Since it was announed that there is a plan to build a large shopping center in my village, there is continuous debates between people who support the plan and people who oppose. I strongly oppose the idea even though it is acceptable there are some advantages.
One of the benifits that a shopping center can provide is job opportunities. To contruct and manage a shopping center, the company will employ more people. Also, basically it is convenient for us to go shopping if it is in our neighborhood.
On the contrary, a shopping center will cause terrible traffic jams and lack of parking space. This is always happens around huge department stores in a big city. Like that, a shopping center will attract plenty of people and most of them will prefer driving a car to using public transportation because shoppers usually buy many items and it is not easy for them to take a bus with these items. It is unevitable that people will be stuck in traffic around the shopping center until they can find a place for parking.
Besides, a shopping center will destroy the peaceful atmosphere of my town. My town has been quite and serene. Shops in a center usually open from early morning to late night. This means that people gather to my town and the streets will be crowed with people. More people make louder noise and we have to endure this if we still want to live in this town. Also, lights emitting from shops until late night can cause light pollution. Light pollution is one of the serious social problems because this can interrupt sleep cycle and cause insomnia.
To sum up, it is true that there are some merits of a shopping center such as job openings and convenient shopping. However, I firmly believe that demeirts such as traffic problems, destroy of peace and some pollution are more significant and overweigh the merits. | |
