of which stick to their former choice of buying stuff where they can really touch or smell or feel with their own senses. I believe that with these years's endeavors made on establishing a stable and complete online shopping system, it's time for us to do it, or at least have a try, after all, whatever we choose to do, shopping online has been more and more popular around us.
