Nowadays, people discard things when they get ruined, however, in the ancient times, the people used to get them altered and repaired to use them for a longer time. My essay will shed some light on this perspective and will reveal the outcomes of this change.
To commence with, the elderly people were attached to their things emotionally as they do care for their personal things and belonging. They believe in keeping things for a longer time due to emotional attachment. For example, once upon a time my aunt told me that she brought a toy to her home after getting married as it was a gift from her mother. And it was a gesture of love and care. It is very rare to see such a type of care in the present time.
The effect of these kinds of changes have adverse effects on children, as they become emotionless and take things for granted. Because if their toy gets damaged, they simply put them into a bin and go for the next one without even realising the value of money. For example, one of my cousins got an ipad and it had some display issues after using it for a while. She simply put it into the garbage and went to her parents for the updated one without even going to the service center. It is clearly seen that now, children have no feelings of spending a lot on these kinds of activities.
In a nutshell, it is very important to understand the worth of the thing and emotion at the same time and aware those parents who buy things for their offspring with close eyes.
