Consumerism

Consumerism is, nowadays, a much debated subject: on TV, on newspapers, on magazines… Is something that we, human beings, do even unconsciously.
When we go to the mall, or to the streets, on the supermarket, we have this need: this need of buying things! In this consumerist process, it includes, too, a “service buy”, which is consumerism inside our houses. People don’t buy only things that really are important to their survival, people spend money in things that they don’t need… at all.
In some cases, people are consumerists impulsively and that is a disease (an addiction) because they buy everything that they see.
One of the negative sides of consumerism is the increase of the industrialization because it’s, at the same time, polluting our air and we are already feeling some of the consequences that we should feel in 50 years from now.
