Consumerism
23 May 2013
Everyone everywhere must consume to live. Consumption helps us stay alive and keeps economies working. But a problem emerges when consumption is excessive, harmful or addictive. Then it becomes Consumerism. Consumerism describes a drive to accumulate more, competitive comparing of what we have with what others have, and equating worth with the material goods or services we possess, purchase and use rather than who we are.
