Analitycal exposition about Street Vendors

Introduction

Analytical exposition is a kind of text which explaining something clearly. It has four parts that is introduction, benefit, disadvantages, and conclusion. This kind of this text is argumentative because it makes readers have their own opinion that maybe different from other readers. This day, I’m going post analytical exposition about advantages, disadvantages, and solution about street vendors.

Street Vendors

Street vendors or “kaki lima” in Indonesian is a shop that is usually stand on pedestrian or even lay down on the road. They sell a lot of thing.

There is not much benefit we can take from their existent. They can make the surrounding environment crowded and messy. They also use illegal place to shop and that leads to a bad city landscape. They broke pedestrian ways, gardens, roads, and they don’t care about the surrounding environments.

But some folks may say that street vendors are useful. The benefits are, we don’t have to park our carriage, or even wasting our time to find something we barely need. The goods displayed in front of us instantly, and the price is much cheaper than in the supermarket.

Street vendors are actually an urban problem because their disadvantages are larger than its advantages. They block pedestrian or maybe even main roads. This might lead to dirt, garbage, crime and other environmental/social issues.
Street vendors attract people migration from rural to urban area, which add another issue for city management.

There is not much benefit we can have from street vendors. The bigger issues will rise by the tremendous growth of street vendors. Street vendors should be relocated into one integrated shopping place. This place should be convenient and has a cheap market price. This can make the seller and the buyer happy, but also make an economic growth for the people without ruining the environment.

That’s it. Thank you for reading my analytical exposition.
