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.
