| << It seems that goods that are hade made are better than those are by machines. Although the latter have their advantages in their cheaper prices, the former is preferable if ones can afford to buy them. This is due to the fact that these hand-made products are more quality than the other. It is arguable that hand-made goods are better than machine made ones, for these products have higher quality standards. When the goods are made by hands, the person who makes them pays attention to each single product she or he makes and work on them one by one. Whole through these processes, they make the products with his or her possible best skills and try to make the goods as nice as they can be. The goods made by skilled makers therefore have high quality than machine-made ones. Moreover, through these processes of making hand-made goods such as furniture, clothes and so forth, the goods come to have unique characteristics and designs to the person who make, because they are made by him or her who has different tastes and skills from other makers. This uniqueness also adds to the quality of the hand-made goods. Supposing that you buy a vase, you can purchase one made either by hands or machines. The former seems more quality because the whole process where one made was taken by a single artist who designs it, made the shape, paint on and so on with his or her carefulness and uniqueness. Furthermore, this vase us unique to the artists, and there is no other vase that has exactly the same shape and paintings. Even if the artists made more than one vases based on the same design, this still holds true because humans cannot make exactly the same thing twice. Despite the preference of the hand-made goods, there are some advantages in machine-made goods as well, that is, the cost for machine made goods are much lower. When the goods are made bay machines. They are usually made in large factories and made through lots of machines for mass production. When this occur, it is possible for the factory to produce huge number of identical goods at once, which reduces the cost of production thus to prices at which consumers purchase the goods. For example, the clothes made by machines are cheaper than those of hand-made ones, as it is cheaper to mass- produce a large number of clothes with using machine, which makes the production more effective due to the economy of scale and saves the factories labour costs. This will definitely lead to lower price of the clothes when they are sold on the stores. In terms of cost, therefore, machine made goods are better than hand-made. This is one of important issue, because many people do not have enough purchasing power to buy everything hand-made. I myself can hardly afford to buy hand-made goods such as clothes or such. However, if I come to think if it is better in terms quality irrespective to my purchasing power, I would say hand-made ones are better due to the higher quality and their uniqueness. In conclusion, the hand-made goods seems better than machine-made ones, the former have more high quality including their uniqueness. The machine made goods are better in terms of the lower prices that can offer, however, the hand-made with its high quality seems better. |
