Consumerism

Consumerism is an attraction for a product or a service using a set of irresponsible and dangerous behaviours. Consumerism is also used to describe the tendency of people to identify strongly with products or services they consume, especially those with commercial brand names and perceived status-symbolism appeal. For example: luxury automobile, designer clothing or expensive jewellery. A culture that is permeated by consumerism can be referred to as a consumer culture or a market culture.


I think that many products are luxuries and superfluous. Amount of people consume these products in order to benefice as social indicator allowing people to recognize each other by the clothes and the things they use. I believe that this way of thinking is completely wrong. We should have our own personality because we are not what we buy. I suppose that this consumer society is connected with a decrease of the self-confidence. Today people are more insecure and they need to feel that they are important people or with expensive clothes to feel great with them. I am critiquing these market cultures because these cultures are damaging the environment and they contribute to climate change, global warming, air pollution, greenhouse effect and all these problems will causes another problems like toxic waste floods and tornados because this troubles is like an avalanche for the reason that every problems causes another problems and it becomes in a vicious cycle without end. However this violent movement takes many economical drawbacks, too. This movement can take many companies to bankrupt and another’s serious consequences.


I appeal to all people in the world to fight against this big trouble. That was the reason I choose this subject: I am intending to save the world from a big impact.
