Consumerism

In recent days, there have been ongoing discussions about Consumerism.

People should choose the best option that best product. Some say that something
store are overly concerned with material goods. In my opinion people have the option
to search technological breakthroughs.

To start, it is important to talk about Origin of Consumerism. First,

Consumerism has strong links with the Western world. For example, people
purchasing goods and consuming materials in excess of their basic needs is as old
as the first civilizations. Second, capitalist development and the industrial revolution
were primarily focused on the capital goods sector and industrial infrastructure. For
instance, mining, steel, oil, transportation networks, communication networks,
industrial cities, financial centers. Third, the domestic theorist of the famous say. To
illustrate, consumer engineering must see to it that we use up the kind of goods we
now merely use.

To begin with, it is relevant to talk about Meaning of Consumerism. First,

consumerism is a social and economic order. For example, is based on the
systematic creation and fostering of a desire to purchase goods or services. Second,
it also may refer to a movement seeking to protect and inform consumers by
requiring such practices. For instance, honest packaging and advertising, product
guarantees, and improved safety standards. Third, it is a movement or a set of
policies. To illustrate, aimed at regulating the products, services, methods, and
standards of manufacturers, sellers, and advertisers in the interests of the buyer.

In addition to the meaning of consumerism, it is necessary to mention the

Need and Reasons of Consumerism. First, the need of strong consumerism in the
country is on account of the following reason. For example, the people linguistic,
cultural and religious difference which makes the problems quiet complex. Second,
various individuals and groups have consciously sought an alternative lifestyle. For
instance, such as the simple living, eco-conscious, and local over or buy local
movements. Third, Issues relating to consumption hence also affect environmental
degradation. To illustrate, poverty, hunger, and even the rise in obesity that is
nearing levels similar to the official global poverty levels. In conclusion, in many
critical contexts, consumerism is 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

Having the option to promote by those who profit from consumerism, is to

accelerate the discarding of the old, either because of lack of durability or a change
in fashion. Consumerism is defined by Richard and James as organized efforts of
consumers seeking redress, restitution and remedy for dissatisfaction they have
accumulated in the acquisition of their standard of living. So, based on the facts, why
would we raise consumer prices if poverty increases?
