It is sometimes argued that people have relatively more choices than in the past. Considering the changes brought about by industrial revolution and the effects of globalization, I completely support the viewpoint.
To begin with, it is worth mentioning that never before, in any period in history, has the world been so developed that people now are more concerned about the abundance of choices rather than the lack of them. Particularly, the developments that followed the industrial revolution led to an unprecedented freedom of choice, for the competition among entrepreneurs to accommodate people’s needs correspondingly rose. As more and more business owners started to enter ever-increasing harsh environment of business, they had to come up with new ideas of selling their product or service. Therefore, the very fierce competition resulted in generating excessive number of choices available to people.
Besides the industrial revolution, globalization also has its fair share in huge number of choices available for people now. Globalization, a process that helps a business to become ubiquitous, has led to realization that people have more choices than their country can offer. For example, the spread of KFC, McDonald’s, King Burger, … etc. generated more options for people to choose one from while deciding what to eat. Furthermore, the internet has been of great significance to boost globalization round the world. The fact that it now has more than three billion active users makes it a perfect platform to run a business, and thus creating even more choices to people who are already perplexed with too many available choices.
To sum up, I believe that it is impossible for someone to overlook the fact that there is more freedom of choice now than ever before. Also, I think that this is the direct result of an intense competition among business people trying to meet people’s needs and globalization which is getting faster due to the existence of the internet.
