Opinions might
be divided over whether building a large shopping center in their neighborhood
is good. People of various ages and from different walks of life may take
diverse positions on this controversial issue. Personally, I support that the
plan of building a large shopping center in my neighborhood for an essential
reason: development and stress.
First of all,
building a huge shopping center helps the town developed. Some people say that
the plan of building a landmark such as shopping center make town worse because
of increasing of traffic jam which causes by shopper(쇼핑객). Advocates’ claims may sound reasonable on the surface. However,
if we take closer look at their contentions, the rationale of their assertions
lacks logic in many ways. Moreover, my personal experience can definitely
debunk their claims. When I was 16 years old, my town had small markets. And a
few people lived there. 2 years later, a large shopping center was built in my
town. Not only people who had lived in our town but also people who lived in
other regions came to the shopping center to buy things and enjoy free time. Because
of increasing the number of people in the town, other markets, cafes and
restaurants newly created. Thus, town has been developed in many ways. The same
applies to other regions.
Second, building a huge shopping center let the
people who lived in the town relieve stress more easily. Moreover, beyond my
personal experience, there are many articles which can support my argument.
They expressed doubts that are similar to my point of view. A few weeks ago, I
had a chance to read an article from the Dong-A Daily News related to today’s
topic. It described the results of a survey conducted by the Seoul National
University sociology researchers with more than 300 people who lived in the
town where a large shopping center was built in few years ago. Of the people
surveyed more than 80 percent answered that they can relieve their stress with
various activities. They went on say that the many different activities in
shopping center such as theater, restaurant and so on let them play more
exciting. On the other hand, people who were not confronted with such a
situation, were much harder to manage their stress. This clearly proves that
building shopping center can help people enjoy their life. |
