Nowadays, we are living in a throw-away

society. What are its causes and what are its

problems? What could be done to address

this issue?

Give reasons for your answer and include any

relevant examples from your own knowledge or

experience. Write at least 250 words.

Model Answer:

Nowadays, we have adopted the throw-away

lifestyle and over-consumption and excessive

production of short-lived or disposable items is a

global phenomenon which is making the

condition even worse. Consumerism, rapid

advancement of technology, changing lifestyle

and globalisation are some of the main reasons

which are contributing to this phenomenon even

more. The effect of this trend is so extraordinary

and deep that it will someday challenge our own

existence and implementation of effective

measures should be immediately taken.

Consumerism is a social and economic

ideology that encourages people to acquire

more products and services in an ever-increasing amount. Our materialistic lifestyle

fuels this habit and we change our cell phones,

cars and other household equipment more

frequently than ever. Advertising plays a major

role in creating a consumerist society and we

are never contented with the things we have and

want to acquire more than we need. Shopping is

no longer a necessity and has turned out to be

an activity for many. Thus we are producing an

overwhelming amount of wastages and a little

effort has been in place to recycle many of our

used items.

The rapid advancement of technology often

forces us to buy latest products as new products

have better features than the one we own. The

rise of the middle-income people globally and

their desire to mimic rich people and adopt a

technology centric lifestyle also the reasons for

the increasing waste productions as a result of

our throw-away lifestyle. Our traditional lifestyle

and skills are almost gone and we want to buy

everything rather than creating them.

For instance, the number of people who rely on

canned and packet food rather than cooking at

home is a great example that shows the

paradigm shift towards a busy and ready-made

social lifestyle.

Finally, the globalisation has immensely

contributed towards our inclination to a throw-away society we are living in. The problems that

the throw-away society and consumerism

tendency create are overwhelming. This is a

degradation of human moral as a massive

number of poor people are starving, on one

hand, million tonnes of foods are being wasted

in few countries on the other hand. The toxic

waste and chemical garbage are polluting our

environment while we are remaining busy to buy

more electronic products. The global warming,

temperature rise, extinction of many species are

just the beginning and if we fail to take effective

measures to stop this heinous trend, we will be

destroying our future.

There are many steps that should be

immediately in place to address this issue. Non-recyclable packets, bags and goods should be

restricted as much as possible. The environment

friendly goods should be manufactured and

used by people and elements like plastic bags

should be totally banned. Every household

wastes should be classified as recyclable and

non-recyclable and recyclable waste should be

used to produce new products rather than

throwing them away. The government, as well

as individuals\' cumulative efforts to reduce the

wastage production and to save the environment,

should be in place.

To conclude, no doubt our ignorance and desire

to have more have contributed towards the

creation of a throwaway society. Advancement

of technology, globalisation, social and

economic structure have all fueled this trend

even faster. But the time has come for us to step

forward and think about the future of the mother

planet and take steps to revert the damage.
