Option2: 

Nowadays Black Friday has become the biggest shopping day in many cities in the world. It is originated in the USA, but out of there it is also known. In this day many people take advantage to buy Christmas presents.

Personally, I think this day it is necessary because there are a lot of discounts and you can buy many things cheaper. And it is in a good season since it is just before Christmas, when many people would go to the shopping centre even if there were not discounted, so it is a benefit for them.

However, you have to buy things that you need or that you know the original price, because if not you are doing what shop owners want you to do that is buy things which you wouldn’t buy without any discount, increasing consumerism. Also, many shops cheat on you, for example saying that it is 50% and actually it is 20%, and if you don’t know the original price you would think that it is 50% while it is 20%.

All in all, I believe Black Friday is a good day to go shopping and to buy things cheaper. Despite the fact that you shouldn’t buy “extra” things because you would be falling on the consumerism.
