Almost every day we e across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something 41 but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by panies and advertisers hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly 42 . Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, 43 in the costomer giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods 44 in almost every family are not 45 needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the 46 , lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products e on the market. Advances in 47 and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The 48 example is puters, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. So gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing: no choice, no 49 .41. J 42. F 43. H 44. G 45. E 46. C 47. I 48. D 49. B
