[04:16.44]Text:The"Supermarketing"of America
[04:22.74]Drive through an American city or suburb,
[04:28.85]and you will see large spaces where huge stores are grouped together,
[04:37.94]sometimes even under one roof.
[04:42.64]The construction of new supermarkets and shopping centers
[04:50.95]has been continuing over the past forty years.
[04:57.85]Supermarkets continue to appear
[05:04.46]because they offer the consumera wide choice of products in one place
[05:13.86]anything from food to small appliances³.
[05:21.46]Because so many goods are sold,
[05:26.95]supermarkets can offer lower⁴ prices than smaller neighbourhood stores can.
[05:38.05]The convenience and value of large stores and shopping areas
[05:48.76]have made them an essential⁵ part of the way Americans shop.
[05:57.17]With the rise of supermarkets and shopping centers,
[06:06.86]American society has experienced⁶ a number of changes.
[06:14.86]Most obviously⁷, many small neighbourhood stores have disappeared,
[06:26.77]driven out of business by the larger stores.
[06:33.27]Another change is that Americans are now more isolated⁸.
[06:42.68]In the neighbourhood store,
[06:47.88]the owner knew all about the customers and their families.
[06:54.67]People in the neighbourhood could gather and talk there.
[07:02.66]Now Americans shop in huge spaces,
[07:11.33]where no one knows anyone else.
[07:16.32]Supermarkets have made shopping more impersonal⁹.
[07:25.02]It is clear that the number of supermarkets
[07:33.33]and large shopping areas is still increasing.
[07:39.13]The pattern of"bigger is better"will probably continue into the future.
