First, do not delete my feedback/notes to you.  They are helpful to you AND me each time we return to the padlet.

You need SEPARATE comments for each piece of evidence.  Maybe number or letter them, put each in a different post.  They're all cluttered and I don't know which is which.

Also, you need to fix your citations - follow format (last name page number), after the evidence.

It doesn't seem to make sense to suggest that there might be such a thing as 'good materialism': after all, surely materialism is just plain bad? When people want to pinpoint the root cause of corruption in our age, they generally only need to point the finger at our attachment to material things. We're apparently sick because we're so materialistic.

It can seem as if we're faced with a stark choice. you can be materialistic: obsessed with money and possessions, shallow and selfish. , you can reject materialism, be good and focus on more important matters of the spirit.

But most of us are, in our hearts, stuck somewhere between these two choices, which is uncomfortable. We are still enmeshed in the desire to possess - but we are encouraged to feel rather bad about it.

Yet, crucially, it's not actually materialism - the pure fact of buying things and getting excited by possessions - that's ever really the problem. We're failing to make a clear distinction between and versions of materialism.

Let's try to understand good materialism through a slightly unusual route: religion. Because we see them as focused exclusively on spiritual things, it can be surprising to note how much use religions have made of material things. They have spent a lot time making, and thinking about scrolls to hang in your house, shrines, temples, monasteries, art-works, clothes, ceremonies.

However, they have cared about these things for one reason only - because they have wanted material things to serve the highest and noblest purpose: the development of our souls. It is just that they have recognised that we are incarnate sensory bodily beings - and that the way to get through to our souls has to be, at least in part, through our bodies (rather than merely through the intellect).

Material objects in the service of spiritual growth: Frari Church, Venice.

The importance of material things was, for centuries, at the core of Christianity, which proposed that Jesus was both the highest spiritual being, and a flesh and blood person: he was the spirit incarnate; holiness em bodied.

Jesus tells his followers about his theory of good materialism: transubstantiation: Vicente Masip - The Last Supper 1562

In the Catholic Mass, great significance is accorded to bread and wine, which are believed to be transubstantiations of Christ; that is, material objects which simultaneously have a spiritual identity, just as Jesus himself combined the spiritual and the bodily while on earth.

This can sound like a very weird and arcane point entirely removed from the local shopping mall - but exactly the same concept actually applies outside of religions. Many good material possession can be said to involve a kind of 'transubstantiation', whereby they are both practical and physical and also embody or allude to a positive personality or spirit.

Take the Cartier Tank watch. To the outer eye, it is an ordinary time-piece, but at a psychological level, it is also a kind of transubstantiation. It tells the time, while subtly hinting at more psychological or even spiritual ideals of purity, simplicity and harmony. It tells us how long there is till lunch, while gently trying to nudge us towards being a certain sort of person.

Or take this chair.

It too 'transubstantiates' a set of important values: straightforwardness, strength, honesty and elegance. By getting closer to the chair, we stand to become a little more like it, which is an important piece of inner evolution.

Material objects can therefore be said to play a positive psychological (or spiritual) role in our lives when higher more positive ideals are 'materialised' in them, and so when buying and using them daily gives us a chance to get closer to our better selves. When they are contained in physical things, valuable psychological qualities that are otherwise often intermittent in our thoughts and conduct can become more stable and resilient.

This is not to say that all consumerism just conveniently turns out to be great. It depends on what a given material object stands for. An object can transubstantiate the very worst sides of human nature - greed, callousness, the desire to triumph - as much as it can the best. So we must be careful not to decry or celebrate all material consumption: we have to ensure that the objects we invest in, and tire ourselves and the planet by making, are those that lend most encouragement to our higher, better natures.

" hope shell be a fool that's the best thing a girl can be in the world , a beautiful little fool ."  Fitzgerald pg.17
"He wasn't fit to lick my shoe ." Fitzgerald pg.34

comments :  When Fitzgerald described feminism in the first quote he actually made it to where Daisy hopes her daughter is not smart enough to realize her husband cheat which is kinda weird .
Feminism still goes on to this day feminism more or less is encouraging other women to be their best self which is why Fitzgerald sad he wasn't fit to lick my shoe .

"Tom's got some woman in New York ."  Fitzgerald Pg.15
" We haven't met for many years said Daisy ,her voice as matter of fact as it could ever be ." Fitzgerald pg.87

comments : When Fitzgerald said "Toms got some woman in New York "  it proved cheating has happened since then and to this day . According to American Psychological Association 20 to 40 % of marriages  end in divorce because of adultery.
I feel like Fitzgerald  is said in the second quote basically everyone one is a hoe in the book . Basically everyone is cheating . At the top of my head i can think of Gatsby and daisy and Tom .

"On the weekends his rolls Royce became an omnibus , bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all his train." Fitzgerald pg. 39

"Here is the money go buy ten more ."   Fitzgerald pg.28

comments: The first qote Fitzgerald is saying that Gatsby maybe like all people that are rich  have to hide or put on a show to life up the expectations that other people expect maybe its just as little as hiding your station wagon .
When Fitzgerald said "here is the money go buy ten more" I don't agree with Fitzgerald  my Aunt and Uncle are both rich and yes they have very nice things but  they didn't forget were they came from .
