A Consumer Society
A consumer society rests on consuming material goods as a paramount feature of its balance and values. Hence people who do not consume are undervalued. Lots of investments and spending are consecrated to consuming, irrespective of whether it is good for health and the envirionment, for instance the advertising budget can be bigger than the education budget. Consuming brings wasting. Consumers are caught in an ever changing renewal of technologies and have to dump their older equipments. While people are attracted to some artificial comfort and work a lot to achieve a measure of comfort, they are distracted from important political issues like freedom and tolerate authoritarian regimes.
Is it good for a Society to be known for consuming alot?
