In modern society, the most of the people always want everything for filling their desire.They will never have enough of what they want. For example, some people will keep changing phones when they find out that a phone is released in the market and they still buy it eventhough they cannot afford. Materialism had also affected people's spiritual and moral beliefs. Some people are fortunate enough to have a proper occupation that they can work hard for, but some people who are jobless or have low income can also develop avaricious characteristic.

A materialistic mind-set can drive people to overspend or buy things that they cannot afford yet. This will give a domino effect on the country's economy. Of course, the spending power of the society can help to boost the economy, as they increase sales and business opportunities. However, when people overspend to extreme ends using plastics money or credit cards and take loans that they cannot afford to repay them, the country's debt will surely rise. For instance, in Malaysia , banks are giving loans to individuals who wants to own big houses that they cannot pay for. Their inability to pay for it became one of the factors that caused the collapse of Malaysia's economy. Such materialistic attitude can bring a huge economical lost for the country .

Moreover, materialism may affect our moral values. This is because of those people who are lack of values in life where they tend to ignore the moral that sets by our ancestors and instead turn to crime to satisfy their materialistic needs. In fact, the crime rate is increasing because criminals these days have developed many ways to gain more money from society. For example, there are more reports on snatch theft, bulgaries, kidnapping for ransom, credit card fraud, internet banking hacking and so much more that are driven by materialistic criminals. Hence, when people lose sight of their morality and believe instead in the greed of materialism, therefore the crime rate is bound to increase.

They not only compete with the others on how much they earn per month or how much they have, but to look down those people which they think they are not the same level with them. In this case, it will creates an upper class people and lower class people like what they think. They become boastful because of they think they are in a higher level than other people do. Those people who are usually they use to compete with are their co-workers, family and friends. They did not treat them like a human being should be treated like, but they treat them like a competitor. They think of how to win their competitor all the time, what their competitors have, they probably should have more and more. This will leads them to become more materialistic.

Materialism has made people create unhealthy competition among them. This is because they will use extreme ways to be stronger than their opponents to prove that they have higher status. Therefore, they will go after fame and status vigorously which makes them feel good and they do not appreciate what they own around them. They only interact with people who they think have the same status as them. Besides, living in the modern era will make people have consumer-driven mindset which is fulfilling never-ending desire. At this point, they will never stop to enjoy life but to just fulfill their desire which makes them even more materialistic. Then, they will have comparison such as their status, how much luxury goods they own, etc. For example, people who can afford luxury goods will look down at people who cannot afford luxury goods. They will not interact with people who own lesser luxury goods than them. This will destroy the relationship between them with friends, families and colleagues.

Although materialism is seen as something negative, it still has some advantages. Materialism helps gain respect from people. Many people think that those who have more money may gain respect from others because they seem to have a higher social standing in the society. These people look up to those who can afford branded things such as Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and so on and so forth. If the saying you reap what you sow is true, then this will motivate more people to work harder. Therefore , materialism is not really as bad as many people perceive.
