Large shopping centers are growing in numbers in many places. If one of the large shopping center will be built in our neighborhood, some might be pleased because they can shop not far from their home. And there might be some advantages of a large shopping center in our village. However, there must be problems if that will be come in my neighborhood in two reasons. At first, our village is small and silent so that there have been no traffic jams, crimes and other social problems. If a large shopping center will be built in our village, many people from other places will rush into our village in order to shop. Then, probably our village will be crowed seriously with cars from other places especially on times when people finish their work because most people go to market after work. Moreover, Being crowded with people from other places, then more accidents or crimes will be happen. In other words, our village will be more dangerous area. In effect, news papers and TV news shows more inauspicious events recently. I do not want to trade safety with convenience. Second, there are many retailers and small shops in our village. If a shopping center invade their market, most of them will be closed because they are too weak to compete with conglomerates. Actually, many large shopping centers replaced small shops in towns and they got the power in the market. When there are many retailers in the market, they compete with contestants and customers can purchase goods at a reasonable price. However, if there is only one seller, a large shopping center, there will be no market price and customers buy goods in the shopping center inevitably since there are no alternatives. Moreover, many inhabitants runs small stores in the village. None of them wiil agree to allow a shopping center in our village. All in all, I can not allow a large shopping center in our village because it must damage our village in the end. A large shopping center will bring social problems to our village and our village's economy get hit by a large capital strength. |
