   On Excessive Packaging

  Nowadays, with the rapid development of national economy and elevation1 of cultural demands, more and more commodities with luxury packaging appear in stores or supermarkets. Lots of people select these commodities to present as gifts to bosses, friends or relatives at festivals.
  This phenomenon, which resulted by several factors, arouses hot discussions among people. One of these reasons is the psychology2 of extravagance-showing among people of all ranks. They tend to feel inferior if their presents look common and simple. On the other hand, lots of merchants, out of the consideration of their commercial profits, use all their efforts to promote their goods, which need to be luxuriously3 packaged as to meet the demands of market. Last but not the least, some people select these over packaging commodities to please their bosses in order to get a promotion4.
  Overall, this phenomenon is an outcome of the market economy. It can promote the development of economy, but, at the same time, leads to the corruption5 of social morality. We should take all measures to reduce the production of these commodities as to control social environment.
