Black Friday’s intense, anxiety inducing countdown to midnight gets credit cards fully stalked (hopefully) and cash counted and ready. Then, in a short matter of time, wallets are emptied… but it is more than their wallets that are hurting. People get so chaotic shopping on this annual-one-day-only event that they hurt one another. This is all for a good deal…. when sometimes, the deals are not even that great.
Stores get trashed, workers become overly exhausted from constantly cleaning up customers’ frequent trails of messes, and fights break out. People hurt one another to save some bucks. Why? Is it really worth instigating a fight and injuring a human being who is there in the very same store as you for the same purpose as you? No, it is not. Police getting involved in what should be regular shopping with new deals is honestly pathetic. Those Police should not have to waste their time looking after humans who are acting like animals, when they could be home enjoying love from their family or on the job doing more important work.
Then part two comes: Cyber Monday. This deals-for-one-day event is brought to the world via the internet. This is one time where the internet is actually a safe place to be. Police are not on guard to end a fight or stop people from stealing. People are not physically hurting one another. The pain is all in the money being spent (unless customers stay within their budgets).
The internet is not always the worst place to be. Sometimes, our main world, Earth, is more dangerous than online. The internet holds phenomena that the world does not offer on its own. We have to appreciate the internet, but at the same time, appreciate the world for they both hold danger and safety. The internet is a part of our world now as a whole, so removing the internet entirely could cause harm in lives as most of us have adapted to it. We have accepted a new source of danger… but we have accepted danger that is also a drastically helping hand.
Is this a positive thing? Maybe yes. Maybe no. Only time will tell.
ReplyDeleteI think you have two arguments in this blog. 1.Shop online on Monday instead of in stores on black Friday and 2. If the internet is removed it would cause harm to our lives.You should pick one argument and expand because it is hard to follow this blog.
ReplyDeleteI think this blog post would be stronger if you did not get as into the topic of black Friday. I think your best argument comes from the section of cyber Monday and I think it could be expanded upon further.
ReplyDeleteEven though the two days are connected as being huge shopping days with great deals, that is about all that they have in common with each other. I think if you took one of the ideas and expanded on it, the blog would of been easier to follow.
