Shopping Festival Debate: Pros and Cons of Black Friday and Cyber Monday

A: Do you like shopping festivals like 'Black Friday' or 'Cyber Monday'?

B: I have mixed feelings about them. On one hand, I enjoy the discounts and deals that come with these shopping festivals. On the other hand, I find the consumerism and materialism that they promote to be overwhelming.

A: I can understand that. It seems like these shopping festivals have turned into a competition for who can get the best deals rather than a time to enjoy shopping.

B: Yes, and I also worry about the environmental impact of these festivals. The amount of packaging and waste generated during these events is staggering.

A: That's a good point. However, I do appreciate the convenience of being able to shop online and avoid the crowds and chaos of physical stores.

B: I can see that. Overall, I think these shopping festivals have their pros and cons, and it's up to each individual to decide whether they want to participate or not.
