Some people believe that companies should manufacture products that last for a long time. Others feel that the emphasis should be placed on producing goods that are cheap. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Since the advent of the industrial age, manufacturing industries have been plagued with a dilemma, to manufacture long-lasting products, albeit a bit expensive, or to concentrate on producing inexpensive products on a large scale. This essay will discuss both these options and advocate the production of quality products that serve the user for a substantial period of time.
Industries today churn out a plethora of products, from hairpins to aeroplanes, with an equally diverse range of price tags for each. Although the average consumer would no doubt always opt for a longer lasting alternative given the choice, it has to be borne in mind that the durability of a product is, in most cases, a reflection of the money it costs to produce.
