选项
答案
Throw Away Damaged Things Rather Than Repair It In the past, repairing damaged things was normal. Nevertheless, now it is not difficult to find people would rather throw away damaged things and buy new ones than repair them. What has brought about this? And what challenges may this bring? There are many factors responsible for the phenomenon. First of all, the repair cost is not much less than a replacement cost. For example, fixing a broken laptop or a cracked smartphone screen is almost as pricey as buying a new one. In this case, people would rather spend a little more and get a new laptop or a new phone. Secondly, with the rapid advancement of science and technology, products are upgraded at an unprecedented rate, and many people are more willing to replace broken products with the newest generation instead of repairing them. For instance, faced with the problem of how to deal with a broken laptop, not a few people would choose to buy the latest model. Thirdly, time is also an important factor that influences people’s decisions. In this fast-paced world, saving time by purchasing new products is more attractive than wasting time in repairing damaged ones. After all, the process of repairing involves at least two time-consuming stages, identifying the problem and fixing it. Admittedly, tossing away broken stuff does save people a lot of trouble. However, this kind of lifestyle would also bring challenges. To begin with, it goes without saying that it would result in a waste of resources, particularly when these items are still within their service life. A malfunctioning fridge may work for another several years if it gets fixed. What’s more, this behavior would encourage "planned obsolescence", a business strategy in which manufacturers deliberately shorten the life of products so that consumers would have to spend money in purchasing new ones. Last but not least, those broken items, once discarded as trash, would pose a threat to the environment and increase the expenditure on waste treatment. Obviously, this model runs counter to the concept of circular economy and people should pay attention to these challenges. By and large, although replacing damaged things with brand new items provides people great convenience, it is a waste of resources especially when those items are not totally worn off. And the stuff people discard is also a heavy burden to the economy and the environment. People should stay alert when they enjoy the benefit.
