Online Shopping:

Reasons:
Folks are growing increasingly sluggish continually. If we find a way to do everything
from the comfort of our own home without leaving the couch - we will do it, no doubt!

And we did manage to figure out how to shop without going shopping - online. It is faster and
easier. With overnight deliveries, minimum shipping fees, and good return policies, I can’t seem
to think of a good reason to go shopping in a brick and mortar, anymore.

On one hand, people feel much more comfortable trying out clothes at home, rather than in a
stuffy changing room rushed by the next person.

On the other hand, it is much easier to compare prices and ingredients for example with just a
few clicks rather than running from store to store.

Benefits of Online Shopping:


There are lots of distinct advantages of online shopping:

TIME CONVENIENCE

In comparison to a brick-and-mortar store with fixed hours, online shopping venues are available
any time, day or night. This is especially useful for parents with small children, anyone who
works throughout the day, and during times of inclement weather.

SHOPPING APPS

No matter who you are, shopping from an app is one of the most convenient luxuries. Whether
you're homebound or able to visit a store, shopping from your phone is a uniquely awesome
experience.

PRICE COMPARISONS

When you visit a store, you most likely settle for whatever price the vendor has placed on a
particular item. With online shopping, you can compare prices from hundreds of different
vendors. Grocery store price comparison apps are one example.

DISCOUNTS AND NOTIFICATIONS

Online stores want to keep you as a customer, so they may offer deep discounts, rewards, and
cash back if you sign up for their newsletters. This can keep you updated on all the best
upcoming sales. Coupon codes—like the ones you can get from these coupon code sites—are
also extremely popular when shopping online.
INFINITE CHOICE

Shelf space in a physical store is limited, which means your variety of goods is limited. This isn't
true with online stores where choices are overwhelmingly abundant. If you don't see what you
want at one store online, you can move on to the next one. As the consumer, you have the power
to do that.

Disadvantages of Online Shopping:

Here are a few disadvantages of internet shopping that might deter you from making your next
purchase online:

YOU CAN'T TRY THINGS ON

If you're buying clothes online, you can't feel the material, see how it fits around your waist, or
notice how it's made. Unless you know your measurements and are familiar with the brand of
clothing offered, this could end up being a bad experience. Most online stores make it easy for
you to return items for this reason. Clothing websites also usually post detailed measurement and
fabric information to minimize returns. 

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS TALK TO SOMEONE IMMEDIATELY

If you have a question about what you're about to order, or what you just ordered but want to
return, you may have to wait a full day or longer to get your question answered. This situation is
improving, however, as many sites have added an instant chat service to address concerns and
answer questions on the spot.

MUST WAIT FOR DELIVERY

Need something no later than this afternoon? Not many online shopping sites have same-day
delivery, and none of them offer the on-the-spot, take-home advantage that a physical store does.
In fact, some online shopping sites take weeks to deliver your order (though, they're in the
minority).

SHIPPING COSTS

Depending on what you're buying, you could spend the same amount on just shipping costs, or
sometimes even more. In-store shopping has no need to charge extra for shipping.

PRIVACY AND SECURITY

Privacy and security are legitimate concerns for any online shopper. Your payment information
could get stolen from the site or someone who works there could copy your bank details and use
them later on their own purchases. It's also hard to immediately recognize whether an online
store is real or just there to scam you.
Moving to another country:
Moving abroad is becoming more and more popular and has plenty of benefits such as travelling
to new places, meeting new people and cultures. For some people, moving abroad is a necessity,
while for others it’s a choice. People are more willing to relocate abroad for work, relationships
or just a new adventure.
Things develop quickly, economies are changing and people become more courageous and
fearless. For students, it has become a normal and natural thing to have at least one international
experience, but now, young professionals are embracing this more and more as well. In the end,
some settle in a whole new country for good, while others keep on wandering to new places all
the time.
Reasons:
The reasons people move abroad differ from person to person, but we think these are the main
ones:
 To Escape Conflict Zones:
This is one of the older and most common causes of immigration people feel the
need to leave their country of birth to escape conflict and fell safe. Individuals living in
war-torn countries, feel the need to immigrate to get away from the fighting and to
escape danger.
 Due To Environmental Factors
Climate change also has a responsibility for immigration, with the continually
over nature through force. Sometimes nature strikes back rendering man homeless and
helpless. Due to sudden storms, floods, tsunamis, and several other natural disasters
people need to flee and seek asylum in another relatively safer environment.

 Escape Poverty
Can be a big difference between salaries and working conditions between
countries, many developed countries provide a social network that makes those countries
attractive for people from less developed countries. Also, many people immigrate to
escape from high unemployment and lack of opportunities in their home country.

 High Standard Of Living


By moving to a different nation, you people are looking for a higher standard of
living. Not talking only about money but cleaner, healthier, and a better quality of life.

 Personal Needs
Some people genuinely believe they belong in a different country. Many times minorities
(religious) seen the need to move from their home country to a more tolerant nation, so
they can begin the life they always wanted.

 Higher Education

This is one of the top reasons people immigrate, especially the younger ones are
to pursue higher education in a field that can be not available in their country, or better
universities are available abroad. Once you move to study many times, they enjoy better
their new place and extend their stay indefinitely.

 Family Influences

When a family member moves abroad, and friend and family from back home can
see how well they’ve settled in, developing a new life and enjoying their new lifestyle it
adds an aspiration value of moving too. It also gives you enough stimulus to think that
you will have someone to support you when you initially move.

   Advertisement offer a better life

Have been cases during history that countries offer excellent conditions and initial
support to immigrants that fulfil certain requirements, like for example knowing the language,
certain age or ready to live in a particular area of the welcoming country.

  Be Closer to Nature

Many people shift their entire lives, leaving their old life behind so that they can
live closer to nature. It happens more frequently than you may think.

Pros of moving to another country:

 Moving Abroad Is Very Exciting


Especially when your life has become monotonous, nothing beats leaving
everything behind and moving away. It’s great to discover a new world, sometimes
completely different from your own and to discover other ways of doing things.
 You Meet Lots Of New People And Make New Friends.
You often meet people from different cultures and from all walks of life.
 You Travel To Many Fabulous Places
Every new country offers new travel opportunities and it’s a chance to see the
world!
 A Great Opportunity to Change Your Job or Learn Something New
If you move abroad and need to look for a new job then this may be a good time
to try something new. Certainly if you are a spouse traveling with your partner then this
might be a great opportunity to study again or finally focus on those goals that you
always wanted to achieve but never had time for.
I took the chance to start up my own business and finally created this site, which
is now my full-time thriving business. It’s ideal since it’s totally web-based and I can take
it with me, no matter where my travels take me!
 You Become a World Citizen
You tend to get more open minded and realize that there is not just one way of
doing things. You realize that we live in a global world and it just makes more sense to
work together, as in the end, we all have the same needs and wants. The world is
your oyster!
 It enhances your communication skills
When you get a chance to live abroad, you get an opportunity to interact with
people from different backgrounds. It gives you the opportunity to learn a new language
and enhances your communication skills, which brings great benefits for your future
career prospects.
 You will be able to immerse yourself into another culture
Depending on where you come from, there are stereotypes that you develop about
people and their culture. But when you live abroad, you interact with the same people and
begin to understand them. You start to realize that the things you heard about them were
not correct. It gives insight into their culture and makes you know them even better. 
 A Sense of Accomplishment
When you look back on the time you spent in another country, you will be able to
look back with fond memories and feel proud about the fact you were able to deal
with the stress which came with moving to another country.
You will notice how much you have achieved in your new country: you have
made new friends, found a good place to live and got to understand and adjust to a
new culture… You have grown as a person and that experience is incredibly
valuable and truly unique!

Cons of living abroad


 Challenges in adapting
The first challenge people who live abroad encounter is to adjust to the culture of
their host country.  It is difficult to get used to the host countries’ currency or
driving on their roads. Also, it is a daunting task to adapt to their customs. Lastly,
it may be difficult for you to adjust to the new cuisine and unfamiliar
conventions. 
 Homesickness
Feeling homesick is a significant challenge for people who choose to live and
work abroad. If your home is thousands of miles away, and your financial situation does
not allow you to visit them frequently, it may take more time before you settle down.

 New weather patterns


Unless you are moving to a neighboring country, you will have problems
adjusting to the new weather in a foreign country. For instance, if you’re you are moving
from Africa to Europe, you will get challenges adapting to the winter and summer
periods. If you are not used to low temperatures, you must be prepared for them during
the winter. Similarly, some countries experience very high temperatures during the
summer. It may be a big challenge for some people. 

 Language barrier
If you’re moving to a new country that has a native language different from yours,
you’re bound to experience communication barriers. But even if you speak a
language, the first impact will be awful, because they speak differently the way
you’ve learn. You need to focus and concentrate even if at the end of the day
you’ll get a terrible headache.
