I’ve got a paper to write about consumerism…what are yalls thoughts?

In my experience, some people will value buying something just for social recognition while simultaneously look down at those who dare to present themselves in unique ways. Some will attach their life aspirations to very arbitrary consumerist concepts. Like maybe it’s because I’m not originally from the states but I can never understand why having a Dream Car is such a big deal. Like it’s a machine that takes you places! It’s not that deep!

I definitely agree that Western standards of success are far more materialistic than in other places. That’s why I feel the gap between the rich and the poor is SO HUGE. and it’s crazy because the life of these goods (or just “””stuff”””) is so short-lived. Like a lot of the stuff we buy, we use it for 6 months at most and then just discard it. So did it give us satisfaction or status in the first place? It’s all so systemic and corrupt

The entire concept is marketed as a necessity to the public, which adds to it’s brainwashing qualities. Like we are conditioned to believe we MUST acquire as much stuff as we can in order to be happy.
