They are us; they incarnate the way we think and act. If we are what we buy, then we need to buy in order to be. ephrem_wellenbrock https://padlet.com/ephrem_wellenbrock/4mxsi1n5mz4igrzv/wish/1915536423 2021-11-27 15:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ephrem_wellenbrock/4mxsi1n5mz4igrzv/wish/1915536423 https://padlet.com/ephrem_wellenbrock/4mxsi1n5mz4igrzv/wish/1917398958 statement 6: Companies are trying to change who consumers are by making them need new things.]]> 2021-11-29 08:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ephrem_wellenbrock/4mxsi1n5mz4igrzv/wish/1917398958 statement 10: The consumption of goods doesn’t just dominate our lives; it’s what we do to live. ephrem_wellenbrock https://padlet.com/ephrem_wellenbrock/4mxsi1n5mz4igrzv/wish/1917400936 2021-11-29 08:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ephrem_wellenbrock/4mxsi1n5mz4igrzv/wish/1917400936 Consumerism https://padlet.com/ephrem_wellenbrock/4mxsi1n5mz4igrzv/wish/1917404201 statement 2: Consumers are caught chasing after a durable satisfaction they can't ever reach

Pro:
Because the companies try to produce products more efficiently, the products aren't as long living as they were 20 years ago

Companies also try to lure consumers to buy stuff, that they actually don't even want.

Cons:
Corporations only fabricate products that consumers need, because if they werent they would go broke

Consumerism also creats new workplaces and lesses the amout of unemployed people
