题目如下： "people often complain that products are not made to last. They feel that making products that wear out fairly quickly wastes both natural and human resources. What they fail to see, however, is that such manufacturing practices keep costs down for the consumer and stimulate demand."

These ranges of products do function as the counter-argument. 4. However, not all products are of such nature. Bla bla bla Concl: we need to differentiate and categorize.
