Brand Shopping: Pros and Cons

I would like to recommend you a restaurant where you will eat the best meat in the city.

It is very usual among young people to buy items just because of their brands. Shops and marketing focus their efforts on promoting these brands.

Pros of Brand Shopping

  • Buying brand names is a way of improving your social image.
  • Buying well-known products is a good option if you are looking for quality.

Cons of Brand Shopping

  • Brand shopping is much more expensive.
  • Acquiring low-cost products is better for your economy.
  • You can save money and use it for better plans than buying clothes.
  • It's true that brand-name products can be more fashionable and even poshy. However, money is important too.

Living Longer: Pros and Cons

Nowadays, our life expectancy is about 80 years. Decades ago, life expectancy was shorter, around 60 years. It is clear that medicine development has helped us a lot. In the time coming, we hope to live more than 100 years.

Pros of Living Longer

  • It will be great living up to 100 years old.
  • We will be able to live in very different ways.
  • We will have time to do a lot of things and try new inventions.

Cons of Living Longer

  • We don't know if living so much time will cause us new health problems such as Alzheimer's or dementia.
  • Maybe it will be hard to pay the costs of elderly people.

In my opinion, I want to live as much as possible. I'm sure they will invent something to keep people sane in old ages.
