CONSUMERISM

Nos dias de hoje, o consumismo enraizou-se profundamente na vida dos

adolescentes, transformando o ato de comprar bens e serviços numa grande
preocupação.
Esta tendência é alimentada pelos meios de publicidade que bombardeiam
incansavelmente os adolescentes com mensagens que exaltam as virtudes dos
bens materiais, apresentando uma versão idealizada da vida que associa a
felicidade com a acumulação de bens. Os adolescentes correm o risco de
dependerem dos bens materiais para se sentirem realizados o que pode
conduzir a sentimentos de insatisfação e inadequação.
Para além disso, as plataformas das redes sociais, por meios de algoritmos e
análise de dados, são capazes de personalizar a experiência do usuário,
apresentando anúncios de produtos que são altamente relevantes para cada
indivíduo. Por exemplo, se um usuário segue páginas de receitas, é provável
que receba recomendações de livros de receitas ou utensílios de cozinha. A
facilidade e praticidade das compras online contribuem ainda mais para a
compras desenfreadas, que muitas das vezes não refletem as necessidades
dos jovens.Este consumo excessivo acarreta profundas implicações
ambientais, contribuindo para o esgotamento dos recursos e degradação dos
ecossistemas.
Por todas as questões que mencionei acima é imperativo que os adolescentes
tomem decisões mais conscientes apostando em roupas duráveis ao invés de
roupas baratas mas que se estragam facilmente, sensibilizando-os para os
impactos ambientais do consumismo desenfrado e a fazer escolhas mais
refletidas para que comprem somente aquilo de que necessitam.
 CONSUMERISM

Nowadays, consumerism has taken deep root in the lives of teenagers, turning
the act of buying goods and services into a major concern.

This trend is fueled by the advertising media that relentlessly bombard

teenagers with messages thatextol the virtues of material
possessions,presenting an idealized version of life that associates happiness
with the accumulation of possessions. Adolescents are at risk of depending on
material possessions to feel fulfilled, which can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction
and inadequacy.

In addition, social media platforms, through algorithms and data analysis, are
able to personalize the user experience by presenting product ads that are
highly relevant to each individual. For example, if a user follows pages of
recipes, they are likely to receive recommendations for cookbooks or kitchen
appliances. The ease and practicality of online shopping further contributes to
unbridled shopping, which often does not reflect the needs of young people.This
overconsumption has profound environmental implications,contributing to the
depletion of resources and the degradation of ecosystems.

For all the issues I mentioned above, it is imperative that teenagers make more
conscious decisions,betting on durable clothes instead of cheap clothes that are
easily damaged, making them aware of the environmental impacts of unbridled
consumerism and making more thoughtful choices so that they buy only what
they need.
